Long term athletic development is a process not an outcome. This needs time to develop, many hours of training, always thinking on the developmental phases of the young athlete. Futbol Global use optimal training, competition and recovery programming specific for soccer.

It is important to start athletic development correctly. It is easier to learn a new skill correctly the first time, than correct the one with poor technique later. What is done in early years has the greatest impact on the achievement. Even short periods of inappropriate movement patterns can affect the athlete in a negative way.

To be a good soccer player you need to be athletic! But what is athleticism?

Futbol Global gives your players the physical tools! The foundation of athleticism is body control, coordination, body awareness, speed, agility, quickness and reaction time.

The value of athleticism is to have the fundamental abilities, physical literacy. These are critical skills for strategy and tactics that are involved in soccer, Read-React-Response. This not only will help them to be better in any sport but minimize injuries and maximize long term potential (Playground to Podium).

The demands on soccer are dynamic, explosive, high intensity and unpredictable, so then Read-React and Response are critical for success.

In Futbol Global, we bridge the gap of athleticism and sport specific, soccer, by integrating the developmental philosophy with the developmental practice.
