I would love to propose a new product to Charlie to consider:
Charlie Francis Training System for Team Sports
This product (book or DVD) should deal with the following:
Analysing needs for team sports and adressing those needs in a systematic manner within a competition calendar taking into consederation athletes age and experience (youngers, elites, sub-elites, older ones etc)
Assesment and evaluation of the team athlete
Speed and ‘agility’ training (off-season, pre-season, comp period)
Conditioning for team athletes (off-season, pre-season, comp period) — Work Capacity
Medball & Sled training
Plyometrics and their planning
The Speed Reserve Phenomena
The problem of SpeedEndurance work (shuttles, 300yard, poligons…) and how to plan it
Injury prevention and rehab
The problem of ‘organization’ of a team (30players at once – speed sessions, tempo, weight training…)
Dealing with ‘bench’ guys
Modifications of the System (wheather conditions, equipment, transfers, new players, changing the game-day)
Recovery procedures and supplementation (before, after and during a game/match)
Peaking for important competitions (play-offs, Championships etc)
I would be awesomne if you could do this project with Al Vermeil or some other great coach dealing with team athletes.
Forum contributors, please add a theme within this product.
