To improve your athletic performance in your sport and take your game to the next level, you can’t just keep playing the game and hope for the best.

You need to put in effort on your own time—outside of practice and game day—to become the best player you can be.

That means: You need to train.

And private training is the best way to get the most out of your training. Training for a specific sport on your own time with a professional can help you:

  • Develop your skills in a specific area
  • Get stronger and faster
  • Enhance your flexibility and range of motion
  • Improve your overall athleticism and performance

All of these benefits can lead to improved performance on the field, court, or ice. And that can mean the difference between winning games and losing games.

Private Soccer Training

As a sport, soccer leads the world in participation numbers. And here in Denver, FAST Performance provides expert-level private soccer training to help players improve their skills and take their game up a notch.

If soccer is your game, private training with an experienced, certified coach can help you master the fundamentals as well as advanced moves and techniques. Everything from becoming faster and more agile, to proper shooting technique, to how to make better crosses, to how to better defend against an opponent, and more can be covered in private training sessions.

It’s not that you can’t learn these kind of things in a group setting—but when it’s just you and the coach, you’re more likely to get the individualized attention you need to really master those skills. It might take longer to learn than in a group setting, and you might not get as much out of the training.

And if you progress fast in certain areas, you don’t need to spend as much time of your time on things you may have already mastered. If you’re signed up in private soccer training as opposed to group training‚ you can move on to other things. Denver’s FAST Performance has a staff of experienced, certified coaches who can work with you one-on-one to help you improve your soccer game.

Private Hockey Training

Ice hockey is said to be the second most popular sport in Colorado (at least as far as the fans are concerned—the number of pro hockey players is much smaller!), and if you’re one of those players here in Denver, private hockey training can help you master the skills you need to take your game to the next level—and beyond.

Private lessons with a coach can help you master things like proper stick-handling technique, how to better shoot the puck, and how to better execute body checks. You might also work on specific skills like skating backward, turning, and stopping. You can learn injury prevention techniques, and you can learn how to better condition your body for peak performance on the ice.

All these things can help you become a better hockey player—and a more valuable team member. When it comes to private hockey training in Denver, FAST Performance has the experience and the expertise you need to take your game up a notch (or two).

Again, it’s very possible to learn these things in a group. But when it’s just you and the coach, you’re more likely to get the individualized attention you need to really master those skills, in less time. Your coach can see where you need help—and where you don’t—and can adjust your training accordingly.

Private Training for Other Sports

Obviously, the same goes for other sports. Private baseball training can help you learn the mechanics of pitching or hitting more efficiently. Private football training can help you improve your footwork or learn proper tackling technique more efficiently.

No matter what sport you’re involved in, private training can more effectively help you refine your skills, perfect your techniques, and get your game to that next level.

In general, private sports training is more expensive than group training. But the benefits are usually worth the extra cost. After all, you’re getting one-on-one attention from a coach who can tailor the sessions to your specific needs.

The more time you can spend working one-on-one with a coach, the better your chances of becoming a top athlete in your sport.

Why One-on-One Training Can Beat Group Training

The operative word above is “can.” Let’s be clear: There’s nothing wrong with team training or training in a group setting—these things are extremely rewarding for participants. Not to mention that the social aspect is an added benefit for many people.

And that said, private training isn’t for everyone. However, it is for those athletes who truly wish to master their sport. Here’s a quick look at some of the benefits that private performance training has over training in a more traditional group setting:

1. You’ll receive individualized attention and instruction.

No matter how experienced or skilled a coach is, it’s physically impossible to give individualized attention to every athlete in a group. You’re getting their undivided attention when you’re training with a coach one-on-one. They can tailor the workouts to your specific needs and goals.

2. You can work at your own pace and level.

In private training, you can push yourself as hard or as easily as you want. The coach can adjust the workouts to your level, so you’re always challenged but never overwhelmed.

3. You can focus on your weak points.

Private training gives you the opportunity to focus on your weak points and turn them into strengths. The coach can identify your weaknesses and design exercises and drills to help you improve in those areas.

4. You’ll get more out of your training.

Because private training is more focused and tailored to you, you’re likely to get more out of it than you would from group training. In a private setting, the coach can really push you and help you reach your potential.

5. You can learn new techniques and strategies.

In a private training setting, the coach can teach you new techniques and strategies that you can use in your sport. They can also show you how to properly execute those techniques so you can get the most out of them.

6. You’ll be able to focus on your specific goals.

With private training, you can focus on your specific goals and achieve them. The coach can help you plan to reach your goals and ensure you’re on track.

7. You may receive more personal feedback and criticism.

It’s important to get honest feedback and criticism if you want to improve as an athlete. In a private setting, a coach can give you that continuous feedback without singling you out in front of a group, or hurting the morale of other athletes who aren’t quite on your level yet.

8. You’ll have a more personal feeling of support and motivation.

Training one-on-one gives you a more personal feeling of support and motivation from your coach. In a group setting, it can be easy to get lost or feel like you’re not progressing as fast as you should be. With private training, your coach can help keep you on track and motivated to reach your goals.
