Conditioning to Maximise Performance: 50 Practices - Youth to Pro | Training Week | Football Periodization
Conditioning to Maximise Performance
50 Practices | Youth to Pro | Training Week | Football Periodization
Football Specific Conditioning from a World Leading High Performance Expert to Maximise the Performance of Your Players and Team
Following the best-selling Football Periodization to Maximise Performance book and the first two volumes in this series (Warm Ups and Technical Practices), high performance expert and UEFA Pro Licence Coach Educator Adam Owen PhD now presents a complete football-specific conditioning resource for coaches at all levels.
From his extensive experience in elite football, you will learn how to structure conditioning through the training week and connect physical work to your game model to produce optimum conditioning, low injury rates, and peak match day performance.
Key Benefits of this Book for Coaches:
- Develop Essential Physical Qualities: Improve acceleration, deceleration, repeat intensity actions, movement efficiency, and position-specific demands.
- Clear Training Week Structure: Learn how resistance, reaction speed, speed endurance, and activation conditioning practices fit into the periodization model.
- Smarter Load Management: Apply conditioning without overloading players to reduce injury risk and help them perform at their peak levels on match day.
- Integrated Football-Specific Conditioning: Use conditioning within realistic football practices and build physicality through game actions.
- 50 Practices: Practical conditioning for Pro, Semi-Pro, Academy, and Youth levels.
If conditioning training is not intelligently delivered throughout the training week, performance drops, injury risk rises, and players struggle to sustain match-level intensity. That is why I have produced a practical conditioning framework that works across all levels of the game.
Condition the Training Week for Peak Match Day Performance
This book shows you how to plan conditioning across the week, so each training day has a clear physical focus and purpose.
- Resistance (Match Day -4): After recovery, rebuild robustness with controlled overload, accelerations, decelerations, and duels.
- Speed Endurance (Match Day -3): Deliver the week’s most demanding physical session with game-related high speed running and repeated sprints under fatigue.
- Reaction Speed (Match Day -2): Use low volume, high quality reaction practices to sharpen explosiveness and decision-making as load begins to taper.
- Activation (Match Day -1): Prime players mentally and physically with short, sharp activation work to keep them fresh and ready to start fast.
- Training Week Periodization: Follow a football-specific training structure that prepares your players to perform at their highest level on match day.
The Football Periodization Methodology:
This conditioning book is an invaluable tool, but is one piece of a larger methodology fully outlined in the "Football Periodization to Maximise Performance" book, so we highly recommend adding it to your library for the complete training program.
"Adam provides an outstanding mixture of applied research, practical application and tremendous experience in the world of high-performance football."
