• The footballer's nutrition — Food, hydration, recovery. The nutrition fundamentals adapted to amateur football — without falling into pro dietetics no one can follow.
• Technique and Tactics — Scanning, game vision, technical skills, tactical principles. The player's brain and feet, trained together.
• Positional play (getting started) — Positional play made simple: the 3 superiorities, the wide channels and half-spaces, triangles and the rondo. Clear principles and diagrams to help your team play better, even if you are just starting out.
• Transitions (getting started) — Winning and losing the ball: the often decisive moments of a match. Attacking transition, defensive transition, counter-pressing — explained simply, with diagrams and instructions you can use at your very next session.
• Set pieces: turn them into a weapon — The strategies that produce goals from set pieces — the way Arsenal have made it a speciality. Blocks and screens to free a player, decoy runs, combination corners, long throw-ins, free-kick routines: real routines to copy and rehearse.
• Formations (getting started) — 4-4-2, 4-3-3, 4-2-3-1: learn to read a system, to know its strengths and weaknesses, and to choose the one that really fits your players. With full 11-a-side diagrams and a comparison table.
• Injury prevention — Football is the sport with the greatest exposure to injury: proprioception, balance, targeted strengthening and a progressive return to play to keep your players available.
• Recovery — Most of the body's adaptations do not happen during practice but during recovery: sleep, nutrition, hydration and every way to recover quickly and well.
• Warm-up — The warm-up has two physiological roles: preventing injuries and preparing for performance, by raising muscle temperature and then body temperature.
• Coordination and Motor Skills — The golden age for developing coordination and motor skills: methods, planning and playful exercises suited to U8-U12.
• Physical prep basics — Youth — The reference for the physical preparation of young players (U6-U17): growth and maturation, golden ages, what to do and what NOT to do, programming by age group, exercises and equipment.

• Small-sided games: the method — The method for building and dosing your small-sided games instead of picking them at random: setting the space, the number of players, the touches and the instructions to choose your physical or tactical emphasis. With a calibration grid for each format (from 1v1 to 8v8), numerical benchmarks (area per player, set durations) and diagrams.
• Defending as a team (the block) — Defending as a block of eleven, not as eleven individuals: block height (in metres), compactness (the distances between the lines), shifting and coordinated pressing with its triggers and PPDA. Numerical benchmarks and diagrams to organise your team without the ball.
• Training every position — A goalkeeper, a defender, a midfielder and a forward do not experience the same match: position by position, the real demands (backed by GPS figures) and how to prepare for them. A simple method — observe, list, target — and a template session that combines individualised work and team play, goalkeeper included.
• Scanning: see before you receive — The best player is not always the fastest: it is often the one who has already looked around before receiving. What Geir Jordet's research on scanning shows, the 3 questions to ask yourself and the training constraints that get a player to arrive with the decision already made.
• 8-a-side, 7-a-side and 9-a-side football — Everything about small-sided football for U11-U13 youth coaches: the official FFF dimensions and rules (including offside at the halfway line), the 8-a-side, 7-a-side and 9-a-side systems, and the simple principles. Development before results, rotating positions and a gentle preparation for the move to 11-a-side football.
• Coaching a women's team — Football itself does not change: a few settings do. The risk of ACL rupture (2.8 times higher) and the prevention programme that halves it, load and the menstrual cycle, energy availability and iron, the growth of young female players, and the practical conditions that make players stay or leave. Every figure is sourced.
