Philosophy & Methodology

Philosophy

• Skillability Soccer Training’s philosophy is based around the 4 pillars of the game. Technical, Tactical, Physical and Psychological. Our goal is to help develop well rounded & highly effective players by bridging the gap between team practices and individual training. 

• We do this by focusing on all 4 pillars at the same time and not isolated or separate from each other. The primary focus of each session is to help our players improve their technical and physical abilities and challenge them to better understand the tactical and mental aspects of the game.

• We accomplish this by using developmentally appropriate ( age and skill level) training methods and proven techniques. 

• Our unique and proven model developed and created by Thuto Nhlekisana from over 15 years of experience working with hundreds of players of varying ages, and abilities from beginners, recreational players to competitive club and professional players, has been proven to develop players technical ability to the next level.

Coach directed – Player centered – for a balanced approach

1. Simple to Complex ( progressive training) (Coaching)
2. Basic Model of Learning ( Coach Actions) ( Teaching)

1. Simple to Complex – The activities should be designed in such a way that simpler concepts or skills are presented first before more complex ones.
