duda • September 3, 2025

Tell us a little bit (a lot) about yourself:

I?m 17 and am a year 11 student at SEDA College studying Intermediate VCAL and a Cert II in sport and recreation. I grew up with a basketball and cross country background but have played footy for the last 7 years with two different junior clubs. I have lived and grew up in Mornington for my whole life but recently my dad moved to Chelsea to live with my step mum. I have 2 dogs, Daisy a Greyhound and Sully a Border Collie who destroys anything you leave near him. I would love to take a gap year and travel but also have aspirations for my footy. Having a year left in my schooling i?m still deciding on what i will do when i leave school but for the moment, enjoying my sport and school COVID free. 

Why did you choose to spend 12 weeks with the Virtus family?

I chose to join the Virtus family to complete structured work placement with because i want to expand and develop more knowledge of the strength and recovery area of sport and to also build confidence in my area of sport and self-promotion. 

What do you want to be when you grow up?

I have goals of playing professional sport but also love helping people with development in their sport and recovery so have recently been looking at Sport training areas, but with covid having an effect on the last few years of school I?m not putting massive pressure on myself. 

What motivates you?

The thought of where i will be or what i will be studying in the coming years motivates me to work harder to achieve my goals

What are your strengths as a person and a coach?

I?m approachable, friendly and reliable

What are your biggest stretches as a person and a coach?

I don?t have a lot of self confidence and struggle with letting my body recover from injury. 

Favourites:

Book - I don?t read books

Movie ? How to lose a guy in 10 days or Cars 

TV Show ? Gilmore Girls 

Hobby ? Netball or listening to music

Exercise ? Rower or Pull ups

Quote - Everything happens for a reason

At Virtus Performance, everything we do, from our coaching to our programming, is built on three key foundations: Enjoyment, Consistency, and Progress. Combined with built-in feedback loops, these principles ensure constant evolution, athlete buy-in, and results that last. Humans are complex, adaptive systems, always changing and responding to our environment. At the same time, we are also simple beings. We repeat the things we enjoy and the things that help us improve. That is why these three factors sit at the heart of Virtus coaching. 1. Enjoyment: Training You Actually Want to Do If training feels like punishment, you will eventually stop. Willpower can only carry you so far. That is why at Virtus, we design world-class strength and conditioning programs that are challenging, but also fun, rewarding, and engaging. Enjoyment is fuelled by our community. You will connect with others, laugh, and celebrate wins along the way. Training becomes more than just another task. It becomes one of the best parts of your week. 2. Consistency: The Secret to Real Change The people who achieve their goals are not always the most talented. They are the ones who keep showing up. Consistency is the real secret sauce in strength and conditioning. At Virtus, we do not just coach. We educate. You will learn why the work matters, how to fit training into a busy life, and how to build habits that stick. Through accountability and support, we help you keep turning up week after week, so results compound over time. 3. Progress: Becoming More Capable Progress fuels motivation. When you can see and feel change, you want to keep going. Whether it is lifting heavier, moving better, running faster, or simply feeling stronger and more capable in your own skin, progress is what drives long-term commitment. That is why our coaching emphasises performance. With structured programs, regular testing weeks, and goal reviews, we ensure you are not just training. You are evolving. At Virtus, we believe in continual improvement. Every program includes feedback loops: testing, reflection, and goal setting that ensure your training adapts as you do. This process creates genuine athlete buy-in because you see and feel the results of your work. Our philosophy is simple. Training should help you do more of the things you love, in a stronger and more capable way. By combining Enjoyment, Consistency, and Progress with our pillars of Community, Education, and Performance, Virtus coaching sets the foundation for long-term success. That is Virtus. That is Better Every Day. Ready to dive in and experience Virtus?

To be a self transforming individual, that being someone who can observe without judgement. Detach from the result, and accept that the truth is more important than being right.

Whatever you have or don?t have, whatever goals you achieve or don?t achieve, whichever frustrations or excitements you are currently experiencing in your life, all of it, its your fault. Whoever you are, its your fault.
