Beginner training plan
Your first lessonWhen I work with a beginner, my focus is on teaching, not testing. I start by getting to know the athlete, their goals, confidence level, and how they learn best. From there, we build a foundation through movement, footwork, and body control while keeping things simple and positive. My approach follows the LTAD model, which means I focus on long-term growth, not quick fixes. Every first session is about setting the tone, building trust, effort, and discipline that athletes can carry into every stage of their development.
Lesson 11+In the later lessons, athletes move from learning to mastering. Training becomes more refined and game-focused, with an emphasis on confidence, consistency, and emotional discipline. At this point, players begin to think, move, and compete like true athletes, focused, accountable, and in control of their game.
Lesson 4-10By lessons four through ten, athletes start putting everything together. We build on fundamentals with more game-like drills, faster decision-making, and controlled competition. This stage is all about growth, turning mechanics into instincts, effort into confidence, and discipline into performance.
Lesson 2-3By the second and third lessons, athletes start building confidence through consistency. We move from basic fundamentals into position-specific skills, controlled competition, and game-like situations. The focus is on progress, not perfection, helping athletes understand why we train a certain way while developing discipline, control, and confidence in their movements.
