Why Physical Competence Is Key In Elite Youth Football

Rob discusses a subject that is key to not just grass roots and youth football, but also to the future of football at all levels: physical competency.No matter which path we choose in football, the game itself demands, at its very foundations, a level of physical competency in order to achieve success. In this week's show, Rob discusses the basic components of competency to which any aspiring player must commit.KEY TAKEAWAYSThe key components of physicality are strength, speed, power and proprioception. All four of these attributes rely on a basic core of ability.Without the required physical prowess, we cannot hope to compete at the highest level among those who have proven that they have these attributes.Agility and speed are the coordination by the body, of turning reaction into ordered physical reaction. The stronger the muscles, the faster we are able to respond.Early training in life is most effective when structured around games. Only when we move on to adolescence should we move into a more regimented, structured training framework. BEST MOMENTS‘What we're talking about here is the possible development on into elite football' 'Speed is the translation of ability into movement' 'These are the windows of opportunity' ‘We are giving them the resilience to work through the demands of professional football' VALUABLE RESOURCES Leader Manager Coach Podcast   ABOUT THE HOST Rob Ryles is a UEFA A licensed coach with a League Managers Association qualification and a science and medicine background.
