Ian McClurg Play Pro - Group Training Program

Players/parents, 

I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a Happy New Year!

At the end of each year, I always reflect on my coaching work and seek to review how I can best support players on their individual goals for the following 12 months.

My review has concluded that our players will have an increased opportunity to achieve their individual goals if these three pillars are in place:

1) Performance Data Monitoring: Players must be benchmarking their individual performance levels versus academy players at professional clubs in the UK/Europe - and this data must be monitored on an ongoing basis. The best data to monitor is actual training and game data

2) To close the performance gaps between themselves and academy players at professional clubs in the UK and Europe - they must be working from a detailed individual learning plan which is septic to them. This is a standard practice in the world’s top academy programs. 

3) Players must be spending at least 30 mins/day on improving their technical abilities - research tells us that technical skill will ultimately decide at what level a player will play at. It is the most significant attribute for game performance.

If players can improve by 1 % day, then in 12 months they will have improved by 37 times! (James Clear) 

ANNOUNCEMENT:

During 2026 I will be transferring all y individual support to players via my own training APP. During the month of January, I am offering a FREE individual training plan (ILP) to players - see my offer below.

The players have the option of trialing my High Performance App, where I can provide players with ongoing support via text for 14 days and all players pursuing training and trials opportunities at professional clubs will be managed through this process.

Players can sign up for the FREE 14 day trial here and text me on the App for the FREE individual learning plan.

Most North American players and amateur players in leading soccer nations have no idea how their current performance compares to academy players at EPL clubs. Here’s how you can fix that 👇

🚫 The Problem:

There’s a huge knowledge gap. Players often don’t know what Premier League academy performance levels really look like — technically, tactically, physically, and mentally.

The Reality:

EPL academy players (U16–U18) have:

✅ 90%+ pass accuracy

✅ 9–11.5 km match distances

✅ 0.4–0.7 km high-speed running

✅ 70–150+ meters sprinting/game

✅ Tactical systems and pressing triggers

Why it matters:

Without knowing where you stand, you can’t set the right training goals — and that means your dream of trials or pro contracts in Europe stays just a dream.
