Coaching Speed for Football Workshop

We are proud to be hosted by West Ham Womens and West Ham Academy for a workshop on Speed development and transfer for football.  Hailu Theodros (9 years in Chelsea Academy) and Jonas Dodoo will share their methodology and insight developed over their careers working with athletes and players.

 

This session will focus on the measurement and development of Acceleration, Deceleration and Maximum Velocity for football. Our target audience are those wishing to learn modern methods for optimising training transfer for football players. Be it a strength coach wanting to reverse engineer on field actions, or a technical coach looking to connect physical prep concepts to skill development. 

 

We will progress from simple preplanned drills to chaotic position specific training. Will go through a menu of exercises that can be used in a gym setting, on field in a warm up as well as post training for more individualised development of players. The session will have a focus on  “collective individualisation”, empowering you with a broad lens to look at coaching movement, whilst simple methods to progress and regress your plan for the different types of players you will come across. Attendees will leave with an understanding of how to objectively asses movement quality, how to individualise training content and coaching cues for large groups of players and the why behind it all.
