This specialised diploma is designed to enhance strength and conditioning training specifically for football.
It focuses on the development of football players through advanced strength training methodologies, injury prevention, and rehabilitation processes.
Participants will explore both the theoretical and practical aspects of football training, covering everything from game-style strategies and neuromuscular conditioning to macronutrient needs and coaching skills.
The course also emphasises the use of technology in strength training and the creation of effective action plans based on player complexity.
By the end of the course, participants will be equipped to design football-specific strength programs, optimise player development, and apply evidence-based strategies to enhance both individual and team performance on the field.
