Periodization for Football

Joshua Smith

Periodization for football explores how to create a macro-cycle, meso-cycle and microcycle to best serve the team and athlete in question. This insight is focused around football specifically, but a lot of knowledge can be transitioned into multiple sports. Joshua explores the following areas: 

  • What is periodization? 
  • What is the background around football specific periodization? 
  • The use of small sided games. 
  • What is a macro-cycle?
  • What is a meso-cycle?
  • What is a micro-cycle?
  • Important variables to consider within a mircocycle. 
  • Differences in pre-season, in-season and off-season.

This course will help a practitioner be able to periodize accordingly and be able to ask the correct questions needed when looking at creating a plan for a group of players.
