The film

Speed · Mechanics · Strength · Injury prevention
What your player gets
Every session opens with a dynamic warm-up and closes with injury prevention work. In between, speed, movement and strength built around what soccer asks of a 13 or 14 year old body.

Speed
Win the first five yards.
Acceleration, top speed and repeat sprints, with change of direction drills built around how soccer is actually played.

Mechanics
Move clean, waste nothing.
Sprint, cut, decelerate and land with good mechanics. Coached reps with instant feedback until better movement is automatic.

Strength
Bodyweight and isometrics.
Bodyweight strength and isometric holds that build tendon and joint strength, core control and body awareness, the right fit for this age.

Stay healthy
Injury prevention, every night.
Hamstring, groin, knee and ankle work in every session, plus landing and deceleration training that lowers injury risk through growth spurts.
REAL Colorado develops the player. Elite builds the athlete underneath the player.
