Individual Training

SIQ offers individual training year round for all ages and abilities. We will select a coach that will best match your player’s needs and requests. These sessions either run for 60 minutes or 90 minutes.

Our coaches work versatile hours and will be able to coach based on the rest of the player’s routine which is especially important if the player has team training and matches at other points in the week, allowing for necessary recovery time. This is also beneficial for busy parents who can book their coach for time slots that are convenient and allow them to juggle other commitments.

It is essential to train with your team in order to become a better soccer player. However, we understand that each player is different, each with their own unique needs, desires, strengths, and weaknesses. Individual training is an important asset in order to zero in on the specific needs of the player. Some benefits include the following.

Center of Attention

1-on-1 coaching puts the learner in the center of attention, it’s easy for players to get overlooked at group training or in a busy environment – this form of training provides an opportunity for the coach to deliver detailed coaching points that will increase the player’s performance.

In addition to this, from a coaching and teaching perspective it is important to acknowledge that every individual is different and therefore, may have different learning styles. A 1-on-1 coach can quickly assess how each player most effectively learns and adapt their coaching style to fit them best

Social and Psychological Development

1-on-1 coaching creates an environment in which the player is being constantly and adequately challenged. This form of training encourages players to take ownership and responsibility for their successes and failures within each session. This can have a positive effect in preparation for matches and competitive environments and can also make them a more independent and decisive player in team environments

Working towards personal goals: no matter the ability

There is a common misconception that only professional players should pursue 1-on-1 coaching. This is wrong, the benefit of this personalized approach is that they are flexible and can design a personal program relevant to the areas the player would like to develop in.

Each player has different objectives, goals and circumstances and this is why a 1-on-1 football coach can really help as they will take the time to listen, analyse and discuss a strategy and program to effectively develop the player. There is also a constant communication line between the coach and the player which allows both to adapt to situations or unpredictable circumstances and most importantly continuously look for possible improvements in performance

Practice makes permanent

No matter the level of the player, there is always room for technical improvement and it is often hard for the player to know themselves what needs to be corrected and what they should do differently. If a player unknowingly repeats an action or a touch on the ball with bad form, then they will find it difficult to correct this.

However, in a 1-on-1 coaching environment, the coach is able to spot bad technique quickly and correct it. This means that mistakes can be explained to player in detail, so that they have a better understanding of the correct form and work on repeating good habits

Flexibility

Busy schedules can be challenging and 1-on-1 coaching provides an efficient training session that can fit in with your timetable
