The following football specific awards will be conducted by Alan Pearson, Managing Director of SAQ International, who is considered a world leading authority on sports performance movement and in the development of multi directional explosive speed and power. Alan is also recognised as one of the leading presenters in his field and regularly appears on national TV and radio in the UK and Europe in regard to health and fitness and sports performance. The courses will be held on the following days:
1) Football Specific P-Awards for Football Coaches
The P-Award is one of the most highly respected, nationally recognised awards in Britain. Managers of a stature such as Steve McLaren to amateur coaches to parents of young, aspiring footballers have attended the award. The day covers all aspects of football specific movement, how to develop a sound movement foundation and then progress to the development of explosive, multidirectional, high intensity, football specific movements. Coaches will also discover how to reduce injuries, improve warm ups and performances and add variety to sessions throughout the season. The day covers easy to understand theory with a high percentage of time spent practically experiencing the application of the SAQ Continuum
