Growth & Retention. 2010 – 2011.

HEADLINES. (National).• The total number of teams across all categories of football has decreased this season by 2411 from 131,508 to 129, 087.• The number of teams playing adult male football 11 v 11 has decreased by 346 teams.• Adult female 11 v 11 teams continue to increase steadily.• However, surprisingly youth female football has seen proportionally the biggest fall from 6461 teams to 5163,

Approx 20%. (NGB).WHAT DO YOU THINK MAY BE THE

Demands of the Game

THE EVOLVING GAME.

Throughout the history of football, has there ever been a more significant period of change and progress both on & off the field, than in the past 15 – 20 years?

PHYSICAL DEMANDS.• Players now cover 50% more distance than they did in the mid 60’s & at much higher speeds.• The ball is live almost 15 minutes more than in 1990.• High intensity activities performed by players has almost doubled since 2002.• Speed, agility, acceleration & athleticism are now central to the best players performing at the highest levels.

Energy Systems

AEROBIC?

ANAEROBIC?

WHAT DO THEY MEAN?

Aerobic Training – Benefits for Football.

Helps players to make more effective use of oxygen as an energy source to the working muscles.

 

It provides higher exercise intensity for prolonged periods.

 

It Improves Endurance

 

Less time is required recovering from a period of high intensity exercise before being able to perform maximally again.

Energy Systems - Aerobic

AerobicTraining

RecoveryTraining

65% M.H.R

Low Intensity Training

80%M.H.R

High Intensity Training

90%M.H.R

This is continuous work at a given level, measured by a percentage of the maximum Heart Rate (M.H.R) or VO2 Max.

Anaerobic Training – Benefits for Football

Improved performance of intense activities.

Improved:• Acceleration• Sprinting• Tackling• Shooting

 

An ability to perform these activities for prolonged period of time.

 

Ability to perform these activities more often.

DIET AND PERFORMANCE

“Diet significantly influences athletic performance. An adequate diet, in terms of quantity and

quality, before, during and after training and competition will maximise performance”

(Lausanne Consensus Conference, 1991)

CARBOHYDRATES

SIMPLE CARBOHYDRATES

COMPLEX CARBOHYDRATES

Stored in the body as Glycogen

Massive demand during heavy exercise.

CARBOHYDRATES

Key Points

• Important energy source for football players.• Half time, muscle Glycogen stores down by 60 - 70%• High carbohydrate diet before.• Carbohydrate supplementation during.• Carbohydrate after to replace stores

MANAGING SKILLS.DEALING WITH PLAYERS.

LEARNING STYLES & COMMUNICATION.

Positive and Effective Communication

To communicate effectively you should try to:• Ask questions as well as instruct• Listen to players and other coaches• Plan what you are going to say• Keep information short and simple• Avoid jargon, sarcasm and talking for the sake of

it• Talk with players, not at them• Be prepared to share a joke and show you have

a sense of humour• Be positive and build on players strengths rather

than identifying short comings• Use your voice to capture attention• Smile and make eye contact when speaking

Positive and Effective Communication cont…

The majority of all communication skills are non verbal• Appear smart and appropriately dressed• Be punctual• Be well organised• Vary tone of voice

Providing Information

• Players will only remember 3 / 5 key points at any one time

• Keep information concise• Provide constructive feedback

• Start with positive• Be specific• Offer alternatives• Be descriptive

• Good communicators will listen as well as tell

WHAT’S THAT IN THE ROAD AHEAD?

I DON’T THINK. I KNOW.

WARMING UP.

Football FitnessWARMING UP.In your Groups discuss;

• Group 1.Why is it important to Warm Up before a training session or a match?

• Group 2. What different activities would you include in a Pre-Match Warm Up?

• Group 3. What are the benefits of Cooling Down after a match?

• Group 4. What different activities could you include in a Cool Down?

Warm Ups - Aims

PREPARE CARDIOVASCULAR & RESPIRATORY SYSTEMS

 

PREPARE AN INDIVIDUAL PSYCHOLOGICALLY

 

INCREASE CORE TEMPERATURE

  

STIMULATE REFLEX ACTIVITY

 

 ACHIEVE FULL JOINT MOBILITY

 

ACHIEVE FULL SOFT TISSUE EXTENSIBILITY

Warming Up

What type of activities?

Light jogging, skipping, backwards and lateral movement, changes in direction

Game related movements Dynamic Stretching Technical Work Small Sided Games

Warming Up

The Benefits?

To go from a resting state to readiness to train or play Allows the systems in our body to produce sufficient

energy quickly Warms up the muscles Stretches the muscles to their working length Raises the heart rate Mentally prepares players Reduces the likelihood of injury Increases flexibility and mobility Improves the efficiency of the body

COOLING DOWN.

Warm Downs - Aims

RETURN MUSCLES TO THEIR NORMAL STATE

  

 

PREVENT POST ACTIVITY STIFFNESS

  

 

MAINTAIN POST ACTIVITY MUSCLE EXTENSIBILITY

  

 

ENCOURAGE GRADUAL RETURN OF THE HEART RATE

Cooling Down

What type of activities?

Light rhythmical activities (e.g. Gentle jogging, skipping, walking, simple ball manipulation)

Longer hold stretches (10-15 sacs) Limb shaking Re-hydration Refuelling

Cooling Down

The Benefits?

Gets players back to their normal resting state

Improves flexibility Removes lactic acid which builds up in the

muscles Reduces muscle stiffness/soreness

STRETCHING.

Stretching - Static

Involves stretching a muscle to its furthest point and maintaining that position.

 

 

Requires little energy to perform.

  

 

It’s safe.

  

 

Allows a semi-permanent change in length.

Stretching – Dynamic Stretching

Involves moving body parts and gradually increasing the reach and/or speed of the movement.

 

 

Facilitates functional positions relating to joints or muscles, specific to football performance.

 

 

Movements need to be progressive.

 

  

May appear complicated initially.
