With advanced athletes, the first lesson begins with an evaluation of current skill level, movement efficiency, and position-specific technique. We run a structured warm-up followed by timed/graded drills (footwork, speed transitions, ball skills, or hand combat depending on position). I identify strengths, weaknesses, and performance gaps, then establish individualized goals and expectations. The session ends with high-tempo competitive reps to assess football IQ, reaction time, and conditioning.
Lessons 4–10 build mastery through speed, complexity, and competition. Athletes train situational football—down and distance, formation adjustments, disguise, blitz/fit responsibility, and play recognition under pressure. Drills progress into multi-step combos (release + stem + catch, pass-rush counter chains, coverage transition work, OL hand/anchor sequences). We integrate 1v1s, 2v2s, and small-group competitions to simulate game tempo. Strength, power, and conditioning circuits are added to elevate overall performance and durability.
Lessons 2–3 focus on refining technique and increasing demand. Athletes work through high-intensity movement patterns, advanced footwork ladders, stance/alignment checks, and position-specific drill progressions. We introduce more complex reads—coverage recognition, leverage adjustments, route manipulation, blocking schemes, or pass-rush counters depending on their role. Workouts include performance metrics (speed, burst, hip fluidity, hand timing), and athletes receive feedback aimed at eliminating inefficiencies and sharpening execution.
