Core Football Elite
Create Yourself | Established 2021
Australia’s premier environment for ambitious footballers – fusing technical excellence, mindset, and conditioning to accelerate development on and off the pitch.
Formative Stages
Founded in 2021 by semi‑professional footballer Paul O’Brien, Core Football Elite was created to provide an environment where players discover their potential, enhance well‑being, and strive for consistent high performance.
With 25 years of experience across multiple states and countries, Paul understands the demands of elite football. Core Football gives aspiring athletes access to high‑performance training with a strong emphasis on technical ability, mindset, and discipline.
Strength & Conditioning Expansion
In 2022, we launched Core Strength & Conditioning to improve athletes’ strength, fitness, and performance – ensuring players develop physically and mentally for long‑term success.
Core Elite Training Program
As Core Football grew, Max Wragg joined the team, helping establish the Core Elite Training Program – the foundation of Core Football and Core Strength & Conditioning – integrating football development, physical conditioning, and personal growth.
