An immersive and experience-based learning program, taught and mentored by SANO experts, who are high-performance athletes and coaches from professional sport
Develop the person that drives the performer
What
it is
SANO Health’s Emerging Athletes Program is a unique opportunity to discuss high-performance habits and mindset with some of Australia’s best athletes, from sports including AFL, AFLW, tennis, hockey and diving.
Emerging athletes will have a one-on-one meeting with a SANO expert, or elite athlete of your choice, to further explore a topic that we deliver in the program.
You will learn:
How to achieve daily success by understanding and connecting to your values.
Skills to thrive through challenges.
Practical methods and applied use of mindfulness, gratitude and initiative.
Tools and methods to optimise recovery and workload balance to improve performance.
The Emerging Athletes Program is broken up into a 5-day schedule of sessions running from 10am - 1pm:
Program 1: Dec 5th - Dec 9th
Program 2: Dec 12th - Dec 16th
Program 3: Jan 16th - Jan 20th
How
it works
The first day of the 5-day schedule will involve a tour of SANO's Kew facility, along with an introduction to and the logistics of the program. A presentation on personal values will be delivered by an elite athlete and the day will end with education on recovery. The session will instruct on self-massage and tissue release techniques.
Day 2 is a combination of a 'Get Present' activity, a session on mindfulness and a mobility and yoga-based recovery session. Following this, day 3 begins with a 'Group Energiser' activity and will end with an elite athlete presentation on a gratitude and initiative.
The fourth day of the program will begin with a 'Get Present' activity, with a 'Choice Points' session to follow. Today's recovery session will be education on hot and cold rotation recovery before the final day commences with a combined protocols recovery session, followed by the 'Tie It All Together' session. The program will end with a lunch for parents and athletes.
