Here’s Why You’re Getting Smashed in the Middle
You’ve been training like every other position on the field. Same running, same weights, same generic fitness work. But midfield is the hardest, most demanding position in footy – you need completely different preparation.
What’s actually happening:
- You’re running like a marathon runner instead of a footballer
- Your strength work doesn’t help you win the hard ball
- You have no clue how to back up contest after contest
- Nobody’s teaching you what elite midfielders actually do
The reality: Good midfielders cover 15km per game with 50+ sprint efforts. Your training needs to match that chaos. According to AFL research, midfield positions require the highest physical demands of any position on the field.
Transform Your Body Into a Midfield Weapon
We have helped countless AFL midfielders at all levels improve their performance through our specialized training programs.
“I was getting subbed off every game because I’d fade after half time. Thought I was just unlucky with my fitness genes. This midfielder training program showed me I was training completely wrong. Now I’m getting more possessions in the fourth quarter than the first. Made the league best and fairest top 10.” – Mitch, 20, Bendigo
“Moving from junior to senior women’s AFL, the pace was insane. I was getting beaten to every contest by girls who seemed to have another gear. The program built my repeat sprint ability and taught me how to recover between contests. Now I’m winning my own ball and backing into packs with confidence.” – Jess, 19, Perth
How Real Midfield Training Works
Get in control of your body & the way it looks for the rest of your life – but with a systematic approach that guarantees results.
Weeks 1-8: Build Your Engine
Most midfielders have pathetic aerobic bases. We fix that first. You need to be able to run all day before you can add the explosive stuff.
Weeks 9-16: Add the Power
Now we layer explosive power and repeat sprint ability on top of your endurance base. This is where good midfielders become great ones.
Weeks 17+: Peak Performance
Fine-tune everything so you’re dominating contests when it matters most. This is where championships are won.
Look, this isn’t just about playing better footy this season. We teach you the training methods that keep elite midfielders like Dusty and Cripps dominating for 15+ year careers. Master this and you’ll never train randomly again.
Custom Training Program for Your Midfield Role
Every AFL midfield position has different physical demands. Our trainers create programs specifically for your role:
Inside Mids (The Grunt Workers):
- Massive repeat sprint ability for contest after contest
- Core and hip strength for body-on-body battles
- Quick acceleration from stationary positions
- Mental toughness for the hardest job on the field
Outside Mids (The Runners):
- Enormous aerobic base for covering ground all game
- Speed endurance for breaking away from packs
- Agility for finding space when it gets congested
- Kicking endurance so your disposal stays clean when you’re stuffed
Wing Players (The Workhorses):
- Ridiculous running capacity for ground coverage
- Acceleration bursts for creating separation
- Change of direction speed for applying defensive pressure
- Endurance to maintain intensity for four full quarters
Efficient 45-minute Workouts – No Mucking Around
Elite midfielders don’t waste time on exercises that don’t help their footy. Every workout targets exactly what you need:
Contested Ball Sessions:
- Explosive first step to beat opponents to the ball
- Core strength so you don’t get pushed off it
- Quick feet for navigating through traffic
- Repeat effort ability for contest after contest
Running Sessions:
- Aerobic base for covering massive distances
- Lactate threshold work for sustained efforts
- Recovery between high-intensity bursts
- Mental toughness when your legs are screaming
Progress Tracking That Actually Matters for Midfielders
We test the stuff that makes elite midfielders:
Aerobic Power:
- 2km time trial (elite midfielders run sub-6:20)
- Yo-yo test (need level 20+ for elite level)
- 5km time trial for aerobic base
- How well you recover between efforts
Repeat Sprint Ability:
- 6 x 30m sprints with 30-second recovery
- Contest simulation with actual ball work
- How much your speed drops off when tired
- Recovery heart rate between efforts
Power and Agility:
- Vertical jump for contested marking
- 20m sprint from contest position
- Agility with ball handling under pressure
- Reactive movement when someone’s coming at you
Custom Nutrition Plan – Fuel Like a Machine
Midfielders burn more energy than any other position. Our nutrition coaching needs to match:
Training Days:
- Massive carbohydrate intake for energy demands
- Protein timing for muscle recovery
- Hydration strategies for heavy sweat losses
- Electrolyte replacement so you don’t cramp up
Game Days:
- Pre-game carb loading 3-4 hours before
- What to have at quarter time and half time
- Post-game recovery within 30 minutes
- Hydration for 2+ hours of intense running
Different Programs for Different Levels
