Our values are shaped by the athletes we work with every day. We believe in honest assessment, patient progression, and training that respects both your injury history and your competitive goals. This page explains the principles behind our coaching decisions.
Synapse Performance exists to close the gap between generic gym programming and the specific demands of sport. Every athlete who walks in gets a movement screening first, not a workout template. We look at ankle dorsiflexion, hip hinge pattern, shoulder control, and how the body absorbs force before we decide what to load. The principle is simple: durable athletes are faster, stronger, and more available for competition. Our coaching blocks are built around training age, injury history, and the actual movements each sport requires, whether that is a cricket fast bowler's front-foot contact or a badminton player's lunge recovery.
Synapse Performance is built by coaches who have spent years on the floor, not just in the classroom. We bring a mix of competitive sport backgrounds, biomechanics study, and hands-on rehab experience to every session. This is the team that screens your movement, writes your blocks, and checks your bar speed.
Maya leads program design for cricket and athletics athletes. She spent six seasons as a strength coach with state-level sprint squads before moving into private coaching. Her focus is on building acceleration mechanics and teaching athletes how to produce force without losing joint health. She handles the initial movement screen and maps your training age against your injury history before a single barbell is loaded.
Akanksha works with overhead athletes and anyone coming back from a layoff. She has a background in physiotherapy and spent four years with a badminton academy in Pune, where she built return-to-play protocols for shoulder and ankle issues. She runs the mobility restoration blocks and teaches the recovery routines that keep training volume sustainable across a long season.
Rohan joined the team after coaching football and rugby athletes in Bengaluru. He designs the plyometric progressions and change-of-direction drills, with a strong focus on ground contact time and reactive strength. He also tracks sprint sessions on video, so athletes can see exactly where their mechanics break down instead of guessing.
Arjun supports the main coaching staff and runs the beginner barbell track. He works with new lifters on technique foundations, from hip hinge patterns to overhead positioning. His sessions are structured around small progressions and clear feedback, so athletes build confidence before they chase heavier loads.
Neha manages the data side of training. She logs session RPE, jump outputs, and bar velocity, then turns those numbers into weekly adjustments. Her reports help the coaching team decide when to push volume and when to pull back, keeping the programming honest and evidence-based.
