Coaching Information Form

Please take your time and be very specific when answering this form, as it will reflect how your programme is set out.

The Go2Max system is not just about getting a programme. It is about achieving optimum improvement in the shortest amount of time through knowledge of the athlete’s past and current physical limitations matched against their expectations. I believe a properly applied system can help turn athletic limitations into athletic talents and talented athletes into champions.

Some of the fields below are small on the form in display only, but please enter as much information as you can. This information will really help me customize YOUR programme.
