Skills and fitness developed in training are built on top of movement patterns nobody has ever assessed or corrected. Those patterns don't fix themselves — they compound. And every athlete's are different.
Your son is developing his football. He's also developing movement habits that will limit him. Club training builds fitness and skill — it does not assess how he moves.
Traditional football S&C is built around bilateral, vertical force production. Football demands something completely different: unilateral, multidirectional movement — 17–19m average sprints, rapid change of direction, asymmetrical loading.
Poor movement patterns developed young become the ceiling on speed, power, and injury resilience. Every athlete has different deficits. A generic program addresses none of them.
Coaches watch the ball. Biomechanical faults in acceleration, change of direction, and hip extension go undetected — and untreated — for years.
Most gym programs train both sides equally. If a left-right imbalance already exists, equal training makes it worse. APX identifies it first.
Slow acceleration isn't fixed by more sprint drills. It's fixed by identifying whether the fault is technique, strength, or both — then addressing the root cause directly.
No two athletes have the same faults. Position, age, season stage, and assessment findings all change what the program should contain. One program cannot serve everyone.
Every assessment covers all four pillars. Each finding maps to a root cause. Each program targets root causes — not symptoms.
First step through initial drive phase. Forward lean, shin angle, foot strike, hip extension, arm drive, pelvic position. The foundation of everything else.
Top speed mechanics. Ground contact position, ankle stiffness, hip flexion on recovery, posterior arm completion, posture, pelvic stability under load.
505 protocol, both sides. Penultimate step, braking quality, plant mechanics, hip depth, first step out. Always left vs right — asymmetry matters here most.
Four movement tests: split squat, single leg RDL, med ball throw, single arm row. Identifies whether faults are technique deficits, strength deficits, or both.
Professional playing experience at the highest levels. Methodology built from sport science and competitive self-implementation — not theory alone.

Alun developed the APX methodology after identifying a fundamental gap in how football S&C is delivered. Grounded in physiological and biomechanical literacy from Loughborough University — one of the world's leading sport science institutions — and validated through self-implemented research that produced measurable performance gains at age 32, including a recorded top speed of 37km/h.

Filmed on your phone using the APX filming guide. Frame-by-frame slow motion analysis. No lab needed. Works anywhere in the world.
Drills are football-integrated where possible and where it adds value. Better compliance, better specificity — patterns trained with the ball transfer to the game.
Bilateral training can intensify existing imbalances. APX identifies left vs right differences across all four pillars and corrects them directly.
Slow acceleration is diagnosed — not just trained. The program targets the fault source: technique deficit, strength deficit, or both. Not a generic speed program.
Cones, a med ball, and resistance bands. The program works in a garden, a park, or a training pitch — wherever the athlete trains.
Sprint sessions added in pre-season and off-season. Resistance and injury prevention year-round. Safe alongside club training at every stage of the year.
Athletes film at prescribed angles each session and send footage. Fortnightly or monthly check-ins with the coaching team. Progression is earned, not assumed.
Every assessment includes nutrition and sleep guidance based on the athlete's age and position — the two recovery factors most neglected at junior level.
Position, age, assessment findings, and season stage all determine what the program contains. No athlete receives the same prescription.
These are real sessions. Real athletes. This is what the work looks like — on a pitch, with a ball, at match intensity.
Every drill in your program comes with this level of coaching detail. Filmed demonstrations. Exact cues. What to focus on. What good looks like. This is not a generic plan — it is built specifically for your athlete's faults, position, and season stage. Even the warm-up is coached in detail.
Most families move straight from Step 1 to Step 2. The report sits on a shelf without the program. Here's what the journey looks like — and what it costs.
