Beginner training plan
Your first lessonThis session is all about introductions, expectations, and laying the foundation. I take time to get to know the athlete position, experience level, goals, and mindset. Build a plan to attack the process required to achieve the set goals.
We focus on core football fundamentals:
- Proper stance & body position
- Position specific hand placement
- Footwork and movement patterns
- Coordination, and balance
- Competitive mentality and effort standard
We’ll start with controlled drills then progress to football-specific reps. I’ll be very vocal during this session and explaining what we’re doing, why it matters, and why it is important early on and how translates directly to the field.
This session sets the tone for everything that follows.
Lesson 11+Athletes are expected to move fast, compete hard, and execute under fatigue, just like on game day.
Training includes:
- Advanced ball skills
- Reaction and decision-making drills
- Conditioning through football movements
- Competitive games and point systems
- Strategy, awareness, and situational reps
These sessions are higher intensity environments parents may be asked to lend a hand with a few mental challenges.
Lesson 4-10As athletes progress, training becomes more detailed and position-aware. Athletes will learn the essential fundamentals and core skills required to succeed at their position.
Examples:
- Defensive Backs: Press/Off man, Transitions, Eyes
- Wide Receivers: Stance, Footwork, Releases, Stems
- Linebackers: Step, scrape, read progression
- Running Backs: Handoffs, Cuts, Ball security
These sessions build the technical foundation for every athletes fundamental need before advancing.
