Become a world-class combat sports S&C coach — Without years of trial and error
An 8-week mentorship that turns S&C coaches into confident combat-sports practitioners—able to test, program, and make decisions under real fight-camp constraints.
Built on systems, not trends.
Led by Gav Pratt, with over 20 years at the highest level of combat sports and trusted by elite fighters and coaches worldwide.
About us
What exactly is the
Gav Pratt Mentorship?
The mentorship is a 8-week, high-level development program for strength and conditioning coaches working in combat sports who want to move beyond theory and fragmented methods and start operating with clear, repeatable performance systems. It focuses on how elite fighters are actually tested, prepared, and guided through training decisions across camps, not just on what exercises to use.
Rather than adding more information, the mentorship sharpens how you think as a coach: how to structure training, choose the right priorities, interpret data, and make confident decisions under real-world constraints.

What others say about the mentorship
better than expected!
This exceeded any expectations I came in with. Gav is an encyclopedia when it comes to improving human physiology for sport. This mentorship was extremely well played out and covered a tremendous amount of details in all areas of preparing for combat sports. Stellar work!
Jacob Meyers
problem-solving approach!
What I value most about working with you is your approach to problem-solving — particularly around scaling testing and assessments. You have been instrumental in helping me develop adaptable testing and training interventions that can be implemented effectively across different spaces and with varying equipment setups.
Jodi Wilkes
Frameworks for more efficiency!
My perspective on strength and conditioning has shifted in a very positive way. I now feel I have a clear framework to work more efficiently with my athletes, along with a much deeper understanding of energy system development.
Ben Martinez
hands-on approach & Real examples!
I really appreciated the hands on approach that Gav had with all of the members and the weekly live calls were extremely beneficial. Gav was always available for questions and he took the time to answer the questions with real world examples and evidence based responses.
Keith Moore
the best s&C mentorship!
Gav Pratt’s mentorship is the best I’ve done on the topic (and I’ve done a few). If you’re on the fence, I’d say this, the cost is a small price to get knowledge from the arguably the best at doing it. You’ll leapfrog straight to a starting point where you can feel confident what you’re doing gives your athletes the best chance in the Octagon.

This genuinly changed my career!
It genuinely changed my career. The mentorship gave me real clarity on how Strength & Conditioning for MMA actually has to be approached, not just in theory but in practice. The frameworks and way of thinking completely shifted my perspective, and everything we covered was immediately applicable to my athletes.

Frequently asked questions
Who is this mentorship for?
This mentorship is designed for strength & conditioning coaches who already work with athletes and want to specialize or level up in combat sports (MMA, boxing, Muay Thai, grappling). You don’t need to be coaching UFC athletes — but you should already be coaching and serious about mastering your craft.
Who is this not for?
This is not for beginners, personal trainers looking for general fitness education, or people searching for quick certifications without real application. If you’re not actively coaching or willing to think critically and get feedback, this program will feel uncomfortable.
What makes this different from other S&C courses?
Most courses focus on what to do. This mentorship focuses on how to think.
You’ll learn how elite coaches structure testing, programming, and decision-making across real fight camps — with live feedback, program reviews, and direct access to Gav’s framework, not pre-recorded theory alone.
Do I get a certification?
Yes. Coaches who complete the mentorship and meet the program requirements will receive a certification issued by Gav Pratt. More importantly, you’ll leave with systems you can actually defend, explain, and apply in real coaching environments.
How much time does it require each week?
Expect roughly 2–4 hours per week, including live calls, reviews, and implementation. The mentorship is built to integrate into your existing coaching workload, not replace it.
Are the calls live? What if I can’t attend?
Yes, all teaching and Q&A calls are live. If you miss a session, you’ll have access to the full recording. That said, live participation is strongly encouraged — this is where most learning happens.
Will my programs be reviewed?
Yes. Program reviews and real-world scenarios are a core part of the mentorship. You’ll receive direct feedback on your thinking, structure, and decisions — not just surface-level comments.
Does this cover testing and data without expensive technology?
Yes. A major focus is low-friction, high-signal testing — what to test, when to test, and how to actually use the data without disrupting training or relying on expensive tools.
