I wanted to share this special moment with a brief overview of his process over the years. We've followed many of the tools, resources and the system you see here in our community. Kamilo has been disciplined, dedicated, patient and persistent over the years and we are so proud of him and his progress. Hopefully this helps motivate others who are on a similar path as him.

Hello everyone, in this video, I discuss the common challenges young footballers face, such as lack of clarity, structure, and exposure in their training routines. Many athletes train only two to three times a week, which is insufficient for optimal performance, especially compared to those in professional academies who have more training opportunities. I propose a structured training week that identifies gaps for additional training, along with specific exercises to fill those gaps effectively.

What's your name or nickname? Age? My name is Thiago and I'm 13 years old. Where are you from? What position do you play? I'm from Ecuador and I play in the attacking midfield. What do you plan to get from the community? I want to get a better structure for my training and train my mentality. Nice to meet you guys 🙋‍♂️

Deceleration training matters because football isn’t just sprinting—it’s stopping, cutting, and re-accelerating hundreds of times. - Performance: The fastest players aren’t only quick… they can slam on the brakes under control and change direction without losing balance. Better decel = sharper cuts, quicker transitions, cleaner first step after the stop. - Injury reduction: Most non-contact injuries happen during hard stops and direction changes. Strong deceleration (especially eccentric strength) helps protect the knee, groin, hamstring, and ankle when forces spike. - Efficiency & endurance: If you brake well, you waste less energy “slipping” and can repeat high-intensity actions longer. Simple way to say it: Speed is the gas—deceleration is the brakes. Great footballers have both.

Don’t just jog a couple laps and do random stretches. A real pre-pitch routine is intentional: you raise your temperature, activate the right muscles, and progressively build to game speed—so your first hard sprint, cut, or tackle isn’t your warm-up.
