Train for your match day, not just the gym.
Get a free 46-page Playbook, four match-week templates and a training dashboard to plan, track and improve your football training. Written by a UEFA B licensed coach who is also a qualified teacher.
Your week, planned around the game
Elite teams name every day by its distance from the match. MD is match day, MD-2 is two days before. We plan your seven days the same way, so you arrive sharp.

Example: Saturday match with club training on Tuesday and Thursday. This is a starting point. Use the Playbook to adjust the week based on club training, minutes played and how you are feeling.
Inside the Playbook
Everything above in one guide, written the way elite environments plan a week and scaled for players with jobs, studies and club schedules.
- FoundationsThe match-day countdown, a plain-English glossary, and how to measure effort.
- Your weekFour templates with a day-by-day breakdown for each.
- SessionsStrength, jump pairs to level up, speed, conditioning, MD-1 activation with a ball, the match-day warm-up and mobility. Every session has a success test.
- FuelWhat to eat and drink by day type, a match-day timeline and honest supplement advice.
- Recover and protectSleep, recovery and staying available for every game.
- Track and watchA daily readiness check, progress tests and a weekly log.
Your training dashboard
The free dashboard is yours to keep: a spreadsheet that fills in your week and tracks sessions, effort (RPE) and readiness. Everyone who signs up gets this same version.
The same template, adjusted to you
The Playbook shows you how to adapt each week. A player who played 90 minutes on Saturday keeps Sunday to recovery only. A player who sat on the bench adds a short top-up session instead. Your effort scores and readiness check tell you which one you need.
How the free pilot works
Everyone who signs up is part of the pilot. You get the Playbook and dashboard free, use them for a few weeks, and tell me honestly what works and what doesn't.
