How you build your trainings ???

I play almost 1,5 years here already. Looking over video I set to itself a the same question: how exactly do players build trainings?

Interests me how many time outlaid in training on new tricks, old tricks, copulas for a beginning player which owns base tricks only. What periods are divide training? For example: 50 days something one, then complications of tricks begin et cetera.

I guess this question requires a much more detailed response than the one I am going to give, but at least it will be a start

Firstly I barely plan ahead with my training at all. I work on the things I think need work, but I don't think about what I'll do in future training sessions, just that one.

Secondly I almost entirely practice moves I can already do. Towards the end of a session I may have a crack at some new tricks, but that's mainly just messing around. If I could consistently hit all the tricks I have hit in footbag, I'd be one of the best players in the world. Although I don't care at all about my ability in comparison to other people, I think that's a fairly good indication that getting better at what I can do is much more important than learning anything new. I also find that with this kind of attitude, on the rare occasions that I do hit new tricks, they are already fairly easy.

Thank you that answered.

I will describe that do, and you will estimate as far as correctly.

First always on training I make a plan which always execute. A plan operates more frequent only 10 days. he is complicated then.

Training is begun with a limbering-up. Standard exercises. Then I play tiltless. I do combinations on both legs, kicking ( I try to kicking in general between interruptions). Training, broken on a few sub-groups goes further - on sets or tricks which I train or want to do. Every point of the program is from 2 to 8 tricks. This point is executed from both feet for 2 times. If it is long - only one time.

Such points in my program 22 - 23. Programs for me while two. For example even days - â„–1, not even - â„–2.

As far as is it correct? Does interest me how many need to be done repetitions, it is possibly needed to shorten the program in a benefit long strings?

P.S. Now I play every day non-stop at a stretch 48 days.

Training for me is very large because I am afraid that will forget some tricks, if will not repeat. Therefore I am forced to do trainings volumes on tricks, but small to on long in strings.

Need help

I appreciate your enthusiasm but please do us a favor and edit your posts with new information, rather than triple post

.

Take a look around the forums I think you'll find a lot of the answers your looking for under Trick-Tips and Health & Injuries.

As far as my "training" goes, it's similar to what Jeremy described.

Vasek once told me the secret to footbag, practice. It looks like your on the right track. If you want to learn all those concepts, practice practice practice them. And in general if you can hit a trick, great; now try and perfect it.

Here are a few things that I do now, that I wish I had done when I started.

1. Every time I play, I have a warm-up routine. It usually goes something like: 150 kicks, then 20 alternating toe stalls, then alternating clippers and clipper drills, then long and varied tiltless runs, then BOP practice, and only after that do I start actually playing. Warming up is not only a good way to avoid injury, it also is a good excuse to practice your foundation.

2. I try to avoid trying the same trick over and over again. If I'm really going for a trick or a combo, I make a point to take breaks in between. If I can't hit a trick the first couple times, what makes me think I'll hit it when I'm out of breath and my heart is racing? Be smart about how you approach a trick.

3. Having a blog helped me keep track of my progress, and having a challenge thread helped give me new ideas and goals which aided my progress.

4. Drink lots of water when you play. If you see you are sweating a ton, mixing gatorade and water can be good.

5. When you finish playing, eat some protein within 30 minutes of finishing your exercise. I tend to have yogurt, a protein bar, and a glass of milk. I also like to have a banana to help avoid cramps the next day.

6. The secret to getting good at anything is putting in the time to practice. Even a bad session is good as long as you put adds on the shoes.
