Beginner training plan
Your first trainingI start by evaluating the athlete’s current skill level, movement, stance, footwork, coordination, and football knowledge. We’ll work through basic stance and starts, agility drills, and position-specific fundamentals. My goal is to identify strengths and areas for improvement while making sure the athlete feels comfortable, confident, and excited to train.
Training 2-3Now we start building the foundation. We’ll focus on proper stance, explosive first steps, footwork, balance, hand placement, body control, and position-specific fundamentals. I’ll teach athletes not only how to perform each technique, but why it works. My priority is developing great habits early so they have a strong foundation as the game gets faster and more competitive.
Training 4-10This is where fundamentals begin turning into football skills. Training progresses into reaction drills, change of direction, explosiveness, tackling fundamentals, block recognition, hand fighting, pass-rush techniques, and game-like situations based on the athlete’s position. Sessions become progressively more challenging while we continue correcting technique and tracking improvement. The goal is for parents to see a more confident, disciplined, and technically sound athlete.
Training 11+At this stage, training becomes highly individualized. We’ll identify the details separating where the athlete is now from where they want to be and attack those areas. We’ll refine technique, improve speed and explosiveness, develop football IQ, and recreate situations they’ll experience in games. Whether their goal is making a team, earning more playing time, becoming a starter, or preparing for the next level, every session will have a purpose and a clear path toward improvement.
