COMMON QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

1-1 Coaching is available in session blocks rather than a monthly membership. You can choose from a block of 5 sessions at £300, 10 sessions at £600, or 15 sessions at £900 — all working out at £60 per session regardless of block size. There is no minimum commitment; you simply purchase the block that suits you and book sessions at a pace that works for your child.

Each 1-1 Coaching session is 60 minutes in duration, delivered on a fully individual basis by one of our qualified coaching team.

Yes, the Profiling Session is required before beginning 1-1 Coaching. It allows us to collect baseline data on your child for future athlete development reviews, and to place them at the correct entry point within our Movement Mastery Curriculum. If your child has already completed the Profiling Session for our Group Coaching programme, there is no need to repeat it, we’ll use the data we already have on file.

While both programmes follow our Movement Mastery Curriculum and the same core coaching methodology, 1-1 Coaching delivers a more individualised experience. Activities and programme components are adapted specifically around your child’s personal goals, sport demands, injury history, or rehabilitation requirements. Your child receives the full attention of a dedicated coach for the entire 60-minute session, with no other athletes present.

1-1 Coaching is ideal for athletes who benefit from a higher level of focused individual attention. This includes athletes managing an injury or working through a rehabilitation process, athletes with specific performance goals that require tailored programming, and athletes who struggle with social anxiety or who simply aren’t comfortable in a group training environment yet. It can also serve as a stepping stone before transitioning into Group Coaching.

Yes — this is one of the most common reasons families choose 1-1 Coaching. Our coaches are experienced in adapting sessions around injury and rehabilitation requirements, ensuring your child continues to develop athletically while respecting the boundaries of their recovery.

1-1 Coaching offers greater scheduling flexibility than our Group Coaching programme. You can book sessions at any available time that suits you, with no requirement to attend on a fixed day or time each week. Sessions can be booked in advance or arranged on a more ad hoc basis depending on your needs.

No. Unlike our Group Coaching membership, 1-1 session credits do not expire at the end of a calendar month. Your sessions remain valid until they are all used up, giving you the freedom to work through your block at whatever pace suits your child’s schedule, commitments, and training needs.

All 1-1 sessions are delivered by The Athlete Academy’s degree qualified coaching team, trained in the same methodology developed by founder Rob Anderson — MSc, BSc (Hons), ASCC, and UKSCA Youth Strength and Conditioning Coach of the Year 2024.

There is no minimum commitment. You simply choose the session block that suits you — 5, 10, or 15 sessions, and there is no obligation to purchase further blocks once those sessions are used. Many families use 1-1 Coaching flexibly alongside other commitments, or as a targeted intervention during a specific period of their child’s development.
