Supporting your focus and goals

Operational and Strategic

Special Projects

Keeping abreast of all current research and processes across the full spectrum of sports development and performance attainment is often impossible to do in today’s exacting work environment. While your staff deal with ‘today’ this service can help in keeping a watchful eye on ‘tomorrow’.

We are able to support your long term plans by innovation, discussion and operational reviews.

Operational Reviews

An operational review evaluates conformity with plans and resource allocations, organisational structure, operating procedures, processes, and controls. In today’s volatile marketplace, organisations must do everything possible to ensure their operations are running most economically and effectively to maximise desired results. In such a competitive environment, operational reviews have become increasingly important.

Reviewing High Performance has become a matter of fact in today’s very competitive sporting market-place. National Governing Bodies and individual sporting entities must ensure that they are delivering ‘best-practice’ across all facets of their operation and it is to this end that an operational review can play its part. A review can:

• Highlight the current strengths of the operation


• Highlight areas for support and change
• Establish criteria for staff professional development
• Recommend for staff recruitment
• Recommend change for short term interventions
• Recommend change for long term interventions so as to ‘stay ahead of game’.

Performance Support

Improving Physical Competence in the developing athlete

All sports specific skills and movements require the athlete to produce, reduce and stabilise force in a multi-plane, multi-directional and multi-joint environment. We offer a full Physical Competence screening for your athletes that will allow you to individualise training. This service is tailored to each of the important Training Stages of an athlete’s progression – from Development to High Performance

Reducing injuries

Injury Prediction is a fast growing facet of all high performance strategies and can be integrated into your performance plans. It is imperative that your program reduces those ‘controllable’ injuries that blight selection and performance. We can deliver a balanced program of Functional and Athletic development that will reduce the toll that injuries have on your program.

Improving return to Training and Competition processes after injury

This critical process is deserving of much thought as it clearly illustrates the systematic control and delivery required to return your best athletes back to competition without the risk of re-injury.

Improved Speed, Agility, Strength, Power, Endurance, Flexibility

These High Performance qualities are central to all sports performance and the world is full of many ‘spells, potions and gadgets and magic programs’. Having the ability to provide evidence based ‘best practice’ processes is a vital component of all sports models.

Maximising your human resources

Increasingly organisations are looking to ensure that they both improve and retain their best staff. We can deliver a range of professional development workshops that are designed to keep your staff at the cutting edge of their specialist area. Your staff would be exposed to recognised benchmarks and current research in their task area.

Integrating support services – Sports Medicine

The role and coordination of Allied Health practitioners into the performance loop is a critical element of all High Performance models. The recruitment of the best practitioners and the coordination of their efforts are vital. Kelvin has been at the leading edge of Australia’s Institute network and can weave this element together for all organisations.

Integrating support services – Sports Science

Some of the most critical elements of training must be monitored on a regular and efficient basis. The use of modern technology and data collection and mining (GPS, Prozone, Dartfish, RPE’s and RSI’s, etc) forms the cornerstone of Injury Prediction, Injury Prevention, Performance Enhancement and Athlete Tracking.

Optimise training time

Planning the program to the required standards is a ‘must-do’ for all organisations, coaches and participants. Movement Dynamics can call upon demonstrated experience in short, medium and long-term planning of management and training issues.

Staff Recruitment

Kelvin has recruited, mentored and placed some of the world’s leading Athlete Development specialists. He is experienced in recruiting the best practitioners for your organisation and continuing the ongoing professional development of these vital human resources. Wading through CV’s will be a thing of the past when your organisation is confronted with staff changes.
