There are many different types of training exercises, ranging from exercises for

individual players to sessions involving the entire team.

During team training, you will generally follow the sessions planned by your coach.

These are often match-focused, with exercises designed to prepare the team for

specific situations that may occur during a match.

Training for 1.5 hours twice a week is actually far too little to maximise your

development. That is why it is recommended to complement your team training with

individual training.

Football is a team sport. You are not only training for yourself, but also for your

team.

If you are not there, your coach cannot properly recreate certain match situations

during training. Your teammates cannot practise playing the ball to you without

looking if you are not there, nor can they learn how you are likely to return the ball.

So don’t let your team down — make sure you turn up for training.
