MOST TALENTED ATHLETES NEVER REACH THEIR CHILDHOOD DREAMS.

Want to know the truth about youth athletic development?

In a world where more is often seen as better, the right physical preparation can be the difference between your child succeeding or falling short.

When children are young, encouraging them to try a wide range of sports is ideal. Running, jumping, swimming, and playing builds a solid foundation for their future athleticism. The more diverse their experiences, the better equipped they are for adolescence.

But as they grow, challenges arise. Rapid physical changes make them more vulnerable to injury. Increased training demands and pressure to perform can overwhelm them. Many young athletes are pushed too hard, for too long, until they break.

The key to balancing multiple sports, training sessions, school, and social life is developing their athletic potential off the field. Teaching athletes to jump, land, run, push, pull, and build resilience against injuries is essential. It helps them keep progressing while others are forced to take time off.

This approach is our ‘secret weapon’. While most athletes simply train harder, our athletes dedicate part of their training to mastering movement skills. Learning to move well not only prevents injuries but also lays a strong foundation for future success.

For young athletes aspiring to go professional, every advantage counts. Our Emerging Athlete Program offers that edge—building strong, resilient, and well-rounded athletes who are prepared to excel when it matters most.

PHILOSOPHY

OUR TRAINING
PHILOSOPHY

Movement & Coordination | for a consistent mover

Junior athletes who move well gain a natural advantage. We believe that the most athletic juniors are often the ones who deliver exceptional performances. Our priority is building strong, reliable movement foundations that serve as the cornerstone for developing powerful, skilled, and resilient athletes.

Strength & Robustness | for physicality and injury prevention

We believe availability is the greatest ability. When junior athletes lack strength, injury becomes inevitable. It’s basic biomechanics—when tissues like tendons, ligaments, bones, and muscles can’t withstand the demands of sport, they break down. Developing strength builds resilience, protecting athletes from injury and providing a crucial advantage.

Plyometric Training | For Power & force development

Many adolescents struggle with producing explosive power, so when a powerful athlete emerges, they truly stand out. Plyometrics offers an effective way to enhance power output safely and progressively, helping young athletes excel on the field while supporting their physical development.

Speed & Agility Training | for elite athleticism

Most junior athletes are never formally taught how to run—it’s simply something they do naturally. As a result, there are often significant differences in speed and agility between athletes. While genetics play a role, we can enhance running efficiency and refine mechanics to help them reach their full potential.

As a soccer player training here for around 8 months, I’ve had a wonderful experience. The top-of-the-line facilities, attentive instruction, and personalized training plans took me from being constantly injured for years to putting in physical performances I am proud of.

Amazing gym and trainers! Performance dynamics gym is an unreal facility, full weight gym, conditioning suite and full access to the recovery room, athletes dream ! Brian and his team have been brilliant since I joined the gym, fully individualised programme and coaching for every session but also allowing you to train with other like minded people creating a competitive but really friendly atmosphere. My performances on the field have definitely gone up since training with Brian and his team! Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to improve their athleticism and overall fitness !

I got recommend to got to Brian through a close friend in February 22 and his coaching has been top class over the past 6 months, I went to him to get in the shape I wanted for my wedding. The workouts all have a clear purpose and great variety that provide the results if you follow his instructions. Brian is very diligent and I have found the best aspect of the coaching to be his focus on form/technique and providing a good base to improve upon. I have been a consistent gym goer over the last 10+ years and I can easily say that Brian has provided coaching and form correction tips that I have never received from PTs before (plus this was all remote with no physical face to face session). The sessions are brilliant, never get stale and there is a great balance and variety to keep you interested. I would highly recommend Brian if you’re looking for someone to lead you in the right direction.

Been working with Brian while living abroad to achieve my S&C goals while away from sport. Brian is very helpful and detailed with his approach. Always finds solution to any problems I face that clash with my plan. I would definitely recommend Brain to anyone who wants to either start or enhance their fitness journey to the next level.

Here's How We Build
CONFIDENT ATHLETES

01

Building a Tailored Playbook for Success

Our comprehensive performance testing provides a clear roadmap for each youth athlete’s long-term success. By the end of the testing session, we’ll have a precise understanding of what they need to enhance their athleticism and excel in their sport.

02

Personalised Programs Designed Around Your Schedule

We create customised training programs using our proven systems, tailored to each athlete’s unique needs and schedule. Whether it’s strength training, speed development, or recovery sessions, everything is seamlessly coordinated to fit into their busy schedules, making it simple for parents to support their progress.

03

Expert Supervision, Every Step of the Way

Our small-squad training model ensures every athlete receives attentive, expert supervision. Whether they’re building strength and power in the gym, enhancing speed on the field, or recovering from an injury, our experienced coaches provide unwavering guidance and support.

04

Top-Level Coaching You Can Trust

Every session your child completes is overseen by some of the most skilled coaches in the country, with experience working in professional sport alongside elite athletes. You can feel confident knowing their training is in the hands of experts dedicated to their success.

The Gym That
Supports
Young Athletes

We know youth athletes need more than a standard gym environment to thrive. While mainstream gyms suit general fitness, they rarely address the specific needs of developing athletes during this crucial phase of their journey. That’s why we’ve created a training space that prioritises their growth, progress, and enjoyment.

Our gym provides a safe, encouraging, and motivating environment where young athletes can build strength, speed, power, and resilience. Our coaching focuses on age-appropriate training methods that emphasise injury prevention, skill development, and building confidence—both physically and mentally.

We understand that parents want their child to feel supported and inspired by expert coaches who genuinely care about their progress. Every session is designed to be engaging, helping athletes fall in love with the process of improvement and develop a passion for training that lasts a lifetime.

Surrounded by like-minded peers and guided by experienced coaches, young athletes are empowered to enjoy their progress, build resilience, and strive for excellence. Our athlete-focused approach ensures your child is equipped to succeed—today, and in every step of their journey ahead.

Get Started

MEET OUR HEAD COACH

I’m Brian Flaherty, I founded Performance Dynamics out of a love for sports and exercise science, and a desire to make great training available to everyone.

After completing a degree in sports science and a masters in strength and conditioning, I found myself working with athletes and individuals who wanted exceptional results.

I quickly learned that when things are overcomplicated, they don’t work. When you apply the same logic to everyone, they don’t progress. When you don’t measure your desired outcomes, they don’t happen.

What does work, is accurately measuring what you want to improve, simplifying that information to make it actionable, and applying it to the individual at their appropriate level.

I set about creating systems and structures that make this process simple, and Performance Dynamics was born.

Since then, I have worked with Castleknock College SCT, Monkstown Rugby Club, St. Jude’s GAA and hundreds of private athletes and individuals to improve performance and achieve desired outcomes.

How it works

CAN YOU AFFORD
TO WAIT?

  • You Only Have A Small Window Of Opportunity

    Sports can be very fickle, careers can be ended in a moment with zero notice. The window of opportunity for development is small and needs to be maximised at every possible opportunity. The perfect time doesn’t exist, and waiting on it is only an unnecessary barrier to progress. Maximise every opportunity, in every season.

  • The More You Put In The Less You Get Back

    It’s common knowledge that relying solely on your sport to improve performance can lead to diminished returns. The more you invest your time in your sport, the less you’ll get back in terms of improvement. You have to diversify your training and work on your athletic performance off the field. You’ll see a much faster and more significant return for your hard work.
