Introductory presentation

2.  Improving physical abilities to improve
performance on the field
◦ This includes injury prevention, movement patterns,
speed, strength, and endurance
 This occurs progressively
◦ You get better little by little, not all at once
 Training is a long-term process

3.  The following slides will illustrate what will be
important for success with the actual
program, as well as football going forward

4.  One workout will not make you a good football
player, one good meal will not fix your diet
◦ Many workouts, spaced appropriately, with varying work
performed over time will yield results
 This requires dedication and arranging priorities in
a way where training takes precedence over non-essential
tasks (video games, television, parties,
etc)

5.  Similar to #1
◦ While results will come to those who work hard
consistently, every athlete adapts at different rates
 This means some people will naturally be/get stronger
than others!
◦ Compare yourself only in terms of getting better
than you were yesterday

6.  Football is not easy!!
◦ Training reflects this
 “Get comfortable being uncomfortable.”
 Must always keep goals in mind

7.  No one can or should do it for you
◦ Training is a self dependent act
 Take it upon yourself to take charge of your
success

8.  Write down your goals
◦ List of 10 things, as big or small as you need, with
concrete details
 “I will weigh 100 kg on June 1, 2015.”
 NOT “I want to gain weight.”
◦ Print goals off, put them somewhere you can see them
every day
 No more excuses!
◦ You must be in control of your destiny. Take it on yourself
to be great.
