Yesterday, GAC High Performance Coach Bri welcomed GAC Strength & Conditioning coaches Pip and Holly to spend the day with the Western Bulldogs AFLW program.

In her role as AFLW Head Strength & Conditioning Coach at the Bulldogs, Bri gave Pip and Holly the opportunity to experience what a full day inside a professional AFLW environment looks like—from on-field preparation through to gym-based strength and conditioning.

It was an invaluable learning experience, providing insight into the planning, detail and resources that go into supporting elite athletes at the highest level.

We’re incredibly fortunate to have someone with Bri’s knowledge and experience leading the high-performance direction at GAC. Opportunities like this allow our coaching team to continue learning, growing and bringing best-practice coaching back to the athletes we work with every day.

Junior athlete development is a long-term investment.

At Geelong Athlete Centre, we believe the greatest improvements in young athletes aren’t achieved in a matter of weeks. They’re built through years of consistent coaching, purposeful programming and a commitment to continual development.

Our Junior Development Program provides an environment where athletes can develop strength, improve movement quality, enhance athletic performance and build the confidence to compete. As each athlete grows, their training evolves with them, ensuring they continue to be challenged and supported at every stage of their sporting journey.

One of the most rewarding aspects of coaching is seeing athletes return year after year. Watching them mature, embrace the training process and develop not only as athletes but as young people is a privilege that we never take for granted.

Our role is simple: to provide quality coaching, individualised programming and an environment where every athlete has the opportunity to reach their potential.

If you’re looking for a long-term approach to your child’s athletic development, we’d love to be part of their journey.

Every junior athlete deserves more than a generic program.

At Geelong Athlete Centre, every athlete starts with an individual assessment before receiving a program built around their sport, goals and stage of development.

From one-on-one coaching to coach-led training and ongoing progress reviews, our focus is simple: helping young athletes build strength, move better and perform with confidence.

THIS IS ATHLETE DEVELOPMENT. DONE RIGHT.

Today we’re excited to launch the new Geelong Athlete Centre website.

The new site provides a clearer look at our athlete development pathways, return to sport services, performance testing and all we offer.

A big thank you to everyone who has supported GAC along the journey so far and a huge thanks to Emily at WELCOME TO THE CIRCUS and Residency Studios for all your hard work work and patience through the process

This week our outstanding Coach Pip, is heading overseas for a well-earned adventure before returning to begin her Master’s of Physiotherapy.

Over the past few years, Pip has become a hugely valued member of the Geelong Athlete Centre coaching team, building great relationships with our athletes and bringing energy, professionalism and care to every session.

While her studies will see her step back into a smaller coaching role, we’re thrilled she’ll continue to be part of the GAC team as she embarks on this exciting next chapter.

We’re incredibly proud of everything you’ve achieved so far, Pip, and can’t wait to see what’s ahead.

Safe travels and we’ll see you back at GAC soon!
