Absolutely stoked to see this legend Sienna Clinch receive an invite to the AFLW Draft Combine.

This one has been earned.

The work she has put in behind the scenes has been absolutely next level-relentless, consistent and professional. Always willing to do more.

Always willing to go beyond what’s expected. Never looking for shortcuts.
Now she gets the opportunity she deserves.

And make no mistake… she is a serious point of difference.

Her raw strength and power are frightening. A genuine game changer and a physical profile that AFLW clubs simply don’t see every day.

She dominates the ruck, gives her midfielders first use with elite hit-out and tap work, then follows up at ground level like another midfielder.

That combination makes her an absolute nightmare match-up.

Big. Powerful. Athletic. Competitive. Relentless.

So bloody proud to see the countless hours, sacrifices and unseen work starting to come to fruition.

The Draft Combine invite is a massive achievement.

But I genuinely believe this is only the beginning.

AFLW… take notice.

WE DON'T JUST BUILD BETTER ATHLETES... WE BUILD BETTER LEADERS.

At Ultimate Sports Performance, our mission has never been simply to develop stronger, faster or more powerful athletes.

Our mission is to develop exceptional people.

This week, one of our athletes and coaches, Trent, was recognised with the prestigious Duke of Edinburgh's International Award-one of the world's most respected youth leadership programs.

At just 19 years of age, he has also previously received The Southport School (TSS) Leadership Award.

These achievements aren't earned through talent alone.

They're built through years of discipline, resilience, service, integrity and leadership.

Anyone who knows Trent understands why he received this recognition. He leads by example, holds himself to the highest standards and genuinely cares about helping every athlete become the best version of themselves.

We're incredibly proud to have athletes and coaches like Trent leading the next generation at USP.

Because one day sport ends...

Character, leadership and the impact you have on others lasts forever.

Congratulations, Trent. A well-deserved achievement, and one the entire USP family is incredibly proud of.

Joey Hayes Is A Liar!

Yep.

One of our own athletes, Michael Cilmi, actually said it.

And to be fair…

Four months ago, Michael probably had every reason to think I was completely full of it.

At the time, he was playing **Palm Beach Reserves**.

He couldn't even get a consistent game in the senior side.

A VFL contract wasn't on his radar.

Then I looked him in the eye and told him:

**“Give me six months and I'll help you earn a VFL contract.”**

Michael walked away thinking…

**“Mate… you're dreaming.”**

What happened next is exactly why I love coaching.

Because Michael didn't need another motivational speech.

He needed an honest assessment of where he was.

A plan for where he wanted to go.

And then the discipline to execute it.

We assessed everything.

Strength.
Speed.
Power.
Recovery.
Nutrition.
Mindset.

Then Michael went to work.

No missed sessions.

No excuses.

No blaming coaches when he wasn't selected.

He just kept preparing.

Then opportunity knocked.

And Michael was ready.

**Some people call that luck.**

**We call it preparation meeting opportunity.**

I'll let Michael tell you what happened next…

And yes…

Apparently I'm still a liar.

**How far could you go with the right plan?**

FROM PALM BEACH RESERVES... TO A SOUTHPORT SHARKS VFL CONTRACT IN JUST SIX WEEKS.

This weekend, Michael Cilmi made his debut for the Southport Sharks VFL Team.

What an unbelievable achievement.

Six weeks ago, Michael was playing Palm Beach Reserves.

Then came the opportunity in the Palm Beach Seniors.

He grabbed it with both hands.

Two outstanding performances later...

📞 The phone rang.

Southport Sharks VFL team wanted him.

Now contracted he pulled on the Sharks jersey yesterday!

But here's what most people never see...

For months Michael has trained 3 sessions every single week at USP for the last 8 months.

He didn't miss sessions.

He didn't make excuses.

He followed every detail of his individual program.

He invested his time.

He invested his money.

He even made the commitment to relocate from Melbourne to train with us.

What impressed me most wasn't his talent...

It was his response to adversity.

For 8 consecutive weeks he wasn't selected in Palm Beach Seniors.

Did he complain?

Did he sulk?

Did he blame coaches?

Not once.

Instead he asked one question...

"What do I need to improve?"

Then he went back to work.

Again.

And again.

And again.

That's what mentally tough athletes do.

Because opportunities don't care how badly you want them.

They reward athletes who are physically prepared...

Mentally prepared...

And ready to perform when their moment arrives.

At USP, that's exactly what we pride ourselves on.

No stone left unturned.

100% commitment.

Every session.

Every rep.

Every recovery.

Every decision.

Because when opportunity knocks, preparation determines whether you simply answer the door... or kick it wide open.

Michael, I couldn't be prouder of you, mate.

You've earned every bit of this through hard work, humility and relentless consistency.

Now go out there, enjoy every second, and show everyone exactly why you've earned your place.

The journey is only just beginning.

Congratulations, brother.

LEGENDS DON'T MAKE EXCUSES. THEY MAKE HISTORY.

Today, Lee Hacker (51 years young) achieved something that only a small number of women around the world will ever accomplish.

She earned her Fourth Dan Karate Black Belt today.

But the black belt isn't the story.

The journey is.

16 weeks ago, Lee made a decision.

Not to complain.

Not to lower the standard.

Not to accept "good enough."

She committed.

Week after week, she travelled from Ballina to the Gold Coast, often multiple times each week, while balancing family life, welcoming a new grandchild, and working through a body that had every reason to slow down.

Together we rehabilitated:

Lumbar disc pathology.
Cervical degeneration.
Hip Bursitis.
A previous 20 cm quadriceps tear.
Multiple movement limitations that could have easily become excuses.

Yet across the entire 16 weeks...

She didn't miss a single session.

No excuses.

No ego.

No shortcuts.

Just relentless consistency.

That's what separates high performers from everyone else.

Talent is overrated.

Motivation comes and goes.

But discipline... discipline shows up regardless of how you feel.

Lee also had the humility to ask for help, trust the process, embrace coaching, prioritise her recovery, nutrition and preparation, and execute the plan day after day.

That's what elite performance really looks like.

Not perfection.

Consistency.

This achievement wasn't built today during the grading.

It was built over hundreds of small decisions that nobody saw.

Every early morning.

Every rehab exercise.

Every recovery session.

Every time she chose discipline over convenience.

Lee, everyone at Ultimate Sports Performance is incredibly proud of what you've achieved.

You've shown that age is not a limitation-mindset is.

Congratulations on an extraordinary achievement.

Your USP 2XU singlet has officially been earned.

And on behalf of the coaching staff, it's also reassuring to know we've now got someone in the gym who can kick the crap out of anyone not pulling their weight!

Legends don't make excuses. They make history.

The biggest difference between athletes who make Nationals…

Isn’t talent.

It’s commitment.

The willingness to risk failure in pursuit of something bigger.

Twelve months ago, Marco left Melbourne to chase an AFL dream.

No guarantees.

No shortcuts.

Just relentless work.

Today, he’s representing the Gold Coast Suns Academy at the AFL Under 16 National Championships.

That jumper wasn’t given to him.

It was earned.

Marco, we’re incredibly proud of you, mate.

Now enjoy every second and back yourself.

20cm Vertical Jump Increase in just 8 Weeks...

In more than 25 years of coaching, I honestly didn't think I'd ever see it.

Not in a beginner...

Not in an untrained athlete...

But in an athlete who already had previous strength training experience.

53cm to 73cm vertical jump in just 8 weeks.

People will ask...

"What's the secret?"

There isn't one.

The secret is doing the things that most athletes aren't willing to do.

Every flexibility session.

Every mobility session.

Every activation.

Every recovery session.

Every meal on the nutrition plan.

Every sprint.

Every rep.

Every single day.

No excuses.

No shortcuts.

Success leaves clues.

So does failure.

The USP program works.

But only if you DO the work.

Owen did everything I asked of him. No questions. No missed sessions. No skipped recovery. Just complete commitment to becoming the best athlete he could be.

So what does a 20cm increase in vertical jump mean on the football field?

Higher marks.
Faster acceleration.
More explosive first steps.
Longer kicks.
More power to break tackles.
More strength to stay on your feet in contests.

To Owen's parents... thank you.

You trusted the process, supported him from the sidelines and let him take ownership of his journey.

At USP we reward commitment, not talent.

That's why Owen has earned his USP 2XU singlet.

Mate, I'm incredibly proud of you.

You invested in yourself.

You trusted the process.

Now you're seeing the rewards.

The best is yet to come.

Commit to the process. The results will take care of themselves.

Success doesn’t always come when you think it should.

Sometimes you do everything right… and still don’t get picked.

You train harder.
You prepare better.
You outperform others.

Yet your opportunity never seems to come.

That’s where most athletes lose belief.

Michael Cilmi didn’t.

For the past 6 months he hasn’t missed a session despite a busted hand.

✔️ Added 6kg of quality muscle.
✔️ Improved his speed by 17%.
✔️ Increased his vertical jump by 22%.
✔️ Reduced his body fat by 6%.
✔️ Became stronger, more explosive and more resilient!

Every week he was dominating in the lower grades, but senior selection never came.

Politics.
Points.
Team balance.
Selection.

None of it mattered.

We had one conversation over and over:

“Keep playing so well, they can’t ignore you.”

Eventually, the opportunity came.

✅ Senior debut.
✅ Three goals.
✅ Second Best on Ground.

That’s what preparation looks like when opportunity finally arrives.

Too many athletes spend their energy complaining about coaches, selectors or circumstances.

The best athletes spend that energy becoming undeniable.

Your job isn’t to control selection.

Your job is to be so prepared that when your number is finally called, everyone remembers your performance.

To every athlete who’s been overlooked…

Keep knocking.

Keep improving.

Keep showing up.

Because when that door finally opens…

Don’t just walk through it.

Kick it off the bloody hinges.

Couldn’t be more prouder of you! USP 2XU singlet earned!

The best is yet to come!

🚨 The Biggest Recovery Mistake Athletes Make? 🚨

They think recovery means doing nothing.

❌ Sitting on the couch.
❌ Skipping training.
❌ Waiting to "feel better."

The reality?

The best athletes in the world don't just recover...

They actively accelerate recovery.

At USP, many of our athletes use strategically designed Isometric Strength Training sessions after games and competitions to help their bodies bounce back faster.

Why?

Because the right type of strength training can:

✅ Reduce muscle soreness
✅ Improve blood flow without creating fatigue
✅ Restore movement quality
✅ Strengthen tendons and connective tissue
✅ Maintain strength during the season
✅ Prepare the body for the next training session

The goal isn't to leave the gym exhausted.

The goal is to leave feeling BETTER than when you arrived.

💡 Great recovery isn't passive.

It's a skill.

And athletes who recover faster can train more consistently, perform at a higher level, and stay healthier throughout the season.

Train hard.
Recover intelligently.
Perform relentlessly.
