Physical Performance Through Soccer

Designed for coaches at any experience level, Physical Performance Through Soccer explores the key physical demands of the game through the lens of speed, strength and stamina. The curriculum covers practical session design, warm-up protocols, small-sided games for conditioning, training load and RPE, and age- and gender-appropriate considerations including growth, maturation and working with female players. Live session demonstrations, downloadable practice plans and short quizzes are included throughout.

The course is delivered entirely online and is self-paced, with lifetime access upon purchase. Learners receive a certificate of completion on finishing the course. It is provided by Player Development Project and led by Dave, a UEFA A licensed coach and co-founder of the organisation with experience at Fulham FC and Brentford FC, alongside Dan Cooke, an A licensed coach specialising in strength and conditioning who is currently a PhD candidate at the Sport Performance Research Institute in New Zealand.
