Beginner training plan
Your first trainingFor the first lesson if will primarily be an evaluation of how the athlete moves thru agility drills. Then we will work thru some football position specific drills. We will consult and formulate at plan to prioritize certain movements and skills.
Training 2-3We will address proper stance and mechanics at a slow teaching pace. We will rep drills at a slow pace. Third lesson we will do progressive drills and begin to increase the tempo.
Training 4-10We will continue to rep and review the skills we’ve worked. I will begin to introduce new skills. We will continue to rep skills previously learned but at a faster pace.
Training 11+Continued review and skill development. Introduction of more drills that address the same skills. Reviewing videos of drills to more efficiently correct mistakes.The pace of the drills will increase.
Youth players
Working with kidsWith the youth, I require a consistent program in order to monitor and track progress. The first session or 2 will be getting a baseline and seeing where the athlete is as far as mechanics. Then we will build a program targeting specific skills and technique. I do a lot of slow pace instruction then pick of the tempo once the athlete is comfortable with the proper movements. The workouts will be progressive so consistency is important. I attend the athlete’s games or sporting events when permitted to evaluate and give performance feedback. I also do this to build a relationship and see what needs work.
