Welcome to the final supporter-only FD Dallas Academy series. We know you’ve learned a ton already from the best academy in the USA. In seeking excellence, we see how FCD go above and beyond for all of its players.
Part 5 - Seeking Excellence
Individual Approach
"Individual development is huge. It has to be done as a team dynamic, but you do need to address the areas of improvement for these players.
We do a lot of position-specific work during the week and we have our training objectives for each day. There are always one or two days dedicated for our lines - for our backs to do functional work together with our mids or forwards.
We'll even break it down to more specific sides where it's our right back with our right winger doing vertical lines."
The idea is to give specific exposure to situations and areas that players will be seeing frequently. Thus allowing players to best understand, have solutions ready, and recall those under game pressure.
