About — Vantage high performance

OUR STORY

Company Vision & Mission

At Vantage, our vision is simple and clear - it is to see ‘Vantage players’ be widely recognised for their levels of physical performance, enabling them to thrive on the global stage.

Founded by Steve Falconer-Bowen, Vantage High Performance is determined to do things differently. Through the provision of world-class performance support services, our mission is to enhance the physical performance landscape within the private physical performance sector, and provide a supporting platform for players to attain their goals and reach their full potential. Through a programme that is battle-hardened and backed by science, Vantage will provide players with the tools to supercharge their journey towards the top. Built on the belief that with the right structure, commitment and coaching, players will become more resilient, dynamic and adaptable and achieve things that previously they may only have dreamt of.

VANTAGE principles

01. RESILIENT

Elite sport is tough. It’s relentless.

Vantage is built on the belief that in the heat of battle, players can rely on the confidence and mental fortitude developed from their physical excellence and the belief that they can outlast any opponent.

02. dynamic

Powerful. Agile. Fast. Efficient. Smooth. Effortless.

Common words used to describe some of the world’s best movers across a multitude of sports. Having the ability to utilise all of these skills at the correct dose and at the correct time, will allow them to become a dynamic mover and dominate their arena.

03. adaptable

At Vantage, the basis behind the principle of being ‘Adaptable’ is twofold.

1) Sport is chaotic. High variability means no two situations are exactly the same. Whilst we can identify and improve consistent actions or movements, we must look to create athletes who are highly adaptable to evolving scenarios and allow them to find confidence and clarity in the chaos of their sport.

2) Given the ever-changing landscape of elite sport, performance teams must be equally adaptable in nature. Variations in a players readiness to train, training facilities and equipment, time spent on the court or pitch during competition, intensity of matches, travel schedule…the list goes on. At Vantage we pride ourselves on being able to find innovative solutions to performance problems and provide much needed clarity and stability for players on their journey to the top.
