(Philosophy)
Alexis believes that successful performance coaching requires experience, structure, discipline, and a clear understanding of the athlete’s competitive environment.
A programme should not be based only on general fitness. It must consider the athlete’s sport, position, injury history, playing schedule, physical condition, and long-term goals.
“The objective is not only to help athletes train harder, but to help them prepare correctly, perform consistently, and remain available for competition.”
