If you could ask Efthymios one question today about the course or soccer in general, what would it be?

This topic gives participants a unique opportunity to connect directly with the course author. It also helps bridge the gap between theory and practice, bringing real-world coaching challenges into the conversation.

[Miltiadis Christofillakis]

what is his periodisation proposal for amateur teams with 3 and 4 trainings per week;

[Efthymios Kyprianou]

Hi Miltiadi,

For amateur teams, I would prioritise quality over quantity. I would recommend:

For 3 sessions: 1) Strength (small spaces, high intensity, neuromuscular stimulus)

2) Endurance (big spaces, mod intensity, cardiovascular stimulus)

3) Speed of Play (mix spaces, high intensity, more rest in between bouts, speed actions)

For 4 sessions: I would simply add either one recovery (technical training) or reaction session based on where the session fits in the weekly plan according to the game day.

I hope that helps!
