StrengthLab / Athletic development
Better athletes
are built, not found.
Strength, movement and confidence, developed around the athlete in front of us. Coaching in Hilton, Derbyshire, and online programming wherever you train.
01 / Where we start
Find what you can do.
Build what comes next.
Every athlete arrives with things they can do, things they find difficult and things they have yet to learn. That is where we start.
We look at how you move, what your sport asks of you and the week you have available. Then we build the strength, control and coordination that give you more options.
You should know what you are working on, why it matters and what progress looks like.
02 / Find your route

Explore coach mentorship03 / Strength is dancing
Strength is a movement skill.
Timing. Coordination. Control.
Force in the right place, at the right time.
We coach the whole movement: producing force, absorbing it and choosing how to use it. As an athlete becomes more capable, the challenge develops with them.
That applies to a child learning to land, a tennis player changing direction and an experienced athlete building strength.
Our approach to young athletes04 / Schools & tennis
More children.
More ways to move.
StrengthLab Superheroes gives primary schools a progressive movement programme. Tennis SuperMovers helps coaches develop the physical foundations of junior tennis players.
Both grew from the same question: what can this child do, and what will help them learn the next part?
