Are you an AC Milan fan?
Do you have aspiration of being a Soccer coach?
How about learning “a Day in the Life” of a Professional European Soccer player?
My friend is hosting a full time "Coaching and training week". It’s a complete training program with the AC Milan “Serie A” team, with the head coach Massimiliano Allegri and his technical staff at Milanello Sports Centre, near Milan, Italy.
During this intensive week, you will learn in depth analysis of the training strategy by their staff.
Sneak Preview
AC Milan uses the Milanello Sports Centre located at 30 Km from Milano, with 2 football fields (synthetic and natural) and gymnasium. This venue is an ideal area for a coaching and training season.
The AC Milan Technical Staff is composed by the Head Coach, who is the technical and tactical manager, along with his collaborators (a vice-coach, two or three technical coaches, an athletic trainer and a goalkeeper trainer). These people are in charge to execute, according to the head coach, the exercises and each part of the day’s training is clearly defined.
The AC Milan applied in the 2009-10 season the 4-2-3-1 and 4-3-1-2 schemes, according to the players available during the championship. As the team remained without side attackers, it was necessary to change the playing system. If you are not sure what a 4-2-3-1 and 4-3-1-2 scheme is, then I recommend this course!
The team executed 70% of the work using the ball, and 30% of the training without ball. For individuals, the staff works to improve their force power through customized exercises of coordination and quality of every single athlete.
It should be noted that AC Milan team members have a very high athletic and fitness level and they optimize the athletic program, according to the competitions of the season, by customizing their personal training to obtain the maximum performance of each player.
