Educational Materials
A collection of practical, evidence-based publications designed to support coaches, sport scientists, and performance practitioners in daily work.
How Coaches Plan Football Training Sessions Faster
This practical book is designed to help coaches plan football training sessions faster and more efficiently. Instead of focusing on theory, it provides real-life drills, practical tools, and structured planning frameworks that can be applied immediately in daily coaching practice, across different age groups and performance levels.
What makes this book valuable:
- Real drills from coaches – with clear objectives, execution details, and variations
- Practical planning tools & coaching hacks – to save time and improve session structure
- Science applied to the field – making GPS data and training load easy to understand and use
- Structured player development approach – from technical learning to game application
