our vision

At Athlete Development we want kiwi kids to be the most capable young people in the world when it comes to engaging with physical activity and sports. By helping to develop kids who are robust and resilient, we allow them to avoid injury and make the most of training and games. Building confidence and independence allows kids to improve their problem-solving skills and deal with difficult situations as they arise in any setting. By growing athletic and competent movers, we allow kids to be the best they can be.

There are two things that are key to how we approach Athlete Development.

Establishing the fundamentals. It’s only when the basic building blocks are in place that more complex tasks can be mastered.

Evidence-based programmes. This allows us to focus on specific areas that will lead to rapid and sustained performance improvements.

The Athlete Development team at AUT Millennium has been a trusted and valuable part of our Level 3 Physical Education programme for many years. Their expertise provides an authentic bridge between classroom learning and real-world sporting performance through the application of sport psychology, fitness principles, anatomy, and biomechanics across a number of practical and theoretical workshops. Our students come from a wide range of sporting backgrounds, from athletes in some of the highest levels of competition to those who simply enjoy being active. In all cases, every student benefits from the engaging, hands-on learning experiences and the opportunity to train in a genuine high-performance environment with the Athlete Development team. The outstanding staff, workshops, and facilities make this a highlight of our PE programme each year and we greatly value the positive impact on our students’ learning and development.

we had such an awesome time! It was amazing for our students to see what a world class facility looks like and start to get an understanding of the opportunities for further study and employment in the sport and rec industry.

The students and staff got so much out of the experience, and I really appreciate the time and energy that you and the AUT Millennium team put into making it such a worthwhile visit.
