This ebook includes practices that develop all the attributes needed for an individual and a team, such as:

• Warm ups with and without the ball
• Football specific conditioning with the ball
• Technical and Tactical practices
• Competitive small sided games
• Attacking and defending
• The transition from defence to attack and attack to defence.

The fitness practices in this ebook are very creative and aim to replicate competitive matches, so the players get used to making quick decisions and solving problems that arise during competition.

Javier Mallo is currently a fitness coach at Real Madrid. He has previously been a fitness coach at Manchester City (2 years) and Atletico de Madrid (4 years). In this ebook, he explains how to create, organise and structure your football specific fitness training sessions. 

Fitness coaches need to have a profound knowledge of the game, as all the practices in a session have to come together in a common way of thinking related to the tactical organisation of the team. It may be possible that in the following years the term fitness coach will lose all its value and will simply be replaced by coach or assistant coach.
