I’m Jhon Guarin the owner and private coach of Radix Soccer Training; my vision is to help soccer players gain their edge in the field by providing individual training that focuses on improving their technical, tactical and physical attributes. My mission: To improve the game, one player at a time. The idea of creating Radix Soccer Training came from looking at the amount of players that at the youth, High School and College level grow up learning the game but not perfecting their skills or improving their weaknesses. In order to be a great soccer player this 5 attributes must be in effect:
1.Technique
2. Mindset
3. Game Intelligence
4. Team Player
5.Physique
My goal is to help players achieve the next level and in order to do so they
Any durable coaching process must contain three elements: managing expectations (the game plan), monitoring performance (watching the play), and giving feedback (time out). Expectations must be agreed upon both in output terms and in terms of the behaviours demanded. The criteria for success must be specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time bounded. (S.M.A.R.T.).
The order of these exercises on the specific days were chosen in the most logical manner to start the week off with a more intense load and end on Friday with a light day to prepare for a weekend game. Each exercise reflects a component or mimics a movement used by the soccer goalie during a game.
Over the years, playing soccer has taught me what it takes to succeed. From months of tough practices, I have gained a hard work ethic. From my coaches and fellow teammates, I have learned to work well with others in a group, as it is necessary to cooperate with teammates on the playing field. But most important, I have also gained self-confidence. If I fail, it doesn't' t matter if they mock or ridicule me; I will simply try again and do it better. I realize that it is necessary to risk failure in order to gain success. The
I started playing soccer when I was eight years old. I was first introduced to soccer at a YMCA day camp and fell in love with it instantly. This camp played soccer a bit differently they had all the same rules and regulations, but played it on black top. I immediately wanted to dive into the sport and learn everything I could about it. I was taught soccer by being shown how to do it at a league called NASA (National American Soccer Association). Here I was taught all the parts that make up soccer and how to use the right techniques to make mold me into how I play today.
A large number of people in this world often assume that only natural athletes become admirable athletes. When in reality, the utmost idle individual can become an exceptional athlete with the aid of hard work, dedication, and practice. The changes don't all have to happen at once. Small-scale steps could be taken to become a star athlete. For example, becoming a star soccer player could begin with simply practicing ball control. That being forenamed, an average teenager can become their schools most powerful, sturdy forward on the varsity soccer team by practicing ball control as their first step.
Physical fitness will be one of the most important aspects of soccer performance. A soccer player has to be very agile, quick, strong and coordinated. Many people compare a soccer player to another athlete to see if they both share the same attributes, but in most cases a soccer player’s physical fitness will be in top notch compared to any other athlete. Another important aspect of a soccer player will be the mental strength. A soccer player must have the ability to make an impact, commitment to improve, play making skills, understanding the game and most importantly the right attitude towards the game.
“Practice makes Perfect” Soccer is a sport that requires hours and hours of practice in order to obtain the technique need to play at a high level, making the game much more enjoyable to watch and to play. In the article “What Video Games Have to Teach Us”, the author James Paul Gee explains how “Good games operate at the outer and growing edge of a player’s competence, remaining challenging, but do-able…Since games are often challenging, but do-able, they are often also pleasingly frustrating, which is a very motivating state for human beings” (4). When this thought is compared to soccer it can be noticed that soccer is one of the most technique needed sports, every single thing that is done on the field whether its dribbling, passing, shooting,
Everyone in their lives has low points, but the best way to get through them is me not giving up. This story represents a perfect example of that, therefore, this story is for everyone having a bad time.
What are the basics? Anyone can study something about anything if they understand the fundamentals of what it is. Why would you play a game for 90 minutes with barely any reward other than maybe 2 or 3 goals the whole game? In order to play this game, it takes discipline, if you were to mess up numerous times throughout the game, it could be the difference in winning or losing just similar to any other sports game.
The game of circle ball consists of a lot of short explosive bursts of energy. For example, sprinting to defend or jumping up to catch the ball. It is a team game but I am going to look at how I can improve an individual’s performance as a defender. Within the game of circle ball there are many demanding factors an individual has to cope with, these being your psychological and physiological state, nutrition and biomechanics. I will produce a needs analysis by taking one major part of each factor so it is more in depth and I can get the best out of the performer in each area. I will also be including a range of academic literature and scientific evidence to back up my opinions and theories. The needs analysis will be in action after the first
The Social-Reinforcement analysis was based on a high school boys’ soccer team. The ages of the players ranged from 15-18 years and despite of the age difference everyone appeared to have similar abilities and skills, which consisted of dribbling and stopping the ball, as well as having a modest speed to make passes. The focus of the practice session observed was playing out. In the session, players were coached on how to make passes and how to communicate during those passes. In addition, the coach focused on creating a game environment by having parents observe the practice and have the players compete against each other to find areas of improvement on each player.
Today was a great opportunity to shadow and be further educated on performance training. Today at my internship, I observed sport performance coaching as well as was educated on the principles of performance coaching. Before prepping for the College Prep class, all the interns met with the supervisor of Athletes Arbor to go over what do performance coaches do and why they do what they do. From this meeting, I learned that performance coaches are movement coaches. They focus on making their athletes faster, stronger, and more explosive opposed to a strength and conditioning coach who focuses more on building an athlete's strength as well as conditioning their athletes to get in shape for their season.

Scoring a goal in soccer can be very intense and complexed, but it can also be unquestionably frustrating and troublesome. It takes a timing, skill, practice, and teamwork. Some people say that practice is the most important; however, I feel that teamwork is the most important of all traits. It can be time consuming to fit together as a team, practicing with each other is the only way to glue everyone together. The fall of 2014, I signed up for soccer and played as a member of Mrs. Jacquie’s team. We would practice, coordinate, and play soccer games together.
