FAQs
Who is this program for?
This program is designed for footballers at all levels—academy players, semi-pros, and serious amateurs—who want to improve strength, power, mobility, and recovery in a structured way.
Do I need access to a gym?
Yes, the strength and power sessions are gym-based and require access to basic equipment like dumbbells, barbells, and resistance bands. However, a modified version can be provided for home or limited-equipment use.
What happens after the 8 weeks?
You’ll have a stronger foundation and better movement quality. We recommend getting a more personalised program with progressive load or moving into an advanced phase—we can guide your next step.
