Speed camp was crazy good tonight. 🔥😮‍💨 👏🏽

In the world we live in now it’s all content and stats, which is great but I see too much from coaches who film every effin bit of a session and it makes me wonder where the actual coaching element comes in? What are the clients actually paying for? Building up your social media followers? No! They want to improve and progress in their chosen sports.

Tonight was one of those sessions where every youth athlete was right at it. Full energy, engagement and effort all session. You definitely get what you put in and all the group have been posting personal bests most weeks.
I didn’t even get my phone out to capture bits as I was too engrossed in the session and progression. Take a bow speed campers 🔥🤝 💨

Another top session with the youth athletes at speed camp last night

Focus was on explosive first steps as with footballers, it’s not about being rapid over 100m ( it obvs helps) but it’s about quick reactions, explosive speed and sharp turns and cuts. Master the starts and you’ll have a more efficient and rounded athlete.
As always when you throw competition in with the drills you get a more match related feel to the training.

Mendo fitness Speed camp week 3⚡️🥵⚡️

When I train footballers, it’s not the same as training a sprinter, runner, boxer or Hyrox athlete. Then there would be a concentration on linear speed and building cardiovascular capacity. With footballers it’s multi directional movements every few seconds and you have to train speed, agility, change of direction, reactions and stamina. That’s why my camps aren’t just copy and paste sessions, there are clear coaching points at every drill, so that the youth athletes know the right positions, foot placement & running mechanics required to not only sprint fast but run efficiently, so that they can make repeated sprints and have the engine to last a whole game.

The guys have really bought into the sessions and the quality has been super high this off season. You only get what you put into your training, and these guys have left it all on the pitch 👏🏽

They are that good that my pod has blown up from the constant drilling this summer. The numbers don’t lie and all the athletes have posted personal bests in the 20m & 40m time trials 🫡🥇⏱️

Big energy at the Mendo Fitness speed camp this evening.
Stability, agility, acceleration, max speed, change of direction and stamina runs.
You can have the best coach or best facilities, but if you don’t want to put a shift in nothings going to change.
Well done to all the boys and girls that left it all on the poolfoot pitch 👏🏽 👏🏽
