Rob delivered talks to our S4 pupils to help them prepare for prelims. He focused on the importance of good nutrition, hydration, sleep and exercise as tools to aid the brain and studying. Rob was excellent at engaging the groups of pupils and created a stimulating talk which was extremely helpful in showing pupils how simple steps can enhance their wellbeing and studying. We will be inviting Rob back!

Thanks so much! Glad the workshop Hit the right spot!
We really appreciate all the work that you and the other guys have put into James's development over the last two years. He is a totally different boy to the one that joined. His self confidence has grown massively, he's fitter, stronger and has really taken on the healthy eating habits. Hopefully this is something that he will maintain as he gets older.

Thanks Ross great to hear such good feedback! Fantastic to hear his confidence growing too!
Charlie has now been recognised for his 50th session by the athlete academy. I can honestly say he is 5 times stronger, that second faster, and most importantly, doing things right with the right technique shown by his great coaches. THANKS GUYS👍

Thankyou very much for the great review Dean! So glad to hear he’s seeing the improvement in his strength but also on the pitch in his football too!
In a little over a month I've already seen huge improvements in my son! Not only is he growing in confidence and gaining strength but he is enjoying learning about how to fuel his body for performance and recovery whilst taking gentle ownership of his own habits and goals. The coaches have been phenomenal with him each week and the parent support has been an added bonus. Real goals and real support. Not only are we learning from the sessions he attends but from the whole wealth of knowledge available on the app. We highly recommend the athlete academy!

Thankyou so much Siobhan! Glad you’re seeing the benefits already!
The Athlete Academy is a fantastic coaching program. Having coached here for the last 6 months, I can confidently say there is not a program out there like it, and I would recommend this to anyone looking for a youth development program. The balance of speed, power and strength training with the physical testing and support athletes and parents get makes it truly one of a kind!

Thanks mate appreciate the kind words from someone who has been involved “behind the scenes”!
We’ve seen a huge improvement in both of our children since they joined The Athlete Academy. Not only has their strength and agility improved, they are more confident in their own abilities and believe in themselves.
They love the sessions, talk highly of the coaches and look forward to their sessions each week.
I’d definitely recommend for any children looking to build their confidence and athletic skills.

Thanks Clare! So pleased to hear the positive impact not just in their strength and agility by more importantly in their self confidence! We love having them both!
Unbelievable place to learn and be educated on the correct way to improve on all levels.
I can't recommend Rob and his team any higher. Our son looks forward to every session and knows he will be encouraged to work hard and improve every week.

Thanks Phil! We appreciate it! So glad he’s enjoying the program! We love having him!
My son has been attending The Athlete Academy for a few months now. He enjoyed his first few sessions so much he asked to increase the frequency almost immediately. Not only has he noticed improvements in his performance and understanding of training techniques but he has also made new friends and feels supported and encouraged by the coaches.
As a parent I have been very impressed with communication and positivity from Rob and the team. The coaches are all excellent role models and are teaching skills and habits for life.

Thanks so much Becky! This means a lot to us! So glad to hear he’s enjoying it so much and seeing the benefits in his performance already!
As a participant of Athlete Academy for the past 2 years I can confidently say it's been a very good investment. The coaches create an enjoyable environment and has really helped me develop healthy lifestyle habits within the gym environment which has transferred onto the field. The programme has really built my physical strength as well as my confidence as a person. I would highly recommend the Athlete Academy to every young person.

Thankyou Kirsteen! That means a huge amount to us! So glad to hear about their progress and your positive experiences so far!
I definitely recommend The Athlete Academy. The programme and staff have always placed my child at the centre and supported him as an individual. They have also supported us, his parents, providing lots of great advice and information.

Thanks Gail! Great to hear how beneficial you’ve found the program!
My daughter who plays football started attending in March 2025 and is loving every second of it. She’s excited to go to each session and is buzzing afterwards, as she strives towards achieving some goals we’ve set to help improve performance on the pitch that will also have health and wellbeing benefits.
From the direct support and encouragement of the coaches during the workout sessions to ongoing useful emails I can’t recommend the Athlete Academy highly enough.

Thankyou for the review! So glad to hear she’s enjoying the sessions! It’s just a matter of time before she sees the results on the football pitch! It’s great to have more female footballers in the program!
Having coached at the athlete academy for the past 6 months I can wholeheartedly say that it is a phenomenal program. With every coach coming from a different background it has been amazing to learn new coaching techniques and information about sports that I would have never of known previously.
Rob is always considering new ideas on how to improve and run the AA which continues evolving each week. By making these changes it ensures everything runs smoothly and the athletes get the most out of their sessions.
I've loved coaching here and look forward to carry on doing so.
Well done to Rob and the rest of the team

Thankyou Ross! I appreciate your feedback as you see the full picture of what we do! It’s great to have you on the team!
My son has been going to the athlete academy for sometime now. He absolutely loves going, which is the main thing for me as a parent that he enjoys learning how to use equipment and work out correctly without causing injury to himself. Learning from a young age is so important. Athlete academy sets the standard in youth development and training. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Thanks for the review Neil! So glad he enjoys it so much! As you say so important that kids learn proper technique and progression to prevent injuries and set them up with good habits for life!
Thanks to the team at Athletic Academy, for helping my son Harris achieve his rugby scholarship at Strathallan school, 200 plus sessions and he enjoyed every one of them. Fantastic team of coaches past and present !
