Unbelievable levels!

When the standard is so high, you have to challenge the players through technique, finer detail and decision making.

Session layout:
• 1v1 arrival activity (different pitch sizes)
• Ball mastery; linking to session theme
• Duels to escape pressure / underloaded duels
• Games for understanding; all based around decision making
• Transitional duels
• Mini Tournament

Football is a game of in possession, out of possession and the transitional moment between the two. It’s so important to create a well-rounded player to train this way!

Creating scenarios where players have to make decisions, will improve game awareness, game understanding and quicken up decision making (both on and off the ball)

Excited to announce upcoming dates for the summer group training sessions.

The football seasons finished, but for those wanting extra refinement and detail to further enhance development, these sessions are for you!

More dates to follow through July/ August.

Spaces will go quickly, so please book early to avoid disappointment.

PSV Eindhoven - Study Trip 🇳🇱⚽️

A superb couple of days in Holland at the PSV Academy.
Watching U10-U17 sessions and gaining valuable insight as to why this club (have and continue to) develop technically outstanding footballers.

There were some similarities (to coaching in England), yet so many differences to their training set up and session delivery. The majority of things I hadn’t seen (much of/ any) before.

Where 1v1 has now become a staple in England at grassroots and academy level football (which is great for development), here 1v1 was only really used as a warm up, which then progressed to a 2v1/ 3v2. This seems to be a staple of PSV coaching principles.

What I’ve seen that’s so refreshing (that I haven’t seen much elsewhere) is their session delivery is based on many transitional drills, which forms a huge part of the game.
The intensity for all age groups within these drills is so high, yet the quality remains superb throughout.

From a recruitment and scouting point of view, they look for players who move well. They don’t look at the physicality of a player until U11/U12. They are more focused on the player being well balanced, has good co-ordination and shows good levels of cognitive ability….refreshing!!

Other than the on pitch sessions, there were so many people I met who were happy to talk football and player development.
• Coaches at all age groups
• Cognitive specialise coach
• New Academy Manager
• Player Liaison Officer
• Head of Grassroots Recruitment / Talent ID Centres
• Sports Scientists
• First Team Scout
• Performance Nutritionist

Overall an unbelievable experience!
On a personal level, trips like this and exposure to different professionals within the club, help me to grow and further develop myself as a coach and player developer.

Superb morning of coaching in collaboration with Birmingham County FA.

As a big advocate of 3v3 football, I started coaching 3v3 / small sided games 4 years ago.

I was delighted to be asked by our governing body to deliver a session that will form part of the new foundations for the 3v3 format. This will educate and give grassroots footballs clubs a better understanding of how to structure, scaffold and progress their teams sessions and ultimately further enhance the potential of aspiring footballers.

Off szn training
A short window of opportunity to address and correct imbalances and areas of under development.
Whether that’s from a technical or physical point of view.

My training methods combine the technical & physical elements of football specific training together.
Why?
To create a stronger, more powerful and robust footballer (not athlete) who will be more flexible and balanced throughout the whole body.
Bi-lateral technical / foot pattern development allows players to be more unpredictable and have higher levels of deception, leading to greater successful outcomes.

This isn’t generic football coaching.
Our training methods have been trusted by International, Premier League, Championship, League One and Serie A footballers over the last 10 years.

PSV Eindhoven 🇳🇱✈️⚽️

This May, I’m heading over to Holland to gain access to PSV academy and gain a valuable insight into their coaching principles and player development strategies.
One of Europes hotbeds over the last 20+ years for producing elite level footballers at both academy & first team level
Players such as:
• Ronaldo (R9)
• Memphis Depay
• Cody Gapko
• Georginio Wijnaldum
• Xavi Simons
• Dries Martins
• Noni Madueke
Have either come through the PSV academy or been signed as young first team prospects and sold on for multi million pound fees.

As a coach, it doesn’t get much better than this! A lot of their ethos around player development, producing technical players and playing smaller sided games all align with my own coaching principles.
