Here are a few principles you can use to guide your training, playing, and thought process around your development.

I must emphasize again: Always attempt to hold fascial tension during all movement (that includes while you are playing).

So what do you do if you have no one to play with or need to sharpen some of your football skills?

You tap into your own drive. You push your limits. You push past your limits. Walk the edge of your ability to push it wider step by step.

This can be done with shooting, dribbling, passing (with a wall or partner), or even sprinting (which is a skill).Mo

The maximal intent principle can and should be applied from 1v1 all the way to 11v11.

• One day a week try to play a lot of football. Multiple matches or 4 hours of pickup small sided play. Small 5-10 minute breaks are okay. This forces the body to rely on fascia once muscle fatigues. Go deep to get more out. Then rest a lot next day.
  
  If you're in-season then just consider this when you play multiple games in a short amount of time (3-4 days).
• One day a week should be a rest day
• You must apply fascial tension (retract the toes, puff out your BOF, and tension the foot) during all movements. This includes running, shooting, dribbling, juggling, everything! If you keep feeling the wrong sensations (low back, quads, or calves) then don't expect new results. You must hold tension correctly to get the desired results.
• Let the molding happen naturally in cycles. This is what I mean when I say "rinse, wash, repeat". Improvements will come in small increments and then one day you'll wake up and all of sudden feel like everything came overnight.
• Once you've hit Level 2 and can hold ankle stiffness enough to feel burning in the ankle/arch while running, you can go for 10-15 minute jogs to help build ankle stiffness and glute connection. Barefoot on grass will be best to start with and then build up to barefoot running shoes (Xeros) on concrete.
• All the Entangled Athletics won't magically make your athleticism and football skills go from 0 to 100. You still have to run, play, and train to integrate this new upgrades.
• Notice on TV the ankle stiffness and fascial tension of top pros. It's hidden in plain sight. Once what was invisible to you will become clear. Watch and internalize what you are becoming.
• It's a process of one step back two steps forward. The human body is changing its neurological movement strategies from muscle-driven to fascial-driven. Things might feel harder or different at first, but it'll pass. This work is permanent. It won't leave you.

Aim to play small sided games 2-4x week. Team training can replace that.

Play 11v11 1-2x week. This can decrease the amount of SSG needed.

Peak Harmony Training and bodyweight work can be done on the same days as small-sided and individual training.

Do individual or partner training 1-2x week

You must alter the above based on your team trainings and other responsibilities. Be sensible. No need to run yourself into the ground.
