COURSE SYLLABUS
No.1
Introduction
We are tremendously excited to share this TOVO Preparation and Activation Course. Our athletes need guidance in so many areas. Physical performance is one portion of a holistic development program within the TOVO Methodology. We know you seek practical information and exercises you can use with your players immediately and this course is set up to provide you with that catalog.
No.2
Purpose
Sketching out some drills and hitting the training ground is not purposeful coaching. We want to start by creating a home base from which to depart. Once we have clarity of purpose, we can proceed to expand our knowledge and get into the details.
No.3
Knowledge
You are a movement coach. That may not be your specialized expertise, but it is a portion of what you will need to govern as a football coach. Guiding your children through a proven and productive program is of critical importance. You want to prevent injuries and to prepare your players for competition. We will give you a framework.
No.4
Preparation
In the dynamic world of football, every training session brings unique challenges.
By running athletes through a Preparation protocol, we are preventing injury and giving them the best chance to remain healthy at training. It is not a complicated process, but it is a tremendously valuable process to build into a habit.
No.5
Mobility
Time to activate.We started with Preparation.We move on now to Activation. The idea is to establish a consistent routine to support the athletes as they will take on more demanding exercises as the training session progresses. We will break this down into three main sections: Mobility, Stability, and Duel Force.
No.6
Stability
Our activation protocol continues. From Mobility we move on to Stability.Stability is more than working the central core of the body. The demands on footballers are multifaceted so we have developed a protocol that will engage the body in a manner faithful to the demands of training and a match.
No.7
Duel Force
From Mobility and Stability we move on to Duel Force. There is no doubt that football is a contact sport and our athletes must battle physically as well as intellectually. The physical dynamics around these duels is important to understand and more importantly to prepare our athletes for those demands.
No.8
Conclusion
We set out to share with you a dynamic and practical program. As mentioned, our athletes need guidance in so many areas.
