Pioda

Here at Pioda we use for all of our testing equipment. Zander takes us through how we test our athletes hamstring strength using our Vald NordBord. We use the NordBoard for our teams, schools and individual clients. This allows us to regularly test their hamstring strength and monitor their progress, as well as help manage players with their return from injury.

Despite how switched on our boss may seem, no one escapes World Cup Fever 😅

Hear from Bundoora United Senior Women’s players Sasha, Isla and Danni and coach Matt about their first season with Pioda. They discuss how our high performance program has helped them go undefeated so far this season.

A quick highlight reel from our year so far!

We continue to grow our ventures and reach a broader population of clients and athletes each and every year.

Enjoy a few snapshots of some of our favourite moments from this first half of 2026.

We have so much more to share throughout the second half!

Coaches .sc and .by.ca lead the way at one of our major school partners, Mount Ridley College!

The program involves athletes competing in the school’s Elite Sports Program, where we push the students to reach their full athletic potential in the hopes of progressing into academy sport.

The High Performance team at Pioda has had quite the term to start the year! We tested the athletic abilities of over 300 students across 4 schools, and provided these schools and academies with valuable information to help guide their physical preparation programs throughout the year.

One of our four testing stations involves the use of VALD ForceDecks. These are an amazing tool for us in all areas of our practice, but provide great insight into the vertical power capabilities of our student, team sport, and individual athletes.

Hear from .jstevens on how we conduct our vertical power testing.

There’s more to Change of Direction training than shuffles, curves, and cuts. So much of what happens on the football pitch requires players to manoeuvre their body or running path while maintaining as much speed as possible.

The Sprint-Backpedal-Sprint drill teaches athletes exactly that - the ability to face another direction, while keeping their current speed and maintaining the same path of movement.

Players who can make these changes without losing speed create separation from opponents, win duels, and arrive at balls first.

provides the perfect context to this drill for the seniors.

Personal Training is not the same for everyone.

Everybody has different goals, different preferences, and different approaches.

Long-term client Julie gave an incredibly well spoken testimony about how Pioda has been able to help her reach the level of success she has wanted to see!
