Strength and conditioning for athletes of every sport, with a special focus on young athletes. Built on more than a decade of coaching and testing in the UAE and Canada.
There is the skill, and there is the athlete. Skill is built where the sport is played: on the field, the court, the pitch. The gym can't recreate the unpredictability of a game, and it shouldn't try. What the gym can do is build the athlete underneath the skill.
Strength, balance, coordination, power, speed, agility and quickness. A well-built athlete can adapt to whatever sport they play, and has the tools to become a better player of it.
Every program starts with keeping the athlete healthy and training. A durable athlete is one who gets to keep improving. You can never eliminate injury, but you can reduce the chances of getting injured.
Youth athletes deserve training that fits their age: proper, age-appropriate, and never just a loaded-up version of adult work. We start with the basics and give them time. Good foundations take patience, and once they're in place, the ceiling is wide open.
I'm Yasser Siddiqui, a performance coach for athletes. I've spent more than a decade coaching and testing athletes across multiple sports such as cricket, football and squash, with youth development at the heart of what I do.
I love to teach. The more an athlete understands why they train the way they do, the better they train.
I also train and mentor young strength and conditioning coaches, giving them firsthand experience and helping them become better.
Individualized strength, speed, power and movement programs, from youth athletes to elite level, in-season and off-season.
