Robert Morledge

6 weeks of speed, power and strength training. This programme is specifically built for footballers who want to improve their acceleration, top speed, conditioning and agility.

 

This programme has 4 sessions per week and is split into an acceleration biased day, top speed, change of direction and conditioning with speed emphasis. I have taken into account that it is the off season and you need time to reload after the long season so the first 2 weeks builds you in whilst the last 4 weeks builds in intensity and complexity. 

 

Through out the 6 weeks you will ingrain the proper running mechanics needed to accelerate well and fly in the longer sprints. I have big emphasis on special strength which replicates those positions we need to get faster. The Inclusion of plyometrics, jumps and med ball power training will increase explosive strength and help you in those crucial moments that occur in game-play.
