Prevention
A fundamental part of the game to optimise player availability.
Overview
Prevention Module
Prevention is always better than cure and is a vital component of any training philosophy, particularly if we aim to have every player ‘Fit For Every Game’. While the dynamic nature of football itself places players at potential risk of injury, almost every injury is avoidable when common sense is applied and combined with sound training methods. Choose the prevention modules to gain a greater understanding of screening and testing, readiness to train or preparation to train.
Screening and Testing
Provides invaluable information about players physical capabilities and the effectiveness of the training methods employed.
Readiness to Train
Helps eliminate unnecessary risk-taking when planning the training session and keeps all players involved but operating within their capabilities.
Preparation to Train
Part of a players’ daily routine to improve posture, mobility, stability and stimulate the key muscle groups responsible for specific football actions.
