Objective: Understand the player’s current technical level, physical sharpness, and tactical awareness.
This session is faster, more intense, and more demanding than a beginner baseline.
I evaluate:
Technical
• First-touch under pressure
• Weak-foot reliability
• Dribbling speed + tight control
• Shooting mechanics (laces + finesse)
• Long passing + driven ball technique
Physical
• Acceleration mechanics
• Change of direction
• Agility and balance
• Anaerobic capacity with ball
Tactical awareness
• Movement off the ball
• Decision-making
• Timing of runs
• 1v1 attacking & defending approach
Goal:
Build a training blueprint tailored to the player’s position, weaknesses, and objectives (club, high school, college, semi-pro).
Objective: Build a complete, intelligent, positionally aware player ready for high-level environments.
This is long-term development.

• Building out of the back
• Final third patterns
• Switching point of attack
• Late-arrival finishing
2. Advanced Finishing
• One-touch finishing under fatigue
• Weak-foot power
• Volley and half-volley technique
• Finishing from angles
3. Ball-Striking Mastery
• Driven balls
• Diagonal switches
• Low driven crosses
• Long-range accuracy
4. Strength & Injury Prevention
Paired with their normal gym work or team training:
• Isometrics
• Ankles / knees / hips stabilization
• Acceleration mechanics
• Agility form
5. Professional Habits
• Training focus
• Film review
• Recovery protocol
• Mental resilience
6. Match Analysis (Optional)
If the player provides match footage:
• Positioning review
• Decision-making feedback
• Movement suggestions
• Habits to build or remove
Goal:
Turn an advanced player into a player who can dominate their position, think faster, move smarter, and perform repeatedly at a high level.
Objective: Train players like athletes aiming for college, UPSL, NPSL, DA, ECNL, or pro academies.
These sessions focus heavily on decision-making, speed, strength, and match realism.
1. Position-Specific Training
Tailored to the player’s role:
• Wingers: 1v1 moves, crossing, cutting inside & finishing
• Strikers: runs, finishing patterns, hold-up play
• Mids: scanning, receiving in pressure, switching play
• Defenders: body shape, jockeying, long balls, passing lanes
• Outside backs: overlaps, early crosses, recovery runs
2. Game-Speed Drills
• Small-sided patterns
• Transition drills (attack → defense → attack)
• Breaking lines with one-touch combinations
• Pressure-to-goal finishing
3. 1v1 & 2v2 Scenarios
• Reading body cues
• Angle of approach
• Eliminating defenders
• Winning duels cleanly
4. High-Intensity Conditioning with the Ball
• Speed endurance
• Multi-direction quickness
• Explosive acceleration
• Repeat sprint ability
5. Mental & Tactical IQ Training
• When to dribble vs pass
• When to release vs carry
• Recognizing space
• Timing runs / timing passes
• Scanning habits
Goal:
Make the player faster in their mind, sharper in their technique, and more effective in real matches.
Objective: Clean up inefficiencies and tighten their execution.
These sessions focus on high-rep, high-intensity, high-quality work.
1. Advanced Ball Mastery
• High-tempo footwork
• Tight-space control

3. Dribbling with Purpose
• Change of pace
• Explosive first step
• Feints + disguise
4. Finishing & Striking Cleanup
• Power striking
• Curled finishes
• Weak-foot finishing
• One-touch finishing sequences
Goal:
Remove bad habits, speed up execution, and build consistency in high-speed situations.
