Strength testing for young Athletes
One of the key components of the TPM Sponsored Athlete Program is modern strength and movement testing.
Using evidence-based assessment methods commonly used in elite sport, our team evaluates an athlete’s:
• Strength
• Power
• Balance
• Movement patterns
• Injury risk factors
These assessments allow our physiotherapists and exercise professionals to better understand how an athlete moves and where improvements can be made.
This type of testing helps young athletes:
• Reduce injury risk
• Improve strength safely
• Track physical development
• Build strong foundations for long-term sport participation
For growing athletes, this guidance can make a huge difference in helping them train smarter and stay on the field longer.
Why supporting local athletes matters
At TPM, we’ve always believed healthcare should extend beyond treating injuries.
Supporting young athletes early helps them develop:
• confidence
• resilience
• strong bodies
• healthy movement habits
By working alongside schools, clubs and families, we hope to create an environment where young people feel supported as they pursue their goals.
The Woolgoolga High School Sporting Academy continues to produce outstanding young talent, and we are proud to play a small role in supporting these athletes as they develop.
Supporting youth sport on the Coffs Coast
Programs like the TPM Sponsored Athlete initiative are part of our broader mission to support the health and wellbeing of the Woolgoolga and Coffs Coast community.
The future of sport in our region is incredibly bright, and we are excited to see where the journeys of these athletes take them.
Our entire team will be cheering them on.
