Vision & Mission
Sprinting has been a part of Tim’s life for more than two decades. With all this experience, he has reached a point where he wants to pass his knowledge onto the next generation of future sports stars.
His team of qualified professionals and himself will deliver all the key fundamentals on how to run in the correct way, therefore enabling those who attend the Academy, the ability to perform to their highest level.
The Academy will run every week on a Tuesday, we are looking at the possibility of running Thursday and a Saturday morning. Sessions will last for a maximum of 1 hour and will be held at the Leeds Trinity University Horsforth.
The Performance Academy will be on going throughout the entire year. Sessions will rotate within a 4-week cycle and will increase with intensity as the athletes and weeks progress.
Lifestyle mentoring and individual/group discussions will be a part of the ethos within the Academy. As the athletes develop their knowledge so must their ability to conduct themselves and set a good example to those around them.
