ESD Waitlist

Want to join our next ESD Cohort

We are planning future ESD Mentorship programs, with the next one scheduled for early 2026

Join the waitlist and be the amongst the first to secure a place on our next intake.

Thanks to Andrew and James for putting on a well thought out and informative mentorship. Great to get some of Andrew’s insights into testing, prescription and physiology of sprint interval work. Has solidified a lot of my thoughts on conditioning as well as providing me with some valuable take aways to integrate into my current conditioning protocols.

I found the way Andrew distilled a lot of different areas of physiology that have in this space throw around but don't clearly define, Andrew was able to put them into very easy and simplified concepts which I liked. He went through different models and ways people think of physiology and was able to propose a much easier way to think about things. He also gave theory, practical information then actual practice with real data analysis with his top athletes which I didn't get at university. It's put me in the right direction for my own practice to use in S&C and potentially clinical exercise physiology.

The development of energy systems presents a multifaceted and complex challenge for high performance sport staff. Andrew delivers exceptional clarity on a complex topic, skilfully combining cutting-edge research, sound theory, and real-world case studies to help participants grasp the full picture of energy system development. If you’re seeking practical insights you can immediately apply in the filed, this mentorship comes highly recommended.
Mitch PembertonStrength and Conditioning Coach | Sports Science North Queensland Cowboys NRL
I learned so much about conditioning for sports and especially for combat sports. The knowledge was practical and I could implement a lot myself. When I had questions I could always ask them directly to James or Andrew. I would recommend this mentorship for coaches and athletes who want to learn more about conditioning and how to be a better coach/athlete.

The ESD mentorship is much more than just simple online courses. Andrew is going out of his way to answer your questions and giving extra content. The mentorship completed change my approach of conditioning for sport.
Vincent Darchez
Andrew, he was always open to solve your questions no matter what, and the knowledge of the course itself, with a lot of interesting things about physiology and how it works in the “real world”, something that is often missed.

One of the most valuable aspects of the course would be the authenticity. Many programs tout their own ready-made approach to handling performance. With this program it brought back the idea that nothing is written in stone and you need to adapt to the athlete, the environment and the timing.
Dr. Scott ChristieHons BSc Kin, DC, Chief Science Officer ISHPLabs
I found a lot of the research papers shared with us very interesting and good reads. All the research that was shared with us, it was very valuable and very insightful.

What You’ll Learn Each Week

✅ Week 1 – Data capture, technology, common pitfalls & how to use our portal
✅ Week 2 – Energy continuum, substrate utilisation, Metabolism 101, calcium’s role & a soccer case study
✅ Week 3 – Systemic vs peripheral physiology, VO₂Max vs mVO₂, and why it matters
✅ Week 4 – HR kinetics & NIRS: what they mean, why they matter, and how to use them (with 2 case studies)
✅ Week 5 – Understanding sporting demands & how to target energy system development (focus: boxing)
✅ Week 6 – Athlete assessment protocols, and matching them to individual sporting demands
✅ Week 7 – Real-world data analysis: breaking it down, finding insights, making it meaningful
✅ Week 8 – The full ESD blueprint: bringing it all together


💬 Plus, 4 live chats to walk through key concepts, answer questions, and break down live data step-by-step — showing you exactly how to go from numbers to programming decisions.


🌐 And throughout the mentorship, you’ll have full access to our community portal — a space to ask, share, reflect and connect with others on the same journey.
If you’re a coach, sport scientist, athlete, S&C practitioner or applied physiologist — and want to go deeper into energy systems, this is your chance to level up.
