Interesting fact
He bases his work on relationships and loves a handshake. So much so, he has a personalised version with each individual that he has the pleasure of working with.
Ski racing is a hugely demanding sport both physically and mentally, which is why it is crucial that all athletes are receiving a wealth of up-to-date knowledge in order to maintain a healthy and balanced lifestyle. Health is a critical underpinning of performance. Therefore, together with HealthKix we will focus on three key elements: Food, Fun & Fitness.
Food: Elliott’s BSc degree allows him to specialise in nutritional manipulation in health, sport and exercise, providing a deeper understanding in the importance of fuelling your body effectively. Nutritional education will support you with a greater awareness of how you can do this to assist your training and development.
Fun: Sessions are designed with a perfect balance of challenge and enjoyment. It’s not just about doing the reps, sets and boring exercises. We do things differently. Every session will leave you with a smile on your face, we can guarantee that.
Fitness: Age specific training and tracking is crucial for your development on and off the slopes. Catering sessions to focus particularly on balance, agility, core strength and coordination are fundamental components within this programme, allowing you to ‘Kix-start’ your health and performance.
