The Bearded Coach's Football Session Planner

“I have always struggled with session planners. They never include the sections I need, or the space to write and draw what I want.”

Football coach and coach educator Peter Prickett was frustrated with existing planners, so he decided to develop his own. Created for grassroots football coaches right through to professionals alike, it is structured around Peter’s insights and knowledge of best practice, and addresses key session aims, including: What structure am I going to use for this session? What questions will I ask of my players? How can I challenge the whole group, units, and individuals?

Incorporating detailed guidance on how to get the most out of the planner (including context, principles of play, intervention methods, session format, and more), alongside example plans to help kickstart planning, 40 blank templates are provided for you to create your own sessions. This A4 soft-cover planner uses high-quality paper and a wire-bound binding so it can be folded flat, and each template comprises two facing pages, creating an A3 working area, so the whole session can be viewed – in detail – at once.

Whether you are an occasional coach or developing teams full-time, The Bearded Coach’s Football Session Planner is a vital tool in your armoury for delivering high-quality training sessions.
