A typical training session with our UEFA Pro Coaches at Kaptiva Sports Barcelona is full of specific exercises, hard work, and even more dedication. The right methodology can make all the difference when it comes to the development of a player. At Kaptiva Sports Academy, we have developed our own methodology that focuses on the strengths of each player. As each player is unique in its skills, it requires particular attention by our coaches to bring out the best in our players and help them reach their full potential. It is no surprise that some of the best players in the world focus specifically on certain aspects of their game in order to bring their abilities to perfection. Cristiano Ronaldo used to train with weights on this feet since he knew that his explosive speed will make the difference in a one vs one situation. Oliver Kahn, the titan, used to train hours and hours of properly diving after the ball over and over again. But let’s not forget the one and only Zlatan Ibrahimovic who would end every practice with his wingers centring balls so he could practice his finishing game. At Kaptiva Sports Academy, we are focussing on our training in the same manner. Practice is position focused and follows the framework that you can see in the diagram below. Kaptiva Sports game model diagram: attacking, defensive transition, defending and attacking transition Attacking, Defensive Transition, Attacking Transition, and Defending are the four key pillars that define our methodology. It is the way we know is best to develop our players and help them reach their full potential. At our elite soccer academy in Barcelona, we take every day as a new opportunity to become a better player and a better teammate. The daily routing, the practice, the discipline, the hard work, and the exposure to playing with local teams help our players excel. We put together a 2 minute video so you can see for yourself how a training session with our UEFO Pro coaches looks like. Thanks for sharing this video and the blog with your friends.
