Why skaters stop progressing

Talent isn't enough at the top

Most skaters rely on talent and just skating. At the highest level that isn't enough. The difference between good skaters and world-class athletes comes down to:

Structure
Consistency
Strategy
Preparation

Without a system, progression slows down and competitions become unpredictable. That's why we built LVLUP Performance Coaching.

The LVLUP method

Learn it. Train it. Test it.

The same standards our Academy athletes train to, every day, wherever you skate.

80%

The 80% standard

A trick isn't yours until you land it 8 out of 10 times. That's when it's banked and ready for a contest run.

Three buckets

Every trick sits in a bucket, and every session moves tricks up toward banked.

A plan built for you

No templates. Your coach builds your program from three things, then splits it into blocks, each with a clear gate you have to pass to move on.

Example program

01
Your tricks nowYour full trick inventory and 20-trick list, filmed and logged in your baseline weeks.
02
Your goal eventThe contest you're peaking for, and what it takes to make the podium there.
03
Your parkThe ramps and obstacles you actually skate, so every session fits your spot.

How it works

From first call to contest day

01

Free 30-minute call

Meet the coach. We talk about where your skating is now, where you want to take it, and whether LVLUP is the right fit.

02

Your baseline

We film and log what you can do today: your trick inventory, your 20-trick list and the parks you skate.

03

Your program

A program in Coach HQ built from your tricks now, your goal event and the obstacles at your park, in blocks with clear targets.

04

Train and log

Do your sessions, log your tricks and your check-in, and send clips. Your coach reviews them and adjusts the plan.

05

Compete with a plan

We build your contest run from your banked tricks and LVLUPLYTICS data, then review every result.

Coach HQ

FAQ

Questions

Who is online coaching for?

Competitive skateboarders, and skaters who want to compete, in park, vert, bowl and street. From first contests to national teams, World Skate events and the Olympic pathway.

What do I need?

A phone to film your sessions, a park to skate and the Coach HQ app. Your plan is built for the parks and obstacles you have.

How does the coaching work week to week?

You train your plan, log your sessions and send clips in Coach HQ. Your coach reviews them and adjusts your plan. Development to Pro includes a monthly Zoom catch-up. Elite includes direct access to Trev.

Can I train at LVLUP in person too?

Yes. Development to Pro includes discounted access to LVLUP USA (Vista, California) and LVLUP Australia, and Elite includes access to both.

I'm under 18. Can my parents see my program?

Yes. Parents are linked to your Coach HQ account so they can see your plan and your progress.

What if I get injured?

Medical decides first. Your coach adjusts your plan around your physio's advice, and you never train through pain.
