The Logan Performance Group Pre-Season Expedition is crafted as a preseason leadership, team-building, and resilience training camp that sets a strong foundation for individual and team success in the upcoming season. Developed by seasoned ex-professional athletes, human performance specialists, and experts in medical, survival, and military fields, this course goes beyond traditional preseason training concepts. It immerses athletes in a purpose-driven, transformative experience that strengthens how the team understands, respects, and communicates with each other from the top down.

 

Staged in the rugged backcountry mountains between Queenstown and Wanaka, our team expedition spans between 6 and 72 hours, offering a bespoke, adaptable experience tailored to meet each team’s specific needs. The mountainous environment intensifies the experience, adding a unique layer of mental and physical challenge that builds resilience and unity.

​

Throughout every phase of the course, the athlete's health, safety, and injury prevention are top priorities. Each challenge is meticulously coordinated with input from the team’s training staff to ensure alignment with preseason conditioning objectives. Every second is purposeful, with each challenge specifically designed to prepare the team for the season ahead.

 

Uniting Athletes, Coaches, and Support Staff

This is not just a training camp; it’s a crucible where athletes, coaches, and support staff unite in a shared, high-tempo environment. Our expedition is engineered to forge an unbreakable sense of brotherhood and mutual trust, pushing the team beyond their known mental and physical limits. We aim to create new reference points of performance, allowing the team to look back and say, “We made it through that expedition, and these are the tools we used to do so.”

 

By facing unfamiliar challenges that demand high levels of leadership, communication, and teamwork, athletes develop resilience and strategies that amplify their performance on the field and throughout the season. This expedition resets mental, physical, and team-based thresholds, giving the team a new foundation for unity, communication, and problem-solving. The experience shifts mindsets, removes perceived limitations, and instills a steadfast confidence that endures through the season.

 

Achieving the highest levels in professional sports requires a relentless focus on sport-specific fundamentals. However, this focus can sometimes limit the incorporation of new performance strategies. Our expedition offers teams an opportunity to step outside routine training, breaking down mental barriers and expanding perspectives. By exposing the team to a level of mental and physical stress akin to peak performance demands, we build resilience in new ways, reinforcing and strengthening each player’s responses in their usual competitive setting.

 

Our expeditions are grounded in the transformative power of adversity and challenge. Given the high levels of physical and mental resilience our teams and athletes bring with them, our expeditions are purposefully designed to offer a high degree of difficulty, ensuring the individuals and the collective team have the chance to grow and adapt. Every challenge within the course is structured around a continuous, survival-based scenario. Athletes and teams tackle demanding tasks such as cold water immersion, medical drills, stretcher carries, shelter construction, survival-oriented problem-solving, hiking, traversing, navigation and more, all within strict time constraints and rugged conditions. Guiding teams through these challenges, we cultivate resilience and skills that directly support their success in the upcoming season.

 

In partnership with our trusted local providers, we offer full-service accommodation, transportation, catering, and conference facilities. This integration allows management and support staff to participate in the expedition while addressing strategic preseason objectives. With professional photographers and videographers capturing each challenge and milestone, teams leave with a powerful story they can reflect on and draw inspiration from throughout the season.

 

We understand that professional teams already have high-performance strategies to excel in their sport. Our expedition is not about reinventing the wheel—it’s about sharpening the sword.
