The Level 3 Performance Coach accreditation empowers coaches to guide athletes aged 15+ through the Training II (Specific) stage of development, as outlined in Australian Athletics’ guidelines. This program equips coaches to prepare athletes for national and international success by mastering skills in biomechanics, recovery, nutrition, plyometrics, strength and conditioning, sport psychology, and periodisation.

With a focus on competition, the program also emphasises supporting athletes to balance the demands of training with their social, psychological, and cognitive development.

You're an ideal candidate for the Level 3 Performance Coach program if you work with senior athletes aged 15+ who are targeting national-level competitions and beyond. Whether you're a Senior Club Coach, leading a private squad, a Specialist HPE Teacher, or part of a Performance Support team, this program is designed for those passionate about taking their athletes to the top. If you’re committed to helping athletes achieve their best while navigating the challenges of training, competition, and life balance, this program is your next step in coaching excellence.
