Sport981 Human Performance team know what it is like to compete at the top of one of the biggest, most demanding leagues in the world, The English Football Association (FA) Premier League. We have the training knowledge and recovery strategies required to bullet proof your body with injury resilience and build position specific speed, endurance, strength and power to maximise on pitch performance and career longevity.

With on-field positional and match demands ranging between defender, midfielder or striker, the game requires players to make repeated multi sprint efforts covering upwards of 10k at varying speeds, with changes of direction, cutting, jumping, shuffling and sideways motions while remaining alert and reactive to game strategy. With the influx of overseas talent, a long season, demanding match fixtures, and increasing athletic demands, to be constantly at the top of your game in the FA league or to make that first crucial signing, off-season individualised training is becoming a crucial element in the modern players preparation to stay ahead of the competition.

It’s not about training harder or longer, its about training smarter…

“A lot of coaches treat players the same way, whatever their age, whatever their body composition, whatever their injury history, whatever their playing position” …..”you have to focus on the quality of training instead of the quantity,”

Raymond Verheijen
