Advancing talent development in youth sport through evidence-based training and real-world application.
From developing young athletes to supporting older adults and the general population, our evidence-based training methods are applied in real-world settings to build strength, performance, and long-term health at every stage of life.
About me
I’m Dr Jason Moran — a Senior Lecturer, strength and conditioning coach, and researcher specialising in youth athlete development. With over 150 peer-reviewed publications and collaborations across elite sport, I help bridge science and practice to optimise how young athletes are trained, tested, and supported.
This site shares my academic work, applied services, and projects in long-term athlete development (LTAD), biological age profiling, and evidence-based training systems.
