The beginnings of Advanced Sports Performance in South Africa

April 27, 2012 - PRLog -- The owner and initiator, Sean van Staden, took the initiative and started a sports centre that focuses on training athletes to perform better by giving them solid foundations right from the get go.  

He decided to take his sporting career to the next level by putting years of experience to good use and helping others achieve their goals. The detrimental effects of running flat-footed and incorrect training have had a negative impact on his knees, joints and ankles, culminating in surgery on both knees. He wanted to prevent similar injury in others.

Even with the mentorship of a few of the best sports coaches in South Africa, their primary focus is still more on the team and winning. Although this is important, coaches also need to prioritise developing athletes at a young age and building solid foundations.  

With a little encouragement from his mother and wise words from an admired mentor, Professor Tim Noakes, Sean opened Advanced Sports Performance. He met the need for quality professional training for young athletes dedicated to maximising an individual’s potential through careful assessment and world-class training techniques. He starts his training programmes from as young as six-years-old, are based in Randburg and offers professional sports training to both primary and high schools and sports clubs. If you are a parent or an athlete please ask us about how we can help you better your game.

We are proud that many of our young athletes have become sports professionals. We have trained Keegan Richie who plays for Keizer Chiefs, Nico Killas who made the National U21 Cypriot Team and even 2004 Springbok Tonderai Chuvhanga who holds the South African record for most scored tries in a game.

My ambition to improve my own performance is mirrored in how I run my business and with the help of a team of like-minded qualified sport professionals, it is our goal to help develop and inspire young athletes to perform their best. The latest sports science technology is used which includes tools like video analysis, eye-vision training, mental strength training and sports specific assessment which equips young athletes with the tools they need to perform.
