Elite Physical Preparation for High-Performance Football  – Developing the Modern Athlete. 

The Elite Football Programme at Abbotsholme School, in collaboration with IOF Academy, recognises that physical preparation is essential for excelling in high-performance football. Our enhanced Strength & Conditioning programme and athletic development training ensure that players build strength, agility, and injury prevention techniques, all essential for long-term success on and off the pitch.

Currently serving as a performance consultant for the International Olympic Committee (IOC), Rob brings unparalleled expertise to our academy, helping student-athletes reach their full potential at Abbotsholme School.
