Individual training offers the most personal attention for an athlete. At the first training session, an athlete’s abilities are assessed. Once a player’s strengths and weaknesses are identified, a unique training program is created to hone his or her skills. The one-on-one setting enables flexible training, through which an athlete’s development and confidence flourishes.
An athlete’s success is measured by his or her performance come game-time. Therefore, SMP concentrates not only on enhancing a player’s skills, but on transferring these skills to a game environment. Our training is divided into three areas of focus: Technical, Tactical and Game Simulation. Every athlete is unique, so the amount of time spent on each area varies depending on individual needs. For instance, a less proficient player must first improve upon his or her skills; whereas, a more advanced player may need to focus on handling the pressures of a live game before he or she can fully thrive.
Throughout a training program, SMP reevaluates an athlete’s abilities. Continuous customized changes are made to further advance a player’s progression. Hence, SMP does not utilize a one-size-fits-all training model. Instead, we recognize that the most efficient and effective training centers upon identifying and working on personal deficiencies. The privacy of individual training provides the perfect environment for athletes to seek clarification and receive in-depth explanations regarding unknown terms, player formation, proper technique, or any other uncertainties.
SMP remains in constant communication with each athlete and his or her parents. Quantifiable benchmarks of high-detail are used to track an athlete’s progress. While player progression is shared with each athlete and his or her parents, this data is also compiled within our own internal tracking system. SMP’s broad perspective on where its athletes stand spurs innovative and cutting-edge training techniques. Our goal is to make certain that each of our athletes learn the tools necessary to achieve his or her peak level of performance.
