25.01.2022 Round of Applause and Congrats to these three Return to Sport Athletes! All three are returning from major knee injuries and their commitment and hard work over a number of months has been a huge credit to them all and inspiring to see. Pic 1 - Jono Hobbs is only about 4-5 weeks away from returning to the football field with Torquay following an extended period of Tendinopathy in his good knee following ACL reconstruction @hobbsy3 ... Pic 2 - Elise Vella like Jono is only about 5 weeks away from her return to play following a ruptured ACL in March last year @e1ise.v @catswomens Pic 3 - Daniel Knight has actually just successfully returned to the footy field over the past few weeks for Drysdale following a 2nd ACL rupture @danknight11 Thanks to @lululemonausnz in Geelong for providing Vouchers that the three of them can use for some new training gear. All three are so deserving of the reward! #geelongathletecentre #jointhegacpack #strengthandconditioning #athletedevelopment #returntosport #running #football #geelong

We provide Geelong athletes with training opportunities that currently only exist at elite level sporting clubs or institutes. We opened this facility to ensure that our regional athletes have access to elite facilities and coaches, without travelling to Melbourne. ... We acknowledge that there is more than one type of athlete, so we have created programs to suit every athletes needs. Whether you are a junior athlete, weekend warrior, elite or return to sport athlete we have a program for you #jointhegacpack #geelongathletecentre #strengthandconditioning #athletedevelopment #geelong #sport #individialprogramming

21.01.2022 Great photo of the @catswomens AFLW coaches featuring our own David on the far left. For those not aware David has been working with the Cats women’s program since 2016 and is currently a Development Coach. The girls have been training for a few months in preparation for the season to begin at the end of January. We wish them all the very best in 2021! #jointhegacpack #catswomens #aflw #geelongcats #geelong #gac #strengthandconditioning

16.01.2022 It’s been an amazing opportunity working with the Geelong Galaxy under 15’s team over the past few weeks. These girls are currently undefeated, and their hard-work and dedication shows off the pitch as well. We have thoroughly enjoyed welcoming a team into our space and taking these young ladies through some strength and conditioning sessions to help with their soccer. We have helped them with developing strength foundations, running technique, speed and acceleration mechan...ics, jumping and landing technique and developed a warm up protocol for them to use on training and game days. These girls are on the pathway to maybe one day playing for the @matildas so the earlier they can be exposed to this type of high performance environment the better. We are privileged to be part of their journey and look forward to an ongoing relationship with the @geelonggalaxy #soccer #geelongsoccer #geelonggalaxy #highperformancepathway #juniordevelopment #soccertraining #geelongsport #womeninsport

13.01.2022 Assessing shoulder strength for overhead athletes using the Athletic Shoulder (ASH) Assessment on the @vald_performance force plates. Connor here is a new client who has suffered multiple shoulder dislocations following a collarbone fracture 4 years ago. He has also had shoulder stabilisation surgery, but is still not feeling ready to return to the sport he loves - Australian Football. This test helps us to determine objectively how Connor’s strength is affected in a vulner...able position as seen here (at 135 degrees). This position relates to a similar position held during a marking contest in football where Connor’s shoulder will be at most risk of dislocation. We look forward to helping Connor with his overall strength and fitness and in particular working towards a strong, resilient shoulder for his return to football next year #shoulderstability #hypermobility #vald #forceplates #ashtest #athleticshoulder #testing #rehab #highperformance #sportscience #strengthandconditioning

10.01.2022 MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM GAC Wow it’s been a pretty massive year for us!!! Opening a gym is a big step in its own right, but opening a gym during COVID-19 presented unforeseeable challenges. We are proud we have made it through and GAC is back open and thriving. It feels like Christmas is the full stop on the year that’s been and hopefully making way for a positive 2021. ... Thankyou to everyone for all of their support and all our amazing members, we couldn’t exist without you . Have a happy and safe holidays. We will remain open next week with morning classes only and closed public holidays. #happyxmas #geelong #performancegym

04.01.2022 We would like to congratulate GAC member Matt Gunther who yesterday won the Hobart Easter Marathon. It was a phenomenal performance in tough windy conditions. Matt is such a humble and inspiring person and we all are so happy for him.... Huge plaudits!!!

04.01.2022 It was extremely exciting testing this young talented track athlete, Massimo Pantano this week. Massimo recently came 6th in the 100m hurdles at the U/16 Australian Track & Field Champs and also won the 100m hurdles at the U/15 ACC championships breaking a 40 year old record in the process. He tested incredibly well and particularly in his drop jump test with a contact time of 0.15s, jump height of 36cm and a reactive strength index score of 2.4, which is the best we’ve seen... in the gym. Massimo is one of our scholarship athletes from @stjosephsgeelong. We can’t wait to help him with his strength training and physical development over the off season. #gac #geelong #juniorathlete #athletedevlopment #sprinter #trackandfield #elite #performance #strengthandconditioning

02.01.2022 Self reflection is an important part of growth and development. Understanding the inner workings of our own psyche and how this influences the way we perceive and act in this world is crucial to personal growth and self awareness. There is no better time of the year than now to start reflecting on the year that’s been. Obviously 2020 had been full of many challenges and disruptions to work, life, travel, study, sport, training and relationships as a result of the global pand...emic. However, with every challenge there is always a lesson or two to be learned. Yet, we only learn if we reflect and are aware of our behaviour and reaction when things go awry. How can we grow from the year that’s gone? Here are a couple of self reflection questions to ponder as we bring in the New Year. 1. What are you most grateful for in 2020? Why? 2. What challenged you most in 2020? Why? 3. Looking back on the year what could you have done better? Why and How? 4. What are you most looking forward to in 2021? Why? 5. Visualise your best self having accomplished your main goal for 2021. Spend time on the small details, smells, sounds, colours, and most of all feelings. Spend at least 5-10min on this. CHEERS TO NEW BEGINNINGS, NEW LESSONS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR #selfreflection #newstart #growth #personaldevelopment #success #awareness #athletemotivation #performance
