THREE SPHERES

Implementing the three spheres of physical, mental, and competition

ROUTINES

We are what we consistently do. Routines must become habits, and these daily preparations must be executed with intention and purpose, without alternatives. By applying these routines, our chances of winning will …

PERIODIZATION PLAN

“A Dream without a plan is just an illusion”
The plan is based on the systematic and incremental improvement of the player over an extended period. It focuses on the specific skill set of the athlete and …

THE METHODOLOGY

Three simple factors to develop a high performing footballer:

THE PRINCIPLES

Talent & Potential, Volume, and Instruction. The conceptual simplicity of the approach is purposeful to remind the base necessity of excelling at identifying the highest potential players, highlight the fundamental role of volume and repetition as a necessary condition to develop mastery, and remark at last that volume of training is most frequently not sufficient if it’s not accompanied by optimal instruction. In other words, RPS Soccer Academy’s approach highlights that it is not only about Malcolm Gladwell’s 10,000 hours but also about the quality of those hours, which need to be optimized by the best possible level of instruction. 

SKILL DEVELOPMENT

Skill development, in that sense, is not perceived as a linear process of acquiring techniques in isolated situations to then merge into game-based and opposing situations that resemble real games in a closer fashion. Like in music, it is not always a good idea to break a masterpiece into too many fragments to try to stick it back together. From that cornerstone, the different activities and training that are utilized serve as tools that can be used based on the needs of each specific player.  

ENVIRONMENT

To surround and support soccer specific training, a team of professionals assist for a fully holistic developmental approach, covering the areas of Video Analysis, Mental Skills & Toughness, Fitness & Performance Development, Nutrition, and Intellectual Development. 

It is at the core of RPS Academies, like the famous Argentinian coach Cesar Luis Menotti said: If all you know is football, you hardly even know about football. 

GAME BASED

Our primary objective is to develop the cognitive and mental aspects of the game, including emotional control and intellectual understanding. To achieve this, we conduct training based on games.

PERIODIZATION

The plan is based on the systematic and incremental improvement of the player over an extended period.

We focus on the specific skill set of the athlete and connect short-term developmental objectives with long-term performance goals. 

The plan goes beyond generalities, establishing specific improvement strategies by setting realistic goals that we can objectively measure. Results don’t lie and will show us the way. 

COMPETITION

Final Preparation and Daily Training

Ultimately, our success is judged by the results, which is why it is crucial for athletes to arrive at competitions well-prepared in all aspects of their game. Daily practices expose them to various types of pressure, teaching them to perform at their best, under pressure, against opponents with different playing styles. This exposure helps them interpret and adapt to different plays based on their opponents and the court surfaces.

How we deliver the program

1

Program Principles

The star of the team is the team.

We teach and we play from a position of love, not of fear.

Professionalism is not a status, it is a behavior.

Our responsibility is to nurture well rounded, cultured, sensitive people, not just great soccer players.

We don’t expect comfort, we are here to embrace the grind and to compete.

2

Performance Based Groups

Within the RPS Soccer Academy, groups are not splitted by age groups but by level of play, respecting our overarching program principles. We are here to compete.

3

In depth Game Knowledge

The first thing that’s needed to be a great coach is to know the game in depth. We coach specifics, not vague ideas. 

4

The Player before the team

Because the ultimate success is the success of each individual, not the success of the team.

5

Embrace the grind

Our coaches and students are guided by a growth mentality, understanding errors as part of the learning process, and displaying resilience.
