 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Peak Athlete Training offers an excellent combination of rugby skills development and dedicated speed and agility programs for young players. My son has attended both the rugby skills and development sessions as well as the speed and agility program, and he has absolutely loved the experience. Josh’s approach and engagement as a coach really stand out, and the impact has been clear. We’ve seen a noticeable improvement in my son’s overall skills and especially his speed, to the point where his other coaches have commented on his development and asked what additional training he’s been doing. The group sessions are very well structured, with players grouped appropriately by ages which better aligns with the skill level of attendees, which creates a great learning environment. He also really values the focus on both backline and forward play, along with strong emphasis on key rugby fundamentals. A fantastic program with a great coach, highly recommended for any young rugby player looking to develop their overall game.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My 12 year old son has done both the holiday camps and the weekly speed and agility training. We can see real improvement in his speed from a start and ability to assess opportunities and quickly adapt his running into space on the field. Most importantly though is that he really enjoys it! Josh is an excellent coach and makes the sessions fun alongside tangible results.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Peak Athletic Training has been an incredible experience for our kids. Harlowe, Truett, and Huxley have all participated, and we’ve seen such a positive impact on each of them. The program has really helped build their resilience, speed, and overall motivation. It keeps them active while also developing a wide range of skills that go beyond just sport. Josh, who coaches Huxley, is outstanding. He’s not only a great coach but also an amazing mentor—he truly connects with the kids and brings out the best in them. He also makes it fun, which is such a big part of why the kids love it. They come back exhausted, red-faced, and completely spent—but already excited for the next session. They’re constantly motivated to beat their personal bests. I couldn’t recommend Peak Athletic Training more highly. Josh is the best

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My son has been attending Josh’s in- term and holiday training camps for the last 2 years and absolutely loves them. His skills, speed and overall fitness as well as confidence have all shown huge improvements. Josh and his team are all so good with the kids, my son has told me on many occasions that “Josh is the best coach “, when he says this it really comes from the heart!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have four children aged 15, 11, and 8-year-old twins. Three of them have worked with Josh, and their experience has been excellent. Their agility, speed, and confidence have all noticeably improved. I highly recommend Josh—he’s a genuine professional who truly knows his craft.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My 11 year old absolutely loved this rugby camp. He attended four classes over the school holidays and enjoyed every one of them. The training sessions were fun, well organised, and really helped build his skills and confidence. He especially loved the games and being able to put what he learned into practice. Josh is supportive, knowledgeable, and great with the kids.  Highly recommend to any young rugby players!

If You Want Your Kid to Stand Out, It Starts Here

Are you a parent of a rugby-mad kid who lives and breathes footy? You’re in the right place. Maybe you’re a young athlete trying to find your feet, you’re also in the right place.

Here, every player gets a clear chance to learn, grow, and perform with confidence.

Peak Athlete Coaching

Built for athletes aged 6 to 16 who want more from their sport.

More confidence. More strength. More direction.

We give players the tools to grow. They develop not just as athletes but as capable young people who carry those lessons beyond the field.

Who We Help

Some kids come to us chasing rep footy. Others simply want to feel more confident running onto the field. No matter where they start, they receive real coaching with real outcomes. They also receive structured development and long-term progress that shows.

What We Offer

We don’t run random drills or unstructured sessions. Every Peak Athlete program is built with clear purpose. Focusing on skill development, game understanding, movement, and confidence in a way that transfers directly to performance on the field.

Across all sessions, athletes are coached with consistency, intent, and care, helping them improve in a structured and supportive environment.

Who It’s For

Peak Athlete Programs are designed for athletes aged 6–16 who want to improve their rugby in a structured and engaging environment. Some are chasing higher grades or representative football. Others are looking to build skills, gain confidence, and enjoy the game while developing at their own pace.

Our Foundation

Everything we do is grounded in proven coaching methods, tailored for rugby. Every session is delivered with purpose—helping athletes build skills, confidence, and real performance on the field.

How We Coach

There’s more to building a great athlete than lifting weights or running sprints. That’s why we coach through three key pillars at Peak Athlete Training.

Physical Development

We develop speed, movement, and physical capability alongside the core rugby skills players need,ensuring everything improves safely, progressively, and transfers directly to performance on the field.

Mindset & Discipline

We guide athletes through positive role modelling and practical advice drawn from real playing experience.

Mentorship

We teach young athletes how to show up and stay focused. Additionally, we coach them to bounce back from setbacks and grow from challenges.

Our Standards

In addition, our training methods are based on Australian Strength and Conditioning Association guidelines. Therefore, they meet professional standards. Moreover, we are proud supporters of Rugby Australia grassroots programs.

AT PEAK ATHLETE TRAINING

We coach with care and train with intent.

Every athlete matters here — and we make sure they feel it.

Let’s Talk

The Brains Behind Peak Athlete Training

Coach Josh Sheridan

Peak Athlete Training founder Josh Sheridan

I’m Josh Sheridan. Rugby’s been part of my life since I was six.

I’ve captained GPS First XV. I played overseas semi-pro. Additionally, I’ve run out with the Warringah Rats for the past seven years.

Over that time, I’ve coached hundreds of athletes through camps, programs, and one-on-one sessions. Many of them have gone on to play at representative level.

What Drives Me

What drives me most is helping young players who are striving for more but don’t know where to go.

When a kid finds the right coach, the right environment, and the right level of belief, everything changes.

That’s why I started Peak Athlete Training — to give back to the game and help grow the next generation of rugby athletes the right way.

My Mission

My mission is to help young rugby players build confidence, discipline, and resilience. As they do, they perform better on game day. More importantly, they grow into strong, capable young people who carry those values into life beyond sport.
