Key Concepts

The Moment-Slice-Situation Framework

The 360TFT system centres on this framework for systematic player development that creates confident, intelligent players who perform under pressure.

16-Week Progressive Blocks

Everything connects to long-term player development through progressive 16-week blocks that link training to actual match performance.

Building Confidence While Building Competence

The methodology emphasises never exposing weaknesses without providing tools to fix them.

About the Course

This course has been shaped by over 15 years of working with players at every level of the game, from grassroots to academy. It’s built on one simple idea: Great coaching needs clarity and structure.

The course gives you a model, a framework you can trust. It takes away the guesswork and replaces it with clarity: what to teach, when to teach it, and how to make sure it sticks.
