25.01.2022 From our TD; On Saturday night my family, experienced a truly amazing experience. Our first born reached yet another milestone in her musical career. Winning Eurovision Australia was another goal she had set herself and she wanted to win. She was asked to perform the previous year but refused because they offered her a song that wasn't to her liking. It did not define her. You see Jess does not conform to societies expectations.... This year they said you have full creative freedom so she jumped at the chance to show the world who she is, not what people think she should be. She had a vision and went about ensuring that her team could help her express that vision. Today I got to spend some time with her and I asked her about the production, I had my own view (opinion) on her performance ready to give her feedback. But once she finished explaining the process I realised that my opinion was irrelevant. She knew what she wanted because she is an artist brimming with confidence and belief in what she does. Some people are going to love her performance others are going to hate it. One thing is certain she is now set to battle for the mantle of world champion, of the most over the top song contest on the planet. We are team Montaigne all the way!

25.01.2022 To our valued clients. Due to the current situation with Covid 19 we feel that it is our duty as responsible citizens and as a socially responsible business to ensure that we do not in any way jeopardise the well being of our participants and their extended families during these difficult times. We have therefore made a decision to cancel all training for 14 days as of today. We will monitor and reassess our government's information as it is presented before we decide to st...art training again. We apologise for this inconvenience but we believe that it is the right thing to do under the current circumstances. We will organise opportunities to make up our missed sessions. Once things settle down and are back to normal. Foundation Football wishes for everyone to remain safe and to please keep an eye on those of us in our communities that are most vulnerable. Stay safe and see you soon.

25.01.2022 Nothing quite like a cold wet winter nights sessionwe constantly talk about hard work, sometimes we need to ask ourselves how kids translate those words into action. What does hard work mean to a child? How does one explain it to them in a way that encourages them to commit to it. Hard work generally means pain or discomfort, so how do we connect putting yourself through discomfort with joy? Coaching kids means finding ways to connect or associate discomfort with something that kids find enjoyable. That’s why the environment we create is the key to encouraging personal milestones

24.01.2022 Something that all kids should be taught in school

24.01.2022 Here's a sample of how we conduct our sessions. We use the game based model where the kids are fully engaged in games with specific objectives. Space is reduced and speed of thought and movement is required. The games give the kids more one on ones, more passing and more defending actions than just focusing on technique alone. We focus only on the development of the individual whilst not ignoring the team ethos. Many of our drills are done with overload using floaters to overload the attack, therefore, allowing for more successful actions. This leads into evenly matched games at the end. The principle is we learn to play the game by creating the environment that tries to replicate real game situations at all times. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbsuGr9v1KY&feature=youtu.be

22.01.2022 Many players neglect their aerial game. The ball in the air is a large part of the game. Don't forget to work on aerial skills!

21.01.2022 Yesterday is history tomorrow is a mystery today is a gift that’s why we call it the present

20.01.2022 Youth development like personal development is an infinite game, there’s the game you play to win or lose and there’s the game that never ends, constantly searching for better, the goal that ends when life ends. The goal to live a full life filled with morals, value, love and experiences that leave the world in a much better place than when you arrived. Football is not just a game it’s a vehicle to navigate life’s lessons.

19.01.2022 From age 0-7 children are in beta stage, they are not fully conscious. They are able to pretend play they a have a natural curiosity. The jesuits had a saying give me the child in the first 7 years and I’ll give you the man. We should encourage our children to develop a love for learning and a natural curiosity

19.01.2022 Our TD lives in the city, this is him across his home. When you love something, no matter what, whatever the challenges and obstacles, you make it work. I once cried because I had no shoes to play soccer, but one day, I met a man who had no feet. Zinedine Zidane

19.01.2022 The things that matter most should never be at the mercy of the things that matter least!

19.01.2022 I don’t believe skill was, or ever will be, the result of coaches. It is a result of a love affair between the child and the ball Manfred Schellscheidt

17.01.2022 Young people who dream quite often face the fact that the people around them will project their own visions of reality toward them. Arnold Palmer once said, My father did everything he could to convince me not to become a professional golfer. Phil Knight the creator of Nike says in his book shoe dog, my father saw me selling shoes as a hobby, he kept saying when are you going to get a proper job! I think our job as a parent is to nurture our children’s dreams, it’s not about killing their dream, it’s about making them understand what the dream requires and allowing them to decide how badly they want the dream to come to fruition!

17.01.2022 Today we bid a fond farewell to Presley Ortiz. He jets out to chase his dream in Portugal where he will develop his game in one of Europe's top clubs Sporting Clube de Portugal. We have been working with Presley for the past 3 months twice a week to improve his touch. Its been a pleasure working with you and we wish you all the very best in your adventure and look forward to seeing you grace the stage of European football. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_53QxG3vouc&t=223s

16.01.2022 From TD Gus Cerro: "We are a country built by migrants. The key to a successful enterprise is connectivity. To connect communities of different origins together. That is the foundation and the pillar we all must strive and build on. I am Argentinean born with parents who are ancestrally from different parts of Europe, welcomed by a thriving community like West Adelaide SC. There are a lot of memorable playing days and friendships formed, I value to this day"

16.01.2022 Limited times available for anyone wanting to do some extra work over school holidays. https://youtu.be/Mmp6LXqhkT8

15.01.2022 Youth football is played in a team but it should not be treated as a team sport the individual comes before the team or let’s put it this way before the result Anything less the institution or coach is more concerned about their reputation than the child. We have this tendency to look at a youth footballer and ask what can he give me right now rather than what is this child’s potential when he reaches the performance stage of football where it becomes team first individual second!

14.01.2022 I think we can all connect with this passage from the Governments 2030 National Sports Plan. Our children haven't changed but the world has changed and in turn, we have changed. The era of kids roaming the streets with mates has practically disappeared. Ovals and parks are relatively empty unless of course there is an adult supervising. My generation was told to check in for lunch and be home by dark! In 1992, the Australian Government of the day released Maintain the Moment...um. This was followed in 2010 by Pathways to Success and now we have Sport 2030. Across a quarter of a century, we have grappled with how to increase our participation levels, sustain and improve Australia’s performance on the international stage, protect the fairness of our competitions, and build our sports industry. What makes Sport 2030 different? 2018 is not 1992. The way we live, work and engage in sport has changed. Australia has changed around sport. Where once people planned their weeks around sporting and physical activity, today many Australians now look for sporting and physical activities that work around their week. Sport is more fragmented. Traditional sports now compete with less organised physical activities such as yoga, bushwalking, cycling, gym and park runs for the physical activity demands of Australians.

14.01.2022 The struggle you are now facing will eventually become a great source of strength for you!

13.01.2022 Term 1 begins tonight. Those who haven't yet registered a reminder that you must do so before commencing. Details for tonight on our WhatsApp group. Term 1 we focus on individual ball control. Balance and coordination with the ball are essential. In the right environment your actions become subconscious allowing you to play with your head up, this in turns allows the player to make better, faster decisions on the ball.

13.01.2022 Everyone needs a good coach!

12.01.2022 Wow look at the new residence for our SPF players in Valencia who are currently in total lockdown

12.01.2022 Developing player intelligence requires context, developing decision making requires context, developing creativity requires context, developing skill requires context. Developing technical qualities requires repetition and isolating actions with no context/defenders/rules etc. 95% of decision making skills are developed through the right ENVIRONMENT!... The learning happens in the game, through the game! You cannot develop intelligent footballers by running around poles using fancy terminology and calling it intelligence development! Player intelligence comes from playing games! Reporter: Pep how do you develop players decision making Pep: Playing games lots and lots of games

10.01.2022 What hard work and dedication gets youWe are so proud of Jess representing Australia in Rotterdam!

10.01.2022 Term 1 week 1 kicks off 5th & 7th of Feb Brennan Park Smithfield, Term 1 we focus on individual ability by working on balance and coordination with the ball the fundamentals of football. Being able to dribble is a key element to the game. Our focus is on close control dribbling and dribbling at speed. register today @ www.foundationfootball.com.au #socceracademy #sydneysoccerschool #footballcoaching #footballcoach

08.01.2022 In this time of great unrest Foundation Football, my family, our family supports an end to racism of all kinds. No one is born good or bad, no one is born racist, it is learned through environment. Now is the time to open our hearts and minds to become better versions of ourselves. To help others in their time of need. We can all make small changes that will steer us toward a better tomorrow. Change is hard but if we want this world to be a better environment for our kids we have to start seeing the world through a wider lens. Our value systems have to change.

08.01.2022 Being fit and being healthy are two completely different things, you can be fit but be unhealthy. If you want your car to run well there are multiple systems that need to be taken care of and serviced. The body is no different. Everywhere I go I see parents who are obese taking their kids to Football. If you don’t know how to feed yourself how are you going to ensure that your kids develop healthy eating habits. My kids who are now adults do not drink fizzy, sweetened drinks ...and never have. Their go to source of fluid intake is water! I try to start my day with a good healthy breakfast. My go to is oats topped with LSA flax seeds nuts sultanas dates fibre chia seeds cinnamon peanut butter banana blueberries and raspberries! Some ingredients change from time to time but that’s my usual start to the day. #goodfood #goodhealth #benutritionaware #football #soccer #footballeating #footballdevelopment #prepareforsuccess #success #champion #winningmindset

06.01.2022 Technical ability is the foundation that enables a player to look up. If you create an environment where you enable new connections via neural pathways you expand your ability in two ways. First, you become multi-directional with the ball, in other words, you are able to move in any direction in many different ways and secondly, if the exercises are repeated over and over your subconscious starts to take over the action of controlling the ball. This frees your conscious mind.... Your technical level no longer needs your conscious attention you are free to scan your surroundings, decipher information quicker and you extend your peripheral vision and distance of vision beyond the first line (football term for a short distance). The first stage of technical development is ball manipulation, walking jogging running with the ball, "learning to fall in love with the ball not the game". The second is controlling the ball, the third is passing short medium and long-range and fourth is shooting and crossing. All this is prerequisite to successful outcomes however one must also understand that this type of isolated structured training is a companion to group training. The biggest limiting factor in group training is time, therefore it is imperative that when you have groups you utilise that time to focus more on decision making and game intelligence than technique. The best way to enhance ability in football is to play football that is proportionate to the biological age, size and maturity of the individual within the group. Technique is the bodies biomechanical actions. Skill is how one implements ones biomechanical action with context. Context requires environmenmt, for example, rules, direction, opponents, objectives, pressure etc. Foundation Football aims to compliment club training. We specialise in both individual coaching and group-based activities through a problem-based learning methodology. Feel free to share or comment. www.foundationfootball.com.au

06.01.2022 A few more home training ideas!

06.01.2022 We tailor our one on one sessions for the individual. Technical skills, footwork, balance and coordination with the ball. aerial work, shooting, passing. Depending on the clients needs and level. I assess the individual on their ability. I recommend a minimum 5 week program to get the full benefit.

01.01.2022 One of our best brightest former students Kenny Dizon has graduated from his University in Colorado USA! Incredible young man who has shown us what the right attitude, hard work and opportunity brings congrats Ken time to make your stamp on the world we wish you a bright future ahead!

01.01.2022 In this country it’s not where your playing that matters it’s what your learning and the environment. You may be playing at the highest level but what’s the point if all your doing is competing at all cost!

01.01.2022 Successful athletes will attest to the environment of elite-level sports in attaining the skills required to succeed in any field. The skills one acquires in the right environment contribute to one's personality and work ethic. Therefore training to be the best that one can be, requires discipline, hard work, sacrifice and dedication among many other factors. Ultimately to attain confidence and self-belief children need the support of their parents, this requires a need to un...derstand the process of development or developing good traits and habits, especially more so via exposure and immersion. At Foundation Football school we work on these key areas of developing successful outcomes, these are: Knowledge, Skill and Desire, the intersection of which is personal habits. Our classes and private lessons are aimed at clients who possess ambition and a hunger to play football at the highest possible level. We also cater to children who are at the start of their football journey and are seeking to play at a select level.
