Our high-performance sport environment
Richardson Sport proudly works out of the National Taekwondo Centre at Ten Acres Lane Sports Complex Manchester, which is a world-class facility and home to the nation’s GB Taekwondo Team.
Working with us from this centre means you or your child will train in a most inspiring environment, away from the hustle and bustle of other commercially run facilities.
Often, it’s just us and the athlete, meaning they can learn and grow in complete confidence, with no peers around to put them off asking what they may think of as a ‘stupid question’, or worry that they’ll be made fun of if they can’t yet do what they are being asked to do – there are no stupid questions on our watch, just learning opportunities for the taking.
The complex also benefits from having 3G Astro Pitches on site, which we can book to provide sessions from (booking fees apply).

TEAM SPORTS
WANT TO WIN?
Athletes in all sports and at all levels want to win. But winning takes determination, confidence, technical ability and above all, fitness. At Richardson Sport, we treat mindset and training with equal importance. Whether you’re a professional or amateur athlete, we can transform you into a winner.
Having access to professional football fitness coaching in top-class facilities is vital to the development of players, both young and old. Our Open Classes and club/team/group sessions are aimed at improving key performance indicators for every pitch position in football. We explore disciplines such as competent body control in all directions, safe jumping and landing, power-developing ballistic movements such as medicine ball work and joint stabilising/strengthening work, to help keep you injury free.
A healthy, fit athlete is more likely to recover from any degree of injury quicker than if they were out of condition.
We also look at correct technical models for sprinting and plyometric work which, if performed correctly, will have a direct influence on speed development.
For clubs/teams/groups we can provide one-off sessions or a programme of sessions.
Mentoring & Support
We offer a tailored, holistic approach
Talking to athletes or their parents about, and working through, any concerns is an important part of our service. This sports mentoring is not just about an athlete’s progress within the physical training sessions, but the wider wellbeing impact too.
Having access to a mentor who has a deep understanding of the athlete’s journey plays a pivotal part in enabling the athlete to reach their desired goal. We might not always be able to talk straight after the session, so we may ask you to book a telephone or face-to-face consultation.
