Built by an athlete who missed out on this

Hey, I'm Em, a university-qualified exercise and sport scientist specialising in strength & conditioning for individual and team athletes.

"I don't think athletes don't work hard enough. It's that they don't have the education to know what to do."

I grew up playing sport in regional NSW, where proper coaching just wasn't there. Moving to Sydney for Premier League netball showed me exactly what I'd been missing.

Primed exists so no athlete has to trade location for quality coaching. No generic programs, no shortcuts. Just evidence-based preparation that drives results when it matters.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do you monitor technique and ensure I'm lifting or moving correctly?

Coaching goes far beyond providing a program. Technique is monitored through structured video analysis, where you submit footage for review and feedback. Video is one of the most effective tools for performance improvement, self-awareness and long-term development.

Do I have to be "elite" to work with you?

No, you don't need to be competing at an elite level. But you do need an elite attitude. Working with a coach requires commitment, consistency and ownership. We work with athletes who are ready to show up, apply the process and make meaningful change.

What makes you different to an online personal trainer?

This service focuses on long-term athlete development, performance outcomes and evidence-based decision-making. Training is planned around your sport, competition calendar and progression needs, with ongoing assessment rather than static programs.

What is an exercise & sport scientist?

A university-qualified professional trained in human movement, physiology, biomechanics, performance analysis and training prescription. At Primed Performance, every decision is guided by evidence, data and the specific demands of your sport, not trends or guesswork.

Why do I have to pay for the set up session?

The set-up session is a strategy session, not a discovery call. Your enquiry form already provides foundational information, so we come prepared with direction. During the session we assess your current training load, clarify priorities and map out a clear plan.

Why do I have to commit for 12 weeks?

Meaningful change takes time and consistency. Strength, resilience and performance development require structured progression. A 12-week commitment ensures you fully engage in the process, build momentum and experience real, sustainable improvement.
