Introduction for Training Programme for Football
The sport I am going to do for my training programme is Football, the programme will last for 6 week. I am going to design my programme for a male aged between 15-18 playing at a high standard of football that is extremely fit. The programme will not only stretch the player physically but hopefully mentally because the drills and skills they undertake will inevitably be used in a game situation so the aim is for those skills they have learnt on the training pitch to come natural to them in a game.
I have chosen to do football because I have played at a very high standard for numerous years. I played in Crystal Palace’s academy for approximately

So there will be a weekly diet the player should keep to, weekly exercise regime and weekly training drills.
A football player covers the ground in a variety of ways: sprinting short distances, jogging, walking, shuffling and moving sideways and backwards. With this in mind, my training program will consist of more than steady state running, or basic interval training around a track, in an attempt to mimic the movement patterns of an actual game.
Football is a sport that requires a multitude of athletic abilities; I will aim to make improvements in the following to improve my game:
* Explosive acceleration and fast sprinting speed.
* Muscular endurance, so that you can run for long periods of time
* Muscular balance and high levels of neuromuscular co-ordination.
* Body awareness and agility, the ability to know where your body is, and be able to move it.
* Muscular strength, to shield the opposing player from the ball, or for making a tackle or header
· Discipline to take orders and decisions, as well as putting the team first.
* Good flexibility to avoid injury, football players are prone to poor hamstring flexibility.
* Correct balance between your quadriceps and hamstrings, as well as strength imbalances between your left and right
According to the Gotham Girls FC article, The Mental Game, “Confidence, concentration, motivation, discipline, and patience are examples of the important mental skills of soccer”(Ali). When a player is taught to concentrate on protecting the ball, shown discipline for wrong doings, and waiting for their turn to defend the ball , it creates an important mental skill in which they can become more focused. In the article, Sam Snow on the Benefits of Playing Soccer, the author states that, “They have the opportunity to develop an open mindset. They learn conflict resolution skills. They learn how to both cooperate and compete with others” (“Sam Snow on the Benefits of Playing Soccer”). A player should be taught to communicate and compete with others in the proper way to develop the basic mental skills for better social skills. When a player is on a soccer team, “They learn punctuality and responsibility. They learn how to contribute to a group. They learn communication skills and how to lead” (“Sam Snow on the Benefits of Playing Soccer”). When each soccer player is assigned a uniform and a soccer ball to take care of, they are taught how to be responsible of their own items. These are the important drills players need to know to develop the mental skills they need the right
The game of football is still in its infancy. The invention of the forward pass and its official adoption in 1906 is proof positive that fundamentally the game has room to advance. “By all accounts, the forward pass was the invention that saved the game of football after a great rugby player from Yale in the 1880s, Walter Camp, pioneered rules changes that slowly transformed rugby into the new game of American Football.” -Birth of Pro Football
Soccer you kick a soccer ball and try to make more goals than the other team.Football you have an oval shape ball with pointy sides and you have to throw the ball to someone and make a touchdown on your side and you get points.
Last spring the Poland varsity baseball team made it to the state quarterfinals, and I was lucky enough to be a part of it. Before the season started we knew that our team was going to be special. Then was the season went on we showed it. Game after game we blew teams out, twenty to nothing, fifteen to nothing, we were a juggernaut. We had every tool at our advantage, we had hitting fielding and pitching. When our hitting wasn’t doing so well our defense picked them up, and when our fielding wasn’t doing well our hitting picked them up. We were a very hard team to beat. As the regular season came to an end our record was twenty-three to two. Then playoffs came around, and that’s when we really started to hit our stride. The first game of playoffs
Due to touch football players’ not needing muscle mass, the aim of these exercises will be to gain strength and muscular endurance to aid the components of fitness of a wing. To do this, I have firstly decided to enroll a weights session into each week, instead of just one per week for the first three weeks. By doing this, there will be no time for reversibility, allowing me to grow stronger and have fitter muscles through progressive overload. I will achieve this by doing two sets for each exercise, one in the low rep range (1-5) to gain strength, and one in the high rep range (20-30) to acquire muscular endurance and cardiovascular endurance. Each two weeks I will progressively add weight to each exercise for overloading.
A Macrocycle plan was made for a Private High School flag football team; will focus on the athletes’ individual’s skills such as; strength, agility, speed and power. The importance on focusing on this these specify skills it that flag football is like American football. As an athlete that have played this sport before understands that American football is aggressive, tough, may cause extreme fugitive if not adapted it. Although that is true in flag football players don’t tackle and there fewer players in the field. Both are still harsh in our bodies that requires a lot energy. Which is important, understand how to train our athletes all year around. In our program, which follows a full year of predetermined exercises. Within the program, there’s an off-season, pre-season, in-season and post-season. For the program to be successful all athletes must be tested and prescribed an exercise regime. This Macrocycle program is an overview of the entire team. Individuals will require concrete routines that are categorical to their playing position.

Soccer is a popular sport played all over the world. Even though it has only been popular in the United States for the past 30 years, soccer has been a long time favorite most everywhere else. The sport dates back to the Egyptians, who played games involving the kicking of a ball. Now, the sport has grown to a global pastime, including men’s and women’s teams, and the World Cup (which is played every four years).
Practicing the correct tackling skills will decrease injuries throughout an athlete 's career. According to Palmer, “football players that practiced five-minute tackling drills without their helmets and shoulder pads twice a week in preseason and once a week during football season were less likely to have injuries”(Palmer, 2015). This would build a healthy habit for the athlete and decrease the rate of many injuries. Many tackling drills consist of properly hitting an upright pad, tackling dummy, or a teammate holding a padded shield at a fifty to seventy-five percent effort will also help prevent injury. Reducing repetitive head impacts in tackle football through limiting full contact practices is another key example of how injuries can be prevented. An example of this could be illustrated as a football team walking through plays without any physical contact. The coaches and players would go over all the plays and discuss different situations. This will
This task is about applying a 5-week training program which aims at improving my physical capabilities as a touch football player in order to find and justify a position based on my fitness level. I will discuss and evaluate the link between each position and the amount of fitness required to strive in a youth district level touch football environment. My best position will be evaluated and justified by the results of the pre-training tests and the post-training tests which I took part in.
In “What Could Be Better Than A Touchdown” the article argues that both physical and mental prowess play an important role to playing sports. It insists that you have to be concentrated on the game but also being physically prepared to what’s approaching. The sports
Have you ever noticed that quitting is criticized as the worst thing you can possibly do, showing weakness, a sign of failure, and the absolute last thing you should ever do or your frowned upon, but mostly in sports? In some cases, it is worth the pain to keep pushing yourself, to face obstacles head on fearless, and knowing that your hard work will pay off and make you a stronger and the better athlete that you can be. In other situations, it is almost silly if you don’t quit. There are some definite times when you know you must leave your sport. Last school year I decide I was going to quit playing tackle football not because the change in coaching but because my heart was no longer in it, the injuries that come with the sport, and I wanted to focus on another sport.
Have you ever heard the saying, “have you ever wanted something so much it hurt”? Well, when I say it. I’m talking about literally hurting. Your legs are so sore, it feels like you can’t take another stride, your so out of breath from chasing the ball around, and your so exhausted from last nights practice, your bed seems to be the most attractive thing to you right now. Three hour practices of straight running, push ups, and sit ups has its pros and cons. Even at times when you feel like you need a break, pushing yourself through it is what makes you a better player. I choose to inform you on soccer because I’ve played my whole life, from 5 years old until my senior year in high school, and its something I know about. The three main
Every step strained my burning muscles. I gasped for air as I sprinted down to the finish line. Sweat dripped down my face in the ninety degree heat. My eyes fixated on the runner in front of me. I leaped in front of her just as we passed the finish line, but all I could think of at that moment was, “Why am I doing this?”
For as long as I can remember football has been a part of my life in some way, shape, or form. When I was first born my grandfather said that I was solid and built to play football. I used to throw the football with my mother when I was a toddler and she always told me that when I tried to tackle her I hit really hard. My first organized football experience was when I was five. I had just moved to Manassas, VA from Washington, D.C. in 1994. It was around fall and that was right at the beginning of football season in the area. I remember telling my mother that I wanted to play, so she looked for a local organization for children. She came across the Greater Manassas Football League (GMFL) and that is where I began to play the game I
