That’s why everything now lives under The Complete Footballer banner - it’s all built for motivated players who want to accelerate their improvement.

The footy season is coming to a close which means we are into the footy offseason
Do you try and improve your endurance? Your speed? Put on some size?
You try and do all of it and burn out. Or do none of it and arrive at preseason in the same spot as last year.
It doesn’t have to be like this
Identify 1 or 2 areas you want to focus on and stick to them
Consistency and direction is the key.
Take control this offseason - follow along for how

The most important kick in footy - deceptively hard to execute
Forward 50 kick connection can win you the game - missing them regularly makes the job as a forward really difficult
Drive through the pressure, then balance and take pace off the kick
Practice, reflect, adjust, repeat
Missing easy kicks in games? It’s usually your basics letting you down.
Drill balance first - stationary kicks, one leg only.
Progress to one step for hand-to-foot timing
Then build into kicking on the move
Simple progressions, but this is what makes you reliable when it counts.

🏉 That’s a wrap on this term’s School Holiday Footy Clinics!
Massive shoutout to everyone who showed up despite the wild weather!
We worked on the fundamentals, sharpened up our wet weather skills, then built the session into some match-style games to build that on-field instinct.
But above all - we had an absolute blast
We are planning to run more clinics like this into the future - so follow along and tell your friends to come to the next one 🔥
Getting bodied out of contests too easily?
Taking marks inside 50 as a key forward isn’t just about brute force - it’s about craft
Taking back shoulder, quick side changes, reacting when the kicker begins to motion for their kick
Lose your opponent with a drop step and give yourself a free run at the footy
Outsmart beats outmuscle every time
