Below you can see our five step model on developing players of all levels of ability.

 

Player development model

  1. Basic technique

    You must get the basics correct first. Every player whether they are Lionel Messi or a complete amateur must learn the basics of football first in order to reach their full potential. This includes getting a feel for the ball with our unique football familiarization control drills, short passing, controlling the ball from a pass and early shooting techniques. Players with experience of playing football can skip this stage providing the coach feels it’s necessary and for the best of the players development.

  2. Skills

    We believe players should be skillful no matter which postition they play. Every player must be comfortable on the ball in the modern game, players are expected to keep the ball instead of hoofing it as far away from their goal as possible. Having an understanding of skills from all parts of the globe and being able to use them whenever necessary is a great advantage to have and one that every player is capable of aqireing. Skills are not just step overs and kick ups. It includes such techniques as; curling the ball, using every part of the foot to dribble, different types of passes, fake shots and turns, as well as diverse ways of controlling the ball.

  3. Mental and Speed

    It’s no secret that speed can make a massive difference in football, both on and off the ball. We aim to develop the speed at which players can process information on the ball, the quicker a player is able to do this the less time it gives the defender to close them down and make a tackle. The player is effectively gaining an extra yard by doing this. We will also develop physical speed and agility through a number of drills. Co-ordination, balance and jumping is also developed at this stage covering every attribute needed in football.

    The mental side of football is just as important as the technical and physical side, just look at the difference in mental strength between England and Germany when a game goes to penalties. Our coaches will look to develop a confidence in the players own ability so they comfortable enough to express themselves in any environment as well as high self esteem, motivation and a strong mental toughness that will set the player apart from the rest.

  4. Weak Foot

    How many times have you heard a commentator say ‘if only they could use there weaker foot, they would have scored there!’. Using your weak foot may be hard or even daunting at first but every player has the potential to be two footed. It gives a massive advantage over every other player on the pitch giving the player double the amount of options on the pitch than if they were only one footed. Westfaulks believes it’s imperative to able to use both feet, therefore all drills are practiced with both feet.

  5. Accuracy

    Most coaches believe that if there player hits the target they have done there job. This isn’t strictly true, most players if told this will just aim for the middle of the goal, exactly where the goal keeper will be standing. We coach players to aim for the corners, hitting the target is important but we’d much rather see our player miss the corner by a yard than hit the ball straight down the middle of the goal where the keeper is standing. We apply this to every attribute, passing; pass in front of the player if they are running on to the ball, Control; don’t just control the ball, control it into a safe area. Examples can be used for almost every technical attribute.

  6. Elite Training

    This part of our model is used for players playing at a very high standard. Focused on fine tuning specific attributes, trying to gain an edge in an incredibly competitive environment.
