Acceleration and Separation (AS)

Its all about speed and separating your self from your opponent as players move to a higher soccer level. When youth players continue to learn technical control of the ball at their feet, changing direction and moving with  speed will become a great asset. No matter what sport you play speed is always looked at as a beneficial strategy for defending as well as attacking.  

However, increasing ones speed is not always as easy as one might think but, I would also say its not as complicated as one might think. The first step to increasing ones speed is by learning how to run with proper "RUNNING FORM". This is the most important step of all and the sooner you learn how to run with form the more comfortable you will become with a new style of running. The second step in increasing ones speed is mostly in duplicating the RUNNING FORM. Practice and more practice with a mind on form while your running. At this stage speed is not important form is the focus.Your speed will increase significantly once your mind adjust to your new form and your utilizing it with out thinking.

The younger you are to learn the proper RUNNING FORM the better and easier it will be to become part of your natural ability. The best place to learn this proper RUNNING FORM is from a person that's taken it to its highest competitive speed platform.

The Introduction of AS - Acceleration and Separation (AS) speed training program. Trained by Angela Bailey, an Olympian medalist and Canadian woman's 100m record holder. The importance of establishing the right running form from the start is paramount to increasing once speed with confidence. The knowledge and experience of what to spot in developing form is called the eye. The eye is what Angela's  AS program brings to the forefront of increasing players speed... for total impact on or off the field. This eye is also an instinct of where and when to make adjustments to establish the proper running form and the AS speed training program lays out the correct foundation for athletes to build upon.

Has the Train Left the Station

Not every soccer player has the same body type or natural athletic ability however, when it comes to developing your technical soccer skills  and becoming the best player possible there are noticeable levels of progression (age) that apply to every player girl or boy. Each age group progression identifies where a player should be as well as what skill they should of obtained. Prematurely jumping to far or bypassing the early critical years (8 - 12 yrs) of you technical soccer development is complexly irreversible. Staying true and focused on developing ball control, touches, balance, turns and other valuable technical field skills required is the major key to soccer success. Once a younger player masters the basics their fun level increases ten fold, they get constant offers from top tier teams at the other spectrum other players that mainly focused on scoring goals and winning are now starting to struggle with their basic fundamental control and get discouraged.

 Don't get me wrong you can still train and develop technical skill at age 12 and up but, the vital mussel to memory touches on the ball pays big dividends moving forward at a younger age group.

A good example is my daughter -  a good player at the SRSL elite and OYSL (u97) level. She has a good chance in 2013 to be rewarded with a Provincial tryout. However, what if she had just focused on her technical soccer skills at the onset... for the first five years and was assessed over that time to make sure she was on the right path. Has her train left the station? I would say no. Is she on it? I would say no. I've witnessed (at no fault of the player and its quite sad) when a train leaves the station and the player is not on it. okay so, the metaphor her is "train" means "opportunity" and "station" means "event in time".

Missed opportunities don't have to be repeated. Learning from passed experiences can only strengthen future possibilities. Renegades Of Girls Soccer is taking its knowledge on the road to share, educate, assess and empower future competitive soccer players in the range of 8-12yrs. The players in the age group 13-15yrs would be looked at from a different perspective of assessment. Now players 16-18yrs this is what I call the "payoff" are you ready or do you need to fine tune some areas of your soccer arsenal.

Delayed gratification over instant gratification is what a parent and player should embrace as long as possible at least to age (12yrs) twelve. I would even say "always work on improving your technical skill, speed and control way into adulthood". Closing your eyes on your daughters development and hoping all works out for the best is like playing the Loto and hoping your (daughters) is one of the winners.Yes, There are winners but, there are also lots of looser too.

My approach is to empower and create winners "high potential soccer players". Be proactive...doing an independent assessment out side of your club and team and this will give you a real unbiased and fair opinion of where your child is with their soccer level and skill.

I have made my self available for those parents (in competitive soccer or thinking of entering) that are interested in getting an one hour assessment done.  You will receive a filled out emailed assessment form for your daughter, verbal feedback, advice and if requested referrals to specific improvement areas.

I feel in Canada something is missing when it comes to grass roots soccer development - am I wrong? let me know through post feedback and if your interested in booking an assessment contact me at db.donbailey21@gmail.com or call 416.788.1920.
