    S&C COACH

    Hi! I’m Ashleigh, a passionate Strength and Conditioning Coach and the founder of Elevate Performance Coaching. My goal is to help athletes of all levels, whether you’re just starting out or striving for elite performance, reach your full potential through structured, evidence-based training.

    I specialise in athlete development, speed and strength training, and injury prevention, drawing from my extensive experience as both a coach and a semi-professional football player.

    With a background in Exercise and Sport Science and as an ASCA Level 1 Strength and Conditioning Coach, I’m committed to providing athletes with the tools they need to excel in their sport. I understand the challenges of balancing training, recovery, and life, which is why I build flexible, results-driven programs that fit into your busy schedule.

our Why

Our Coaching Philosophy

At Elevate Performance Coaching, we take a holistic approach to athlete development. Our training programs focus on building strength, speed, power, and proper movement while also prioritising recovery, nutrition, and mental resilience. We believe success is about more than just physical performance; it’s about developing the whole athlete.

We create an environment where athletes feel supported and empowered as they push their limits. Training at Elevate is purposeful, enjoyable, and focused on consistent, well-rounded progress.

Discipline, resilience, and mental toughness are at the core of our philosophy. We believe that true growth comes from overcoming challenges and improving every day, both physically and mentally.

OUR MISSION

At Elevate Performance Coaching, we believe that the traditional approach to sport and training often leads athletes down a path of overtraining, burnout, and physical and mental fatigue. The pressure to specialise too early, combined with a lack of support around recovery and intentional training, leaves athletes at risk of losing their sense of identity and long term wellbeing.

Our mission is to transform the way athletes train and develop by focusing on the whole athlete. We prioritise balance, education, and empowerment, ensuring athletes understand how to train smart, recover properly, and perform sustainably.

We are committed to creating an environment where athletes feel supported in their journey, encouraging them to push their limits while also respecting the importance of rest and recovery. At Elevate, we build resilience and confidence, helping athletes achieve success not just in their sport, but in all areas of their lives.

We want to educate athletes on the value of intentional training, self awareness, and mental toughness, ensuring they are equipped with the knowledge to thrive both physically and mentally, now and in the future.
