- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When working with a new athlete the first thing I always do is talk with both the parents and the athlete to determine what exactly they are looking to get out of the sessions. This helps us collaboratively set specific goals for the athlete to continue to work towards during our time together. Moreover, it helps me design the sessions to meet the specific needs of the athlete. The next step is scheduling an initial session. The first session is structured to help me assess the technical, physical, and tactical abilities of the athlete. It provides a baseline model of the athlete's current level of skill and cognition. From this first session, I develop a comprehensive, multidimensional training program that addresses the athlete's points of improvement while also building upon their strengths. After the first session, it is common for athletes to sign up for a consistent day and time each week. This is when the real learning and work begin. With consistent training, the athlete and I are able to effectively build their skills and knowledge of soccer by compounding lessons, key points, and techniques from the previous sessions. By building off of previous sessions the athlete will learn and establish better skills and techniques; and, more importantly, they will understand how these skills are applied and executed during a game.
