For running & athletics coaching in Brisbane and online.
Conceive your own goals. Believe in your ability. Achieve personal success. These ABCs guide the coaching journey and the decisions we make together. You do not need to be motivated, disciplined or fully ready to begin—an Initial Assessment is the first step.
Book an athletics Initial Assessment online or in person at QSAC or UQ St Lucia. Review your goals, health, performance and next steps.
An Initial Assessment helps identify your goals, current abilities, relevant health or injury considerations, and the most useful next steps.
Whether you want to run faster, jump higher, improve your fitness or simply work out where to begin, you will leave with a clearer understanding of your priorities and the most appropriate pathway forward.
You do not need to be fit, experienced, fully motivated or certain about your goals before beginning. The purpose of the assessment is to establish where you are now and what should happen next.
After booking, you may be asked to complete a short intake, consent and health screening form and provide information relevant to your goals or participation. You will receive instructions about anything you need to prepare or take with you.
We start by discussing your goals, experience and history. We may also assess the physical or sport-specific qualities most relevant to what you want to achieve. This may include running technique, speed, jumping ability, strength, power, mobility, coordination or endurance.
You leave knowing your key priorities, what to work on next, and the most appropriate pathway forward. This may include an exercise program you can complete independently or ongoing coaching sessions.
Initial Assessments are available online and in-person. Choose online when you need an accessible option when remote delivery and any required testing are practical for you. Otherwise, choose whichever venue is easier to attend. Current prices and available appointment times are shown before payment
Online appointment
Choose online when travelling to a venue is difficult, relevant results or video are already available, or requested testing can be completed remotely
In-person at QSAC
Queensland Sport and Athletics Centre, Kessels Road, Nathan. Usually the more accessible venue for Brisbane’s southside.
In-person at UQ, St Lucia
UQ Sport Athletics Centre, Sir William MacGregor Drive, St Lucia. Usually the more accessible venue for inner-city and western suburbs.
An Initial Assessment may combine health screening, discussion, existing performance information, remotely completed testing, video review and selected testing completed at a venue.
When useful information has already been collected, more of the appointment can be spent interpreting the results, identifying priorities and planning what should happen next. Additional testing or an in-person assessment will be recommended only when it is necessary.
Choose where you can complete the assessment, provide the information requested after booking, and the assessment will be adapted to your needs.
