After his bestselling Football Conditioning: A Modern Scientific Approach and in his role as a UEFA Pro & A Licence Educator, coaches commonly ask these 3 key questions: How do I get the best possible performances from my players? What can I change or improve to maximise my team’s performance? What gives me the best possible chance of succeeding as a coach? KEY POINT: If the daily training content is poorly planned or managed through an insufficient methodological approach, poor performance occurs with the players insufficiently conditioned and significantly higher rates of injury. Adam has now used his vast knowledge of applied football science and performance coaching to create a proven and succesful modern performance coaching methodology and has provided the answers in this book. In this book you will learn how to: Design training sessions and plan the training week (102 Practices included) Use a methodological approach and training plan to produce optimum conditioning, low injury rates, and high performance Make sure your players are always prepared correctly and perform at their maximum level on match day The Football Periodization to Maximise Performance methodology: Enhance coaches’ knowledge of high performance and coaching Improve player performance and gain a competitive advantage Maximise the training time and efficiency of the coaching process Game model: Link the technical, tactical and physical details of the game Maximising the use of specific training games and practices in the training week Show the actual demands imposed on players in training Training load management and reducing injury risk How to design training sessions Planning the flow of the training week to maximise performance Tapering strategy = players arrive in optimal condition for the match!
