A+ Athlete Coaching is for any soccer player who feels as though they haven't yet reached their full potential. Through the implementation of my personalized coaching packages, small group sessions, educational resources, additional training guides and your personal commitment, as an A+ Athlete you will reflect on your own personal athletic goals, improve technical skills, refine game-day application, uncover buried potential, increase self-confidence and ultimately become the best you that you can be!
It is important to recognize that being a "soccer player" is two-part equation: soccer + player = soccer player. You cannot expect to perform at your best if you do not focus on being the best athlete you can be as well as having the best soccer skill and understanding. A+ Athlete Coaching recognizes this and focuses on the 4 main components of attaining excellence in the game of soccer:
Soccer-Specific Focus
Technical & Tactical Skill DevelopmentSoccer-Specific Focus
Technical & Tactical Application & AnalysisAthlete-Specific Focus
Physical & Psychological DevelopmentAthlete-Specific Focus
Physical & Psychological Application & AnalysisEveryone has their own unique style and contribution to the game of soccer. That is just part of why soccer is such an awesome sport! A+ Athlete Coaching focuses on strengthening your strengths while developing your weaknesses. Hard work and dedication are no secrets to success. In order to maximize your potential, YOU must commit to making your goals a priority in your life. The bigger the goals, the more you have to work at achieving them. At A+ Athlete Coaching, your individual commitment and discipline are paired with a personalized A+ Athlete coaching plan to give you the tools to achieve your athletic and soccer goals!
1. A+ Athlete Coaching is designed SPECIFICALLY FOR YOU.
A+ Athlete Coaching wants to cater to YOU, coordinate with YOUR schedule, structure a one-on-one coaching plan and package around YOUR GOALS and NEEDS and maximize YOUR POTENTIAL to achieve excellence as an individual soccer player, teammate and all-around athlete!
When you picture a training session, what do you see? Perhaps picture this: A team of about 20 soccer players and only 1 coach. Every player doing the same drills; working on the team's needs. Does this look familiar? How much time in that 90 minute team practice is dedicated to focusing solely on YOU and your needs, desires, goals as an athlete and soccer player? Soccer is a team sport so team practice, growth and success are all important, as are learning how to be a good teammate and maximizing your individual role within a team. BUT, is enough of your time and money going toward YOUR INDIVIDUAL GROWTH AND SUCCESS? After all, you can't be the best teammate and maximize your role in your team's success if you aren't the best you that you can be! With A+ Athlete Coaching, now you can get everything you need to be an A+ individual athlete, soccer player, teammate and MORE!
2. A+ Coaching is a personalized coaching EXPERIENCE.
A+ Athlete Coaching is more than just your traditional one-on-one technical training session. There is so much that you are NOT receiving from these typical, most often simply technical training sessions. With A+ Athlete, you get a complete one-on-one full coaching EXPERIENCE. In order to unleash your maximum potential, you need more than just technical skill, and that is where A+ Athlete Coaching excels!
Improving your performance, in the game of soccer and in life, doesn't just happen in 60 minute technical training sessions or 90 minute team practices. Most players, athletes and professionals struggle to reach their goals; not because they aren't capable, but because they just don't fully understand how. Because of this, A+ Athlete Coaching is HERE FOR YOU! A+ Athlete Coaching will support you beyond the training sessions. A+ Athlete Coaching will help you recognize your individual goals and create personalized plans that are specific to helping you achieve those goals. In addition, all of your A+ Athlete Coaching training sessions will be recorded, analyzed and discussed with YOU between one session to the next. A+ Athlete Coaching can also breakdown, analyze and discuss game film with you to reach excellence in game performance. Your A+ Athlete coach will be available to answer your questions, help solve problems you may be having and make sure you are always motivated, focused on achieving your goals and held accountable while teaching you life-skills along the way to lead you toward A+ excellence both on and off the soccer pitch.
