ELITE TRAINING 2.0 BRINGS TOGETHER A UNIQUE COMBINATION OF PHYSICAL ASSESSMENT AND DATA
COLLECTION. USING A SPECIFICALLY CRAFTED DIGITAL PROGRAM , PLAYER PERFORMANCES ARE CAPTURED
AND EVALUATED TO CREATE INDIVIDUAL REPORTS. PLAYERS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO NOT ONLY
UNDERSTAND HOW THEY PERFORM BUT ALSO WHERE THEY CAN IMPROVE.

GPS + 7v7
IN-GAME PERFORMANCE IS TESTED THROUGH TRACKING PLAYERS MOVEMENTS IN 7V7 MATCH
FORMATS, (DEVELOPED WITH SUPPORT FROM ARSENAL FC COACH, ARSENE WENGER) GIVING PLAYERS
A CHANCE TO SHOW THEIR ABILIT Y IN THE HEAT OF A FAST-PACED, SMALL SIDED GAME. EACH
PLAYER WEARS A NIKE PRO TOP, WHICH IS TO BE WORN DURING THE GAME. GPS TRACKING MODULES
ARE PLACED IN THE BACK OF THE NIKE PRO TOPS. THESE MODULES TRACK A PLAYERS’ MOVEMENTS
DURING THE COURSE OF PLAY INCLUDING: TOP SPEED, AVERAGE SPEED, TOTAL DISTANCE, NUMBER OF
SPRINTS, TOTAL SPRINT DISTANCE.
DYNAMIC MOVEMENT AND GREAT TECHNIQUE ARE CRITICAL TO THE SUCCESS OF EVERY PLAYER;
THE NIKE CHALLENGE DRILLS HAVE BEEN CREATED TO TEST AND DEVELOP EXACTLY THIS. DRAWING
FROM NIKE PRO CLUBS AROUND THE WORLD THESE 4 TESTS REPRESENT SKILLS THAT ARE USED
BY EVERY PLAYER AND REPLICATED MOVEMENTS AND TECHNIQUE REQUIRED IN GENUINE GAME
SITUATIONS. FINDING AN OPTIMUM LEVEL OF PERFORMANCE IS THE KEY TO BEING SUCCESSFUL. TOO
FAST AND MISTAKES WILL OCCUR FORCING PENALTY POINTS. TOO SLOW AND YOUR TIME WILL NOT BE
COMPARABLE WITH TEAMMATES.
SKILLS TESTS
SPARQ BELIEVES BETTER ATHLETES MAKE BETTER FOOTBALLERS, AND THE FIRST STEP TOWARD
IMPROVED ATHLETICISM IS ASSESSMENT. ATHLETES PARTICIPATE IN A SERIES OF FOUR FOOTBALL-
SPECIFIC DRILLS, THE RESULTS OF WHICH ARE EXPRESSED IN A SINGLE NUMBER: THE SPARQ RATING.
THE SPARQ FOOTBALL RATING IS A SNAPSHOT OF A FOOTBALLER’S ATHLETICISM. THE RATING
FOSTERS ATHLETIC DEVELOPMENT BY ALLOWING COACHES, TRAINERS AND ATHLETES TO MONITOR
PROGRESS, MAKE COMPARISONS WITH TEAMMATES AND PEERS, SET INDIVIDUAL AND TEAM GOALS
AND ADAPT TRAINING TO OPTIMIZE PERFORMANCE ON MATCH DAY.
