3 football fitness drills…
1. To build endurance / stamina
2. To build resistance / higher speed running capacity
3. To build strength / change of direction
I missed speed. That’s next weeks lesson 🏃♂️ 💨
This is how I would improve my speed if I was:
- short on time
- no access to a gym
Completing these 3 things x2 per week for a MINIMUM of 4-5 weeks will 100% improve your speed and explosive ability.
2 Upper Body Exercises for Footballers
Renegade Row: 3x6 Each Side
Pull Ups: 3x6
These two exercises will help you build muscle in key areas of the body which you can use when competing in duals on the pitch 💪
Lower Body Power for footballers.
No equipment needed.
These are two of my favourite exercises. Simple but effective for improving jump height and acceleration.
Knee Drives - 3sets X 30seconds
Lunge Switches - 3sets X 20second
My football journey has been slightly unconventional.
But the one thing I will remember for life from it is those coaches that left a positive impact of me.
I can guarantee you that you can almost instantly think of the coach / mentor than has had the most impact on you as a player.
I believe having a good coach & mentor will be the single most important factor in your development.
Lucky I’m a coach & mentor then!😉

Dominate your duals 💪
These are 2 of my favourite core exercises for building a strong and athletic frame on the pitch.
Leave the crunches alone and focus on training for football.
Palov Press - 3 sets X 12 reps
Med Ball Side Slam - 3 sets X 6 reps (each side)
Thanksgiving Training Camp: Elevate Your Game on November 24th and 25th
Calling all dedicated players! This Thanksgiving, we’re hosting a focused two-day camp designed to refine both your technical and physical skills. The total baller will be leading the technical sessions to fine-tune your touch, control, and tactical understanding. Sam will be concentrating on your speed, strength, and overall athletic conditioning.
This camp is about elevating your game in a professional, focused environment.
Secure your spot by signing up at the link below. We look forward to seeing you there!
Let’s be honest - ‘Train Like A Pro’ Camps are overdone.
They are.
It’s usually to grab attention & The company or coach doing them doesn’t have any experience in working with Pros let alone design a training day for it.
That’s where this is different. As you can see.
2 companies who have ACTUALLY coached & designed sessions for Professionals.
2 companies hellbent on making 1 day as good as it can be.
To develop every player who comes, using the same drills the pros do.
The proof you need is in the photo.
Join us for an amazing day. @theplayerprogramme
