Book Lessons with Coach Adam

I’ve spent the last 15+ years working in professional, Olympic, and elite youth sport environments, including the NBA Global Academy, the Perth Lynx (professional womens basketball), and the Western Australian Institute of Sport. Across basketball, softball, sailing, water polo, and other sports, I’ve helped athletes prepare for professional pathways, Olympic competition, and long-term performance success.

What drives me most is helping athletes understand how elite habits and preparation translate to their own development. I believe coaching should do more than improve athletic ability, it should help athletes build confidence, independence, communication skills, and enjoyment in the process of improving.

My coaching focuses on improving movement quality, speed, strength, athleticism, durability, and confidence in ways that transfer directly to competition.

I also believe athletes should understand how to train properly, not just complete workouts. A big part of my coaching is teaching athletes how to train safely, train with intent, understand their goals, and track progress over time.

I use progress tracking and individualized goal setting to help athletes stay motivated and clearly see how their work is translating into improvement.

Sessions are structured, energetic, and purposeful. Depending on the athlete and goals, sessions may include movement preparation, speed and agility work, strength development, jumping and landing mechanics, conditioning, and sport-specific athletic development.

I place a big emphasis on quality movement, intent, and athlete understanding. I want athletes to leave sessions not only feeling challenged, but also understanding more about how to prepare, move, recover, and perform at a higher level.

The best coaches I’ve worked with challenged athletes to improve while still making them feel supported and understood. They created environments where athletes were accountable, confident, and excited to learn. That balance between high standards and strong relationships has had a huge influence on how I coach today.

I care a lot about creating an environment where athletes feel supported, challenged, and motivated to improve. While I’ve worked in elite sport environments, I believe great coaching is ultimately about relationships, communication, and helping athletes enjoy the process of improving.

I’m also a big believer in helping athletes become more independent over time, learning how to prepare properly, communicate effectively, train safely, and take ownership of their development instead of simply being told what to do.

I use goal setting and progress tracking to help athletes stay motivated and build confidence by clearly seeing their improvement over time.
