Progress is built one step at a time.

10kg to 20kg.

That’s not just a heavier weight. It represents strength, consistency, confidence and the willingness to keep challenging yourself.

For young athletes, we’re not chasing the heaviest weight possible.

We’re building the strength and movement quality they need to become stronger, more confident and more capable athletes.

The goal isn’t to compare where they are to someone else.

It’s to see how far they can go from where they started.

Build the athlete. Build the foundation. Build for the long term.

6kg ➡️ 12.5kg.

Indi has more than doubled the load on her Cossack squats.

A stronger athlete isn’t built by chasing big numbers overnight. It’s built through consistency, quality movement, and gradually challenging the body to do more.

From 6kg to 12.5kg.
More strength. More control. More confidence.

This is progress. 💪

Strength is more than what you can lift. It’s believing you can do it.

For Indi, training at Rivals has been about more than getting stronger.

It’s helped her build the confidence to step up, make mistakes, move past them quickly, and keep going.

She’s also found a community that encourages her to train harder, become stronger, and believe in herself.

And her mindset says it all:

“It doesn’t matter what people think about me. Just try to reach your goals.”

That’s the kind of mindset we want every young athlete to develop.

Stronger body. Stronger mindset. Stronger athlete.

It’s not always about getting faster. It’s about being able to move fast in every direction.

In sport, athletes rarely get the luxury of running in a straight line.

They need to push laterally, absorb force, change direction and explode again.

That’s why we use movements like band-resisted lateral bounds.

They challenge an athlete’s ability to:

• Produce power off one leg
• Control lateral movement
• Stick and stabilise the landing
• Build the qualities needed for sharper change of direction

Because athleticism isn’t just about how fast you can run.

It’s about how well you can move.

That’s what we train at Rivals.

8kg → 15kg.

Same athlete. Stronger version.

Progress doesn’t happen overnight. It comes from showing up, putting in the work, and trusting the process.

From 8kg to 15kg, this is what consistent training looks like.

Stronger. More confident. More capable.

The work adds up. 🔥

It’s more than just training. It’s about finding the right environment to grow.

When Jordan joined Rivals, his dad wanted him to be part of a community where he could train alongside other driven athletes, work with Jackson, and keep pushing towards his goals.

For Jordan, that meant improving his performance on the field and working towards some big soccer goals, including making his academy team and eventually representing the South Coast.

That’s what we love about what we do at Rivals.

Helping young athletes become stronger, more confident and more committed to the goals they’ve set for themselves.

The right environment can make a big difference.

What if the goal wasn’t to move the weight?

That’s exactly the point of the Isometric Mid-Thigh Pull.

Instead of lifting the bar, the athlete pulls against an immovable resistance, producing as much force as possible while holding a strong position.

This trains an athlete’s ability to:

• Produce high levels of force
• Apply force through the ground
• Maintain a strong athletic position
• Coordinate the entire body under maximal effort

For athletes, strength isn’t just about how much you can lift.

It’s about how effectively you can produce force when it matters.

That’s why isometric training has a place in athletic development at Rivals.

Sometimes, you don’t notice the change because you see your athlete every day.

Then someone who hasn’t seen them in a while says:

“Geez, Ozzie’s really looking fitter, faster and stronger.”

That’s when you realise just how much those small, consistent sessions are adding up.

Twice a week.
Week after week.
Training with purpose.

And nine months later, Ozzie isn’t just fitter, faster and stronger.

He’s a far better athlete than he was before.

That’s the power of consistency.

Nobody warns parents about this until it’s too late.

Every year, athletes tear ACLs on non-contact plays. No collision. No contact. Just landing wrong.

Most training focuses on speed.
Almost none of it trains how to land.

Landmine split drops build fast eccentric loading. This teaches athletes how to decelerate, stabilise, and re-accelerate with control, the exact mechanics involved in non-contact injuries.

Athletes who can’t absorb force properly:

Land with poor knee alignment
Lose stability under fatigue
React slower to plays
Carry a higher non-contact injury risk

Athletes who can?
They move sharper, safer, and more confidently, and stay on the field.

At Rivals, we build control first. Then we build speed and power on top of it.
