Welcome to E1

The Elite 1% Performance Academy

Kia ora, I'm Coach Emma.

Welcome to The Elite 1% Performance Academy.

I created this academy to help athletes become the best version of themselves—not just in sport, but in life. My mission is to serve our people, whānau, and community by providing personalised coaching that develops performance, confidence, resilience, and lifelong healthy habits.

Every athlete is unique, so every programme is too. At The Elite 1% Performance Academy, there are no generic training plans or copy-and-paste programmes. Everything is individually designed using evidence-based training principles while considering your goals, lifestyle, available equipment, training environment, and recovery needs.

Drawing on experience across multiple sports, ongoing professional development, and guidance from world-class mentors, I have developed the E1 Method—a complete athlete development system focused on speed, strength, movement quality, mindset, recovery, nutrition, and accountability. Athletes also receive access to the E1 Manual, providing education and practical strategies to support their journey outside of training.

Whether you're taking your first steps into sport or striving to compete at the highest level, this academy is open to athletes of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds. My goal is to provide the knowledge, support, and structure you need to unlock your full potential.

At The Elite 1% Performance Academy, success is built through commitment. When coach and athlete both give 100%, results follow.

No shortcuts. No excuses. Just purposeful work, consistent progress, and the pursuit of excellence.
