Dennis Newton Coach / Mentor

What Can You Expect

You’ll work closely with Dennis Newton to maximise your training productivity and avoid common pitfalls such as overtraining, self‑doubt and performance plateaus.

ADP services can be used as short‑term support during key training periods or combined to create a longer-term programme. To join, you need to be registered on the athlete roster. Before enrolling, Dennis arranges a short video call with every athlete to understand what you’re looking for and ensure the programme supports your needs.

During the consultation, you will work together to shape a personalised training plan that tracks your progress and benchmarks your skills against the latest normative data. This ensures your training remains targeted, purposeful, and aligned with your competition goals.

Throughout the programme, you will develop the ability to guide your own progress across three key areas:

  • Self-awareness: understanding your strengths, weaknesses, values, motivations, emotions, and learning preferences.
  • Resilience: managing change effectively, overcoming challenges, and recovering from setbacks.
  • Openness to learning: embracing feedback, addressing weaknesses, and engaging in meaningful practice.

This holistic approach supports your technical, tactical, physical, and psychological development, ensuring that your training reflects the full demands of high‑performance freestyle.

Dennis is dedicated to creating an inclusive training environment, where every athlete has the opportunity for personal growth and to achieve their full potential. His friendly and professional approach ensures that you feel valued, supported, and encouraged throughout your training journey.

Your in‑person training is designed to give you the right balance of focused coaching and supportive peer learning. We use flexible coach‑to‑athlete ratios so you get the attention you need while still benefiting from training with others. Most sessions run at a 1:2 or 1:3 ratio, which creates a productive environment and allows for realistic practice scenarios.

You can choose a private one‑to‑one session or work one‑to‑one with your personal coach while training alongside other athletes on the programme. Dennis will switch between individual and small‑group work to give you exactly what you need at each stage of your development. This approach keeps your training personal, adaptable, and fully aligned with your goals.
