The Youth Athlete Blueprint

Hey everyone — welcome!

I’m Ashley Downing, an Olympic-level strength & conditioning coach with over 12 years of experience in elite sport. I’ve supported 60+ international medals and currently run a youth S&C facility that works with every level of youth athlete from grass roots/beginners to juniors representing national teams.

The Youth Athlete Blueprint was created to give parents and youth athletes access to the same world-class training principles used by top-performing youth athletes — in a way that’s practical, safe, and age-appropriate.
