Ryan Ockford

I have been apart of the game for many years. I have played and competed at the highest level of soccer and also coached at some great summer camps. I have been apart of the coaching staff at Rob Ryerson Professional Soccer Camp since 2014. I have worked closely to set goals through individual player development at this camp as a coach and a counselor. I recently graduated from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas where I played and am looking to stay in the game as long as I can.

Soccer training –Technical/ tactical, passing/finishing, Formation/IQ
Nutrition plan- a suggested diet plan specific per child
Physical- strength and conditioning (speed, footwork, , reactions, agility, explosiveness,
injury prevention, etc.)
Mental strength- preparation, visualization, toughness

Each session will be an hour long. I will shape each session based off of these 4 cornerstones of the game mentioned above. It is imperative to incorporate all of these facets of the game in order to develop as a player. Each session will start with a brief warm-up, followed by a theme (passing, shooting, technical, etc.), and then a brief cool down.

Example:
Session one – warm up, ball control (dribbling, touch, heading) , agility, core work, cool
down

Session two- Warm up, passing (short and long distance), Ladders/ speed work (some
with the ball), core work, cool down, position specific formation

Session three- Warm up, shooting drills (crossing and finishing), strength and core work,
cool down.
