"Hi Braidon, Samuel has had a great start to his first football season. He is goal keeper and captain of his team (Kamo Rangers) He got the player of the month this last weekend. I just wanted to say thank you for the training you have given him. It was not just the skills he learnt but the confidence to join a team and excel.”
— Nicole (Samuel’s Mum)
“After doing a few sessions with progressive athlete I definitely noticed an improvement with my physical performance in talks of strength and mobility. I have a history of injuries from being on the field and I feel these training sessions helped with injury prevention as we worked a variety of areas of the body that I wouldn’t usually work in the gym. As a result of these training sessions I’ve been managing to come out the other side of the season with less injuries and more opportunity to play the game I love.”
-Jayden
“Most of you in my closer circles know I’m not so trusting or easily convinced when it comes to gyms, personal trainers or fitness gurus. But Braidon is perhaps one of the most sincere and genuine souls I’ve come across! Not a surface skimmer, he takes the time to understand you as a core and human to assist in your athletic and health development. Such a wealth of knowledge and advice. 100% recommend you go check him, his work and his training program out. Just letting you know I left the consult feeling heard, informed, comfortable, safe, validated and respected! So you know you are in good capable hands.”

“I started working with the progressive athlete towards the middle to the end of the 2021/2022 season in the national league. I wanted to get quicker and stronger over 5-10 yards. He assessed me and immediately got to work. We started off with two sessions a week and dialed it back based on my loading/demand of my team-based workouts or trainings. Everything was specific to explosive movement and intent when powering through on my take off. Focusing on the obscure details and improving my fundamental movements when sprinting and pivoting helped me gain the extra step I needed when challenging for a ball or gaining an advantage while dribbling If you are looking to improve movement, range of motion and maximizing intent off take off, I seriously recommend working with the progressive athlete.”
-Jade
“Over the past two years, the progressive athlete has helped me improve my overall athleticism immensely. While my athleticism has improved, I have also been able to prevent injury over the course of two football seasons. This is thanks to the progressive athlete and the amazing work that we have done together. Not only have I become a better athlete on the field but I’ve learned more about my own body in the process and I am grateful to the progressive athlete for that.”
— Emman
“The effects of the sessions with Braidon were immediate. I saw the difference in each game I played. I was faster, more explosive and stronger and sessions were quick and effective.”

From what I can observe you work on a range of foundational athletic skills which I like. And you seem to balance the level of challenge and fun well to allow for a good level of sustained progression which I also like. I also enjoy how you provide a good level of positive, honest and strength based feedback.

Miller has genuinely loved being part of your group sessions, and I’ve noticed they’ve helped build his confidence as well. He’s even mentioned himself that he feels like he’s improving, which is always really encouraging to hear. A few times now, he’s come home excited to share things he achieved during session whether it’s something new he learned or beating another player in a speed drill. It’s been great to see that enthusiasm.
-Natalie
"James has been enjoying the speed and agility sessions with you and has seen some definite improvements".
-Anna
"I have seen a huge improvement in George’s stamina throughout his games, even after being really sick! I love all of the co-ordination exercises and cross body movements, wonderful skills for the mind as well as the physical. George and I used to do body weight group fitness sessions together, so it’s lovely to see him doing planks again 🤭 George enjoyed the marching and Octopus tag. George said you are a “consistent and passionate” coach. George also said that you’re “nice and approachable”. George can be a tough crowd and won’t do anything he doesn’t like, he was instantly yes for round two!"
