Athletic Development for Youth Athletes

Unit Health & Performance has been brilliant for building my son's pace and agility for playing football. The coaching is both professional and encouraging and I would highly recommend Vitalij to any athletes looking to improve their performance and technique.

Athlete360 is a fantastic resource for any budding sportsperson. Vitalij has great attention to detail, explains things very clearly and tailors the coaching to the athlete. Whether your child is a sprinter, ice hockey player, rugby player, footballer or any sport he will devise a training plan suited to your child’s needs. My son plays rugby predominately and Vitalij has improved his acceleration, change of direction, sprinting generally and also his sprint power. Overall having a huge positive impact on his ability to play the game. My son thoroughly enjoys every session and the benefits are obvious.

Athlete360 Performance has proved to be a fantastic addition to my sons training regime. Jonas is 12 and plays ice hockey and following lockdown we saw a Facebook advert to try some of the speed sessions.We signed up not knowing what to expect, but it was a great session. Since then Vitalij has worked closely with Jonas to increase his speed, strength and power. Crucially Jonas loves the training and is motivated every week to go and work hard.In the ice we have seen a huge increase in his strength and confidence in what he can do. If you are considering it , then try it and see if it fits for your child.

Vitalij is a critical part of the sporting offer at Worksop College. His work ethic, knowledge and patience have been vital in driving both the sport for life ethos but also the performance element of our programme. As a small school we need to get the most out of every pupil physically in order to compete and he does a great job of this. I know that our teams and individual athletes really benefit from his background, expertise and drive.

Whether you are an aspiring youth football player or a professional athlete, Vitalij is great at assessing your current level of physical abilities and has the knowledge and capabilities to improve your strength, agility and fitness levels.

It is an honour finally being coached by a strength and conditioning professional who is knowledgeable and can  focus on my physical development for swimming. When I started working with Vitalij, his individualised and scientific approach to my training helped me to improve my performance by increasing my power which I noticed through faster starting times off swimming blocks which had a huge impact on my comeback into swimming as a sprinter. Other than him being a great coach, he is a very nice person and working with him is a pleasure as has a very personal approach to everybody and can adapt to different athletes needs and personalities. I would highly recommend Vitalij's services to anyone who is looking to develop they physical qualities to improve their sport performance.

He is the most knowledgeable strength and conditioning coach I have ever met. Vitali’s knowledge and experience is all rounded and his training programs are very effective in terms of enhancing my sprinting technique,speed, strength and power as a 100m sprinter. He is a true professional.

Erin is really enjoying the sessions and the way Vitalij is coaching yet challenging her to progress. We are really seeing the benefit in game play and the improvements have been commented upon by others.

Vitalij had a vital role in my success on playing football in England and in Europe. He assessed my form when I first met him and wrote a workout program that helped push me to a higher level of my fitness, strength and agility. I learnt a great amount from Vitalij about my body and how I can reach the next level in football physically and mentally by being consistent in what I do in the gym and on the pitch.

As a parent of a sports scholar at Worksop College, I have been immensely impressed with the work that has been done by Vitalij with my 12 year old son. He is fitter, quicker more dynamic and powerful for his body weight.
