Beginner training plan
Your first lessonTo start off, I always evaluate what a player can and can’t do through observation and assessment. I also make it a priority to have a conversation with the player to understand their own perspective on their game and identify what they feel they need to work on. This helps build trust and ensures that our training is aligned with both their personal goals and their developmental needs.
Lesson 2-3We start with working on things we spoke about, from basic stuff to more advanced how we progress with our skills.
