As hockey coaches, SAQ® offers an irresistable combination: injury prevention, increased power, improvements in speed and a structured method for players to develop rapid changes of direction under control. Through many years in hockey, I’ve come across a variety of different physical training methods and techniques. I can safely say that players of all ages from junior school teams to senior international squads can really enjoy and benefit from the SAQ programme.

“Jo has provided the club with a new innovative and enjoyable way of training. During the season we have seen less injuries than normal and an improvement in the overall speed and agility of players”.
Fran Ripley Club Captain - Lansdown Women’s Hockey Club (Mentor to International Diploma student, Jo Shire)
“Having recently completed the P-Award, I decided to enrol on the I-Diploma. SAQ® has made a huge difference to my coaching, and the players do understand the benefits of sports specific fitness work. There is also the added benefit that it is both challenging and fun. I would add that with the SAQ® Continuum, training possibilities are limited only by your imagination!”
