Is a 14-week training program, focused on an intensive approach to developing the technical abilities of players, while elevating their knowledge and understanding of play.
As Johan Cruyff stated “Playing football is very simple, but playing simple football is the hardest thing there is.”
Over the past 28+ years as a coach and trainer, I have worked and developed an approach to developing young players through the team and individual training structure. My emphasis to developing players is through a holistic approach, that engages in providing players the necessary tools to play the beautiful game. The training environment aimed to establish, is that of learning without fear of mistakes, experiencing through play, challenging, clear and consistent and supportive throughout the entire process.
I believe that between the ages of 6-14 years, is where the technical, physical, and cognitive development should be set in motion for a player to have the wherewithal to play in any playing environment and thrive. Because of this belief I have been able to consistently develop players of all ages and abilities, throughout my career.
The program will focus on:
- Technical development: in areas of dribbling, passing & receiving, juggling, shooting/finishing, aerial control, to name a few.
- Psychomotor skills development: a coordinated body is an efficient body with or without the ball.
- Playing structure: through rondos, small sided games, such as 1v1, 2v1, 4v4, 5v5’s players will improve and refine their technical and tactical mastery.
- Proper mindset: embracing the effort needed towards training, being focused, respectful to the game and those around them (and self),
positive attitude, commitment to the program, while remembering that development is a process, enjoy it! - Support/Education (for both player/parent): periodically providing resources, chats about player development and what players are learning. You are part
of the Marta11 Family! - Player assessment: each player will receive an initial assessment and at conclusion of the 14 weeks.
