NexGenPlay Method
After more than 10 years of training and practical application in countries such as Spain, Canada, Switzerland, and Japan, among others, we have developed a methodological approach where the Training-Learning Process plays an essential role. Within the Training-Learning Process, we have 3 Major Areas:
Interaction Roles:
- Simplify the game by becoming versatile in multiple positions while maintaining your unique style.
Spatiotemporal Variables:
- Add intention to every action and take control both with and without the ball.
Sensory Stimulation:
- Enhance your instincts and sensory control to master your body in extreme situations.
Discomfort Scenarios:
- Face and overcome challenges to build confidence and stay calm under pressure.
Firstly, Framework focuses on a Pre-During-Post Training Action Protocol. This protocol allows us to promote healthy habits both on and off the field. From proper preparation before training to effective recovery after the session. But above all, we are committed to stimulating our young footballers through values that will help them develop social and emotional skills for both individual growth and strengthening personal relationships.
Secondly, Development focuses on Competence Guidance. We recognize that each player is at a unique developmental stage, and we tailor a custom-fit suit to meet their individual needs. By understanding and respecting differences in physical, technical, tactical, and mental development, we can optimize each footballer’s progress through our intervention.
Lastly, Performance allows us to Design Sessions and Tasks adapted to the context in which we find ourselves. Here, we create a dynamic and stimulating learning environment that promotes the acquisition of knowledge and skills meaningfully. And we do this through training sessions where the game is our main ally, seeking to inspire intrinsic motivation and commitment to the process of continuous improvement.
