In-person clinic sessions for Melbourne families. Mick works directly with your child, identifies the movement patterns behind their performance and confidence blocks, and gives you a clear framework for what to do next.

SEE IT FOR YOURSELF
These aren't highlight reels. Each clip shows a child before and after working with Mick — same session, same day.
This is what a single clinic session can unlock. Most parents say they saw a shift they hadn't seen in months of sport — in under an hour. Limited spots available each month.
Most parents arrive not quite sure what to expect. Here's exactly how it works.
Movement Assessment
Mick watches your child move — running, balancing, posture under load. He's not just looking at their feet. He's reading the whole picture: where they compensate, where they hesitate, where their body tells a different story to what they say about themselves. You'll see things you've never noticed before.
We don't just identify problems — we start fixing them in the session. Your child feels the difference immediately. That moment when something clicks in their body? That's not just a physical shift. Watch their face. That's confidence being built in real time.
You don't watch from a waiting room. You're in the session, and at the end Mick walks you through exactly what he found, what it means, and how you can continue the work at home. You leave with a clear picture, not vague reassurance.
For most families, the clinic reveals that there's more work to do — and a clear direction for how to do it. Many choose to continue into Built From The Ground Up, our 7-week flagship program. If they do, the clinic fee is credited toward enrolment. Nothing is wasted.
The clinic covers all seven movement standards in a single compressed session. It's a powerful starting point — but one session isn't transformation. It's a diagnosis and a direction.
For families ready to go deeper, Built From The Ground Up is the 7-week program that takes everything identified in the clinic and builds it systematically — with parent coaching videos, breathwork tools, confidence tracking, and a framework you own for life.
Your clinic fee is credited toward BFTGU enrolment. The session isn't a cost — it's a down payment on the full transformation.

For most families, BFTGU delivers more — broader scope, parent education, lifetime tools — at a lower investment than 8 in-person sessions. The clinic is the best starting point. The program is where the transformation happens.
If you move into Built From The Ground Up after your clinic sessions, your clinic investment is credited toward your BFTGU enrolment. The clinic is the starting point — not a separate cost on top of the program.

COMMON QUESTIONS
CrossFit Soul Rebel, 3/8 Theobald Street, Thornbury. You'll receive a confirmation with exact timing once booked.
How many sessions does my child need?
Most families see a meaningful shift in a single session — enough to understand the problem clearly and have tools to start working on it. For lasting technique transformation, 4 sessions is the typical turning point. Athletes with injury history or competitive goals benefit most from the full 8-session package.
What if my child is injured?
The clinic is particularly valuable for recurring injuries — because most recurring injuries in young athletes have a movement pattern at the root, not just a tissue problem. Please note any injuries when booking and Mick will structure the session accordingly.
Can I combine in-person sessions with an online program?
Yes — and this is the most powerful combination. The clinic gives you an accurate diagnosis and the felt experience of correct movement. Built From The Ground Up gives you the systematic 7-week framework to lock it in. Many families use 1–2 clinic sessions as the entry point, then transition to BFTGU with their clinic fee credited.
My child isn't a runner — will this still help?
Yes. Running mechanics are the foundation of all athletic movement. Football, basketball, netball, cricket — what we identify and fix in the clinic transfers across everything your child plays.
What's the difference between a clinic session and Built From The Ground Up?
The clinic is a diagnosis — one compressed session covering all seven movement standards, face-to-face with Mick. BFTGU is the full transformation — a 7-week program with parent coaching, breathwork tools, confidence tracking, and lifetime access. Most families start with the clinic and continue into BFTGU with their session fee credited.
