ATHLETICS
 ACADEMY

At Park View Academy of Sport, our players benefit from a Premier League academy-standard performance gym — equipped by Perform Better, the official supplier to the England National Team. Our state-of-the-art facilities provide everything needed to help athletes progress physically and reach their full potential.

​

Our Strength & Conditioning programme is headed up by Martin Nugent Elite Performance (MNEP) — one of the UK’s leading high-performance specialists. Martin and his team bring vast experience working with elite-level athletes across professional football, athletics, rugby, and combat sports. His résumé includes working with Premier League and international footballers, Olympic medalists, and world-class performers such as Jordan Pickford, Steph Houghton, Beth Mead, and Patrick van Aanholt.

​

MNEP’s team of UKSCA-accredited, Master’s degree, and PhD-qualified coaches deliver tailored programmes for every player, focusing on developing strength, power, speed, and endurance — the physical attributes crucial to excelling at the highest levels of football.

​

The performance gym is fitted with cutting-edge technology, including VALD testing systems, Witty Timing Gates, and PASCO force plates, allowing our staff to monitor workloads, track performance data, and create evidence-based training programmes. Athletes also benefit from full and half racks, Olympic lifting platforms, and specialist tools such as the Eccentrix K-Box — designed to elevate eccentric strength and overall performance.

​

Every student-athlete follows a structured, position-specific training programme delivered by MNEP’s experienced coaches who understand the physical demands of the professional game. This ensures all players are physically prepared to perform and thrive both on and off the pitch.
