Stop thinking only about the next training session. Start developing players for the long term.
How do you develop players not just today, this season, or at the next age level, but throughout their football journey? In this one-day course, Raymond Verheijen explains the principles of Long-Term Player Development Periodisation. You will explore how tactics, game insight, technique, and fitness can be developed progressively and systematically over time. Rather than treating these areas as separate pieces of the puzzle, this course examines how they interact within player development. The course objective is to challenge how you think about player development in general, and long-term training, methodology and periodisation in particular.
Whether you are a head coach, academy coach, assistant coach, staff member, technical director, or coach educator responsible for player development, this course offers an opportunity to step back from short-term thinking and examine the bigger picture.
What should a player learn in each age category? What should come first and why? And how should development progress over several years? Spend one intensive day with Raymond Verheijen and gain a clearer frame of reference for answering these questions.
