What people say
Testimonials
Finding a coach who prioritises a child’s long-term development over short-term results is rare. Owen and Maryna embody a true “less is more” philosophy grounded in experience and research.
Despite the slower, more thoughtful approach, the improvements in rhythm, attitude, and overall athletic ability were immediate. Most importantly, my children love training and thrive across multiple sports.
Who better to guide a young athlete than coaches of international repute with deep expertise in both performance and psychology?
After years of plateauing under multiple coaches, training with Owen and Maryna van Niekerk transformed my performance. Within seven months, my 100m time improved significantly by training the right way, not just harder. Their depth of knowledge, research-driven approach, and commitment to developing athletes properly sets them apart.
Na jare se harde werk met min resultate het ek by Peak Performance Atletiekklub begin oefen en alles het verander. Binne vyf maande het my 100m- en 200m-tye merkbaar verbeter danksy korrekte, doelgerigte en wetenskaplik gestruktureerde oefeninge. Die ondersteuning, tegniese leiding en positiewe oefenomgewing het my weer laat glo in my potensiaal as atleet.
Having trained under many coaches across different sports, Owen van Niekerk remains a benchmark for excellence. He understands athletes deeply—knowing when to push and when to hold back.
His ability to innovate, refine training methods, and bring out an athlete’s best is unmatched. Owen didn’t just coach me; he helped shape my career and mindset.
Training under Owen and Maryna van Niekerk is a privilege. Every programme is scientifically structured and purpose-driven, allowing athletes to focus fully on development. Owen’s technical expertise is matched by Maryna’s guidance and psychological insight, creating a complete, athlete-centred training environment.
