Everything an academy player needs to Keep Moving Forward, plus many more
OUR ETHOS
& VALUES.
At Integer, the core ethos is encapsulated in the phrase “Keep Moving Forward”, promoting continuous growth and improvement in all aspects of life.
With a decade of experience in teaching, and over three decades in football coaching, our values are rooted in Simon Clifford’s expertise in self-development, learning best-practices and the identification of 132 key aspects that define the perfect footballer.
These are organised into four key areas, demonstrating Integer’s dedication to holistic development and excellence in both performance and personal wellbeing.
-
A Premier League football player will run, on average, approximately 11k in a single match. This will include short, sharp sprints and sustained fast-paced running to cover ground. Surrounding this you have to also be physically strong and robust enough to challenge for the ball and take physical contact.
Fitness is key, as is balance, strength, agility and power. Within your bespoke programme we will work on all of these with you individually through our sessions and home training programme with our team quickly identifying what will help you in your physical development to get the most from your body, and prepared for the highest levels of the game.
-
At the top level of any sport, the elite levels of technical ability separate the good from the great. Inspired by Simon Clifford’s experience of futebol de salao, we focus on the technical skills needed to make it to the top. Each individual has their own position-specific technical training programme - the results of which are outstanding.
We also provide tactical training within your programme, focusing on the needs of universality at the elite levels of today’s game where you may be expected to be able to play multiple positions for your team. Archie Gray is a great example of this. You will begin to learn how your position(s) works as part of the whole team system and nuances in that.
-
The psychological development of our players is one of the most prominent areas we focus on. In our experience of working with players of different ages and at various points in their footballing journey - from grassroots to international player - we understand the psychological demands of the game and what it takes to navigate this mentally.
Simon has identified tools and traits to support you in this, across all ages. The Integer Football programme includes elements of goal setting, reflection and character development and more. This will drive you forward in all areas of your life, from relationships at home to performance on the pitch or in school.
Through the the completion of psychology-specific sessions within our syllabus, the Integer Football programme equips you with the training, support and expertise to be the best you can be, in all areas of your life.
-
The Integer Football programme focusses on and encourages good daily habits, with our mentorship and guidance helping you to develop discipline and life performance in the small daily tasks that add up over time. Discipline equals freedom.
Integer Football promotes and offers support in habits around all areas of life, from nutrition and sleep, to reading and relationships with those around you.
We understand that the key to being the best football player lies within being the best person as a whole; often it is what you are doing outside of ‘training hours’ that will set you apart. Forming good habits and leading the most disciplined and productive life that you can is something that we really support and work on as part of the Integer Football programme.
