Beginner training plan
Your first trainingYour first lesson will be base fundamentals for your specific position. Ex. If you are a wide receiver we will do get offs, release work, and hand eye coordination drills. This is so that I can gain a comprehensive perspective of your athletic ability and potential.
Training 2-3Your second and third lesson will be more detailed oriented work. Ex. If you are a wide receiver we will work on reducing your shoulder against re routing linebackers or safeties, we will work on stemming and understanding leverage of defenders and how we will attack that.
Training 4-10Your fourth lesson plus will be a deeper understanding of the game and building off of the first three lessons. Ex. If you are a wide receiver you will be taught not only to reduce your shoulder on re routing linebackers and safeties but also be able to read man vs zone coverage and learn how to sit down in windows in the zone.
Training 11+After 11+ lessons we will continue to build off of everything that has been taught in the previous 10 lessons. We will do repetitions of everything to build muscle memory and self-critique. The goal is to get athletes to get to a point where they don’t need a trainer and they can self-critique themselves and have the knowledge to work on themselves without supervision, this takes countless hours of repetition and understanding of the game. After 10-11 lesson I also will be providing information on diet and nutrition along with information on injury rehabilitation if the athlete has a past history of injury.
Advanced training plan
Your first trainingFor an advance player, Example if you are a wide receiver, we will jump right into adjustments that happen post-snap when the coverage changes due to disguise. Learning to recognize it and then knowing how that will influence the route.
Training 2-3Example of you are a wide receiver, We will work on being Quarterback friendly coming out of routes to make passing windows more appealing to Quarterbacks while making ourselves easy targets. We will also work on blocking angles, how to approach a block as well as engaging and re-engaging to prevent holding penalties.
Training 4-10Example, If you are a wide receiver, we will focus on the fine details of footwork at the top of each route, footwork for each route changes on the angle and the depth of that route, clean footwork leads to separation, not speed. My older and more experienced players will be expected to not only master the route depth, the ability to avoid press and re-route but also the footwork in and out of breaks which is the hardest thing to do.
Training 11+Mastering body control is the final phase of great receiver play, once you’ve learned how to identify coverage, avoid press and re-routing, understand windows and spacing, making yourself Quarterback friendly, blocking angles and approach, footwork off of releases, getting in and out of breaks etc, then it just comes down to perfecting the flow of your body. Maintaining balance as well as smooth transitions of speed through acceleration and deceleration all comes down to body control which is gained by tons of reps and building muscle memory, by doing it the right way.
