Academy Training Environment Player Centric : In all that we do, the individual player is our primary emphasis. Safety : Creating safe environments for young athletes to prosper is of utmost importance — safety to make mistakes, safety to express opinions, safety to compete relentlessly, and safety from personal threats are essential to player development. Organization : Training sessions are thoughtfully constructed, and meticulously planned to achieve specific learning objectives for the day. (See a sample training session by clicking here.) Game-Like : All training sessions are designed to present players with scenarios and challenges that are “game like” — i.e., representative of the lived reality and problem solving experienced in match play. Challenging : All training sessions are designed and delivered to challenge players at the appropriate level of difficulty. Players know that most training sessions are harder than match play. Repetition : All training sessions provide players with multiple opportunities to practice and develop the training objectives of the session in contexts that mirror the real game. Standards : In the training environment we maintain high standards for our players regarding their training habits, mentality, competitive spirit, technical development, and tactical execution.
