Thoughts on Charlie Francis and soccer

Charlie, being faster means being a better player. And I think this is the most important thing. Being faster means being able to cover a larger part of the field, get first on the ball etc. I implemented your ideas in my off-season training, well, like day and night. The only thing is that I’d put a little more emphasis on distances up to 60 meters, I find them useful a lot. I agree, speed potential without the ball! Then, you use that speed potential in the field with the ball (sometimes).

P.S. a lot, again, a lot of top level soccer player are low level athletes.
Next time you are in Florence you have to organize a seminar, Charlie!

There was no time for a seminar there but I would love to come back as Ange, James, and I had a fantastic time.
As for the 60s, I wonder if replacing them with flying 20s (30m smooth build up) when combined with the accels would cover all requirements without such an increased demand overall. If you have any ideas for a seminar, contact angela@charliefrancis.com.
