The weekend games are nearing completion for our players and its back to the training ground to further refine their skills in preparation for next week.

Here a SWPL midfielder and youth international works on attacking combinations and snapshot finishing. Looking at sharp turns and combos around the perimeter of the box with quick angled finishes building to a match tempo.....not too dissimilar to Mr Messi yesterday!

Life is easy when you are working with a top player, that has the drive to improve even further.

Back on the pitch in a weeks time and cannot wait to get back out on the grass with our players.

However It's not just on pitch work that creates a professional player, you must study the game.
At we regularly conduct match, team and player analysis reports for clients, as well as opposition reports for clubs.

This gives a massive developmental advantage for individuals zoning in on specific areas of improvement and providing the tools with which to measure progress.

For groups this gives an opportunity to analyse in depth unit areas of improvement or to identify strengths and weaknesses within opposition, meaning you can prepare in the most professional way possible!

No, I do not get tired of watching games, much to Megan's dismay.

Return to the pitch is less than two weeks away now! In the meantime , the courses keep on coming as continue to develop to provide our clients with the best possible services and advice.

This evening it is the Scottish Football Association Talent ID Award. This course explores the importance of player analysis frameworks plus the building , deploying and reviewing of these frameworks within professional recruitment programmes.

Successful completion after examination will grant access to the new the new Talent ID License, the highest available qualification in this field.

Looking forward to the next step this evening with great tutors and colleagues.

A change in system or position can mean a change in demands and intensity for a player. At we are perfectly placed to help them adapt & grow into & with this process.

Here is one of our professional players who is looking to do just that by improving sharpness on and off the ball, adapting to increased demands to push his game to another level. He is looking to improve speed and technical endurance to ensure he can still produce at a high level in the last 30 minutes of games.

Working a technical burst track designed for winger functions, we look at punch pass with game realistic movements, positive receptions then providing width to finish , cut in to combine and then ending with a burst in finish.

At 60 seconds here , we want to get that down to 45 seconds going at a match tempo with no drop in quality. 45 second break and then go again! Hard work but it has to be done!

I am edging ever closer to returning to the pitch to create new content with our awesome young players but in the meantime here is more great work from two of our young girls!

Here our young star works between 4 diagonal gates, looking at the early basics of angles to receive, a directional touch followed by a side by side skill and turn before return pass! After 4 attempts we transition to a 1 v 1 scenario with a recovering defender before swapping rolls!

Great work from both and always fun to practice with a friend or team mate , adding that competition element! Well done girls.

At 11am today we stopped to remember the men & woman who sacrificed and continue to sacrifice at home and abroad for the freedoms we take for granted. Thank You.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Start Of Nutritional Challenge & Journey - Read Below

Over the past 15 months I have been struggling with a partially slipped & bulging disk on my back which has prevented me from being mobile and from training. With operation now complete I am on road to recovery but wont be able to train in gym until mid January. As a result I have gained weight which effects performance & confidence.

When I played professionally I had to work hard to keep my weight at an elite playing level as I do not have a body that handles what would be considered a "normal British diet" well! Not everyone has a furnace for a metabolism and it can be a struggle!

At the end of my playing days and now as a coach, nutrition became more and more prevalent in the game and is now a mainstay of elite performance, something I could not believe in more.

When younger I prided myself on fitness and I want to demonstrate the impact solely of nutrition to our clients looking to make it at the highest level they can. I am going back to my old playing diet regime (rundown below) without any training (only walking) to show the impact that diet alone can have.

Long Story Short Plan -
YES - Vegetables, Fruits , Grains , White Meat , Fish , Water(Squash Allowed) , Teas
NO - Anything containing Refined Sugar , Processed Foods, Fizzy Liquids , Fruit Juices
Monday - Friday = Full Dedication
Saturday - Anything Goes
Sunday - Moderate

During the next three months I will chart my meals , weight progress with pictures (wont expose the gruesome pictures yet, leave that to the end) and routines. I am a below average cook and will show it can be done , highlighting the impact good nutrition alone has on your body. When we hit mid January then I will return to training on top of the diet plan to show then the acceleration training adds to the process.

When playing I was also lucky enough to be given some nutritional aids by clubs, these are now readily available to the public and as part of this process I am including them in the plan to be as close to the same pro diet regime I had (picture attached).

I will give basic update of progress for all to see via our website blog and social media channels every few weeks with our block clients having access to public update but privately all the nutritional data , plans and then football specific exercises via email.

Im sure there will be bumps as for everyone but I look forward to showing the impact on the body and just how proper nutrition can give you that extra edge in performance and health!

Wish me luck and the cat is optional but highly recommended!

Midweeks are for European football , executing skills and scoring goals under the lights, so here is a clip of one our budding young stars doing just that!

Looking at the basics of receiving on the move at the angle then shifting his body weight and playing a one two with an out to in run before zoning in on our coaching points on final reception and finish!

This young man has been going from strength to strength! Always listens to his coaching points with a smile on his face!
