Everything You need To Build Explosive Speed 1 Day Course
Ranell will take you through leading technical drills to maximise performance in straight line & multidirectional speed.
You will also learn how to identify & correct inefficient speed & movement mechanics in your players that will reduce their risk of injury & increase their on-field efficiency and run faster.
Training for Individuals & Small Groups
The ASSA training system has been designed for progressive athletic development in speed mechanics, acceleration and force production (strength) to make them run faster. Based upon decades of experience and world-class research and specialising in youth long term development for explosive sport speed and reduction in injury through perfect movement mechanics. For all field and court based sports players aged 9 and above.
Training for Teams, Clubs, and Groups of 10+ Players
More explosive speed is necessary to get to the ball first with separation from your opponent, sustain fewer injuries, or obtain greater endurance to finish the game stronger than your opposition. Improve your team’s ability to run faster, first step acceleration, rate of recovery from games and knowledge of game preparation through ASSA’s 8 and 12 week Speed and Agility programs.

We know you have excellent technical skills from your club coaches – let us help you stand out from your competition and give yourself the best possible chance to succeed by working on the athletic side of your game.
"Hey Kip/Ranell I’ve been at Southend United for the past 6 weeks training with their u23’s.They don’t have a spot to offer me a contract but have allowed me to continue training until I get another trial sorted out at another club so I’m fit for it. Really professional club, train 6 days a week Monday-Saturday with double sessions and gym sessions mixed in there.
A lot of the movements I’ve practised with Ranell we do at the club in training with the strength and conditioning coach pre training, in the warmups and during strength and speed training, you’ve prepared me well! The strength and conditioning coach said I was the fittest player they’ve ever had on trial and most players that come on trial don’t understand the movements and break down after a few days of training due to the shear intensity and volume of training.
We did 30m sprint testing yesterday with electronic gates timing it. Below was my time of 3.97 seconds. Which was the 3rd fastest behind times of 3.94 and 3.95 of 2 very fast players. The average time of the team being around the 4.20 second mark...
Just wanted to give you an update of what’s happening and say a big thank you for your help in preparing for my journey. I’ve been injury free and am feeling extremely fit as I’ve continued with the stretching which has played a major part in that I believe...
Big Thanks
Finn Ballard McBride"

" I am in service to your coaches .....to build the athleticism within you girls so that you can do everything that these fabulous coaches need you to do on the court".
Here is the video of Ranell's speech to the GWS Fury Netball teams (Opens, U23 and Pathways) at the induction meeting for season 2019.
The important message to be taken from this is that we work with technical coaches to create the players that they want - strong, fast, agile, resilient, mobile and confident.
2 sides of the same coin - working together to maximise the on-field/court performance.
OUR GOALS
The video above is taken from an agility specific training session with recently turned 15 year old soccer player Steven Brcic. He has been training with Ranell for over a year now and is soon to head to Europe for entry trials at some of the biggest clubs on the planet.
Ranell visits Bolton HP Tennis Arena, Arsenal FC, Southampton FC, Brighton and Hove Albion FC, Leicester FC, Crystal Palace FC and Wigan Athletic FC, England.
Ranell is often invited to attend the youth academies of world class clubs and share knowledge with their coaches, physiotherapists and sport scientists. She also presents workshops on “Efficient Movement Mechanics for Maximum Athletic Performance” on-site which are very well received. She can present this workshop in Australia for your club – contact the office now to book.

Ranell has been asked to provide a full athletic preparation program for the GWS Fury Netball U20 and Open team squads in 2017,2018 and again in 2019.
The program covers all aspects of the training necessary for them to achieve their maximum athletic potential on the court and includes strength, fitness, speed, agility, change of direction, mindset, recovery and stability.
The video above is a talk that Ranell had with the girls regarding the importance of correct technique in the weights room, with a focus on the squat for starters, and then onto the progressions for the exercises she wants them to perform. It finishes with her discussing individual preparation and creating the athletic mindset that will help them stand out from the crowd.
It is an excellent video, full of useful information for all sports players and highly recommended for coaches and mature players alike.
ASSA Coaching Director Ranell Hobson was recently asked to help prepare a young Liberian striker Emile Damey for possible National team selection by his coach Timothy Dakis. He flew to Sydney to have 1 session with Ranell comprising an assessment and introductory movement drills. At that time certain hip mobility issues were discovered and he was given programs that he could complete in his own time that would help to unlock these restrictions and give him an increase in his first step speed and change of direction.
He was chosen to make his debut for his country and scored a goal in his first match as shown in the video above.

How supercool is this !!!
Ranell was recently in Perth helping cricket fast bowler Aaron Hardie with mobility issues. He was travelling to Sydney this week to play in the Cricket Australia 11 vs India tour match and his dream was to get the prize wicket of one of the best batsmen in the world : Virat Kohli.
Looks like dreams do come true !
