Speedworks Academy is a non-for profit charity organisation that supports local developing athletes make the transition into elite performance. Speedworks aim is to bridge the gap from junior talent to a senior performance by supporting each individual athlete’s needs by having an all-encompassing support team around them. The support team incorporate a dynamic assessment process, using movement screening to make clear decisions in the field. These decisions may include coach intervention, strength and conditioning, performance therapy, supportive equipment or professional referral.
Please join us on our mission to support and encourage the high-performance ambitions of young athletes from all walks of life, supporting as many people as possible by connecting the dots and turning their dreams into a reality.
These high-performance ambitions are not only nurtured to champion a future in elite sports but to inspire a commitment to excellence in every facet of their lives. By focusing on their mental and physical abilities, we provide them with the necessary tools for success.
Through sponsorships, mentorship, and medical support, we help to bridge the socio-economic gap and give everyone a fair opportunity to achieve their full potential.
This life-changing programme has helped numerous athletes to compete at the highest level. To date, we have inspired over 20 Olympians and Paralympians, with over 10 athletes currently competing in the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. In addition, we have also led the pathways of elite footballers, rugby players, coaches, and medical staff members.
With your help, we can inspire and mould the next generation of elite sportsmen and sportswomen.
Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.
— Michael Jordan
We understand the mental and physical fortitude required to compete at the top level, as well as the financial limitations that can obstruct the pathway to success...
By removing these boundaries and creating a nurturing environment to facilitate growth, we are able to optimise the opportunities of many young people; making it our mission to ensure they succeed, not only in high-performance sports but in all walks of life.
In building solid, early-learning foundations through the mentorship of experienced athletes, our learners gain first-hand experience in the commitment required to perform at a high level and the determination required to overcome failure and setbacks.
Through one-to-one and virtual coaching programmes, our students can work at their own pace, while receiving the financial aid, mentorship, and treatment necessary to maximise their chances of success.
Physical capability is only one of the components necessary for success; we support the transformation of both body and mind, realising that all minds deserve to be nurtured and challenged on the road to success...

At this point in my life, I truly believe that any success that has come my way was not only to empower me as an athlete, but for me to empower and strengthen others. I have many passions in life, but my greatest one is to encourage and help others of all ages and backgrounds understand this: no matter the starting point, you and only you decide the ending. Let me pass this on to them
