TrainingXV Session Plan

Every TrainingXV session is designed around one goal: helping players develop the technical ability, confidence, and decision-making needed to perform at the highest level possible.

No two players are the same, so every session is tailored to the athlete’s age, experience, position, and personal goals.

Session Structure

1. Dynamic Warm-Up (5–10minutes)

* Injury prevention and mobility
* Agility, balance, and coordination
* Ball mastery to get comfortable on the ball immediately

2. Technical Development (20–30 minutes)
Players work on the core skills needed to succeed in matches, including:

* First touch
* Passing and receiving
* Dribbling and ball control
* Turning under pressure
* Finishing and shooting technique
* Weak foot development

3. Position-Specific Training (15–20 minutes)
Sessions become more specialized based on the player’s position:

* Forwards: finishing, movement, creating space
* Midfielders: scanning, passing combinations, receiving under pressure
* Defenders: tackling, positioning, defending 1v1 situations
* Goalkeepers (by request): handling, footwork, distribution, shot stopping

4. Game-Realistic Scenarios (15–20 minutes)
Players apply their skills in match-like situations that improve:

* Decision making
* Speed of play
* Composure under pressure
* Attacking and defending transitions

5. Conditioning With the Ball (5–10 minutes)
Fitness is developed through soccer-specific exercises that improve:

* Speed
* Acceleration
* Endurance
* Explosiveness
* Change of direction

6. Review & Player Feedback (5-10 Min after sessions)
Every session ends with:

* A review of key improvements
* Areas to continue working on
* Optional at-home exercises to accelerate development between sessions

My Coaching Philosophy

I believe repetition creates confidence, but purposeful repetition creates elite players.

As an ex-Everton Academy player, I’ve experienced a professional development environment and bring those standards into every session. My coaching focuses on building technically gifted, intelligent, and confident footballers who can perform under pressure.

Whether your goal is to make a school team, earn an academy opportunity, receive college interest, or compete at the next level, every session is designed to move you closer to that goal.

What Players Can Expect

* Individual coaching tailored to their needs
* High-energy, professional environment
* Hundreds of quality repetitions every session
* Match-realistic training exercises
* Constructive feedback throughout
* Clear development plan from session to session

Development doesn’t happen by chance—it happens through consistent, focused training. My goal is to ensure every player leaves each session better than when they arrived.
