From the show into the art: new Era of the sport #1 - "Mindful Soccer"
Which know-how will bring the modern football on a totally new level and why? How to establish the own non-stop production of the world-class stars of a brand new generation and ensure a truly sensational breakthrough for a small football club or a national team of a small country within only 1 year? What is the future of the sport number one after its greatest ever revolution?
All these and other burning questions were finally answered by a sports scientist with enormous practical experience as a sportsman, coach, sports doctor and simply awesome football inventor - Mr.Yurii Demydenko.
Mr.Yurii Demydenko - football innovator, researcher and founder of "Ultra-effective Football Training".
=================================================================================
Mr.Demydenko, nice to meet you and your web-site! How are you doing?
Yurii Demydenko: Am fine, thank you. But pretty busy with our brainchild...
Which brainchild do you mean?
Yurii Demydenko: Our know-how. The unique system of mindful training and performance.
Sounds really interesting but you are obviously not the first one who would like to make an upgrade in football. Could you please explain how you came up with this idea and what exactly drives you?
Yurii Demydenko: First of all I?d like to emphasize that it?s much more than just an "upgrade". The idea to create a system of ultra-effective soccer training was caused by new ideas in player development and team coaching based on comprehensive knowledge of football and secret capabilities hidden in the human body. Being at first player and then a senior coach in various teams I always tried to use not only the common modern methods, techniques and drills but also every time tried out my own, new ones. Spending a plenty of time on analysis I surprisingly discovered that the greatest results and the best performance of my teams and individual players were caused exactly by the new, own invented and developed training "tools". On the other hand, the existing ones were not even able to extract the minimum of that. Again and again my players moved to the better clubs but I still could establish the new ones and collective performance remained just as well. I finally understood that the most skills and qualities both individual and collective, can be completely developed with the new approach.
And what happend after your experiments had proven successful?
Yurii Demydenko: It motivated me to continue my research and make a training system where every detail counts, a system where you not only master every needed skill but furthermore turn it to a conscious, self-regulating ability. I knew that it?s the only way to extract the full potential in performance. Higher education in medicine, sport, psychology and allied sciences, almost achieved degree of International Master of Sports and many years of the own experience as a sportsman and trainer in football and athletics have largely helped me on this way. So after thorough development we finally managed to establish our own revolutionary concept of player development.
So what is the essense of "Ultra-effective Football Training"? Could you at least partially disclose the secret of its success?
Yurii Demydenko: Basically we take apart the whole performance, improve each affecting factor separately and only then we compose all the upgraded skills and qualities in a brand new unit and thus largely better performance. That?s all.
In other words we cut open performance for comprehensive insight and purposefully work out each performance component of each individual player and the whole team together - both apart and integrated. In this way we consistently fix all the problems, comprehensively improve all the sides of performance and ultimately control the success. That?s how we make a difference.
But how can you quickly improve such difficult, various and numerous play components?
Yurii Demydenko: Based on the special training drills and methods we establish unique training conditions where a sensational number and frequency of repeats, brand new high-efficient techniques and on top of that full mindfulness of learning enable players to gain all the qualities, skills and experience phenomenally fast. And in this way to deliver a better performance in each training and each game. Thus due to enormous progress tempo and wide range of mastery we manage to solve one of the most painful problems in modern football - having two interchangeable line-ups for successful rotation during the whole season.
"Practice makes perfect"?
Yurii Demydenko: Its quality does. Many more play actions, many more decisions, many more game situations and many more repeats permeated with the absolute mindfulness in every second of play. This is what we comprehensively call ultra-effective football training where everyone can everything.
Genious! Arent you afraid that somebody could misuse your know-how?
Yurii Demydenko: Apply knowledge without knowing? What we provide can be extracted only by purposeful trainings with a new generation of mindful specialists.
How long did it take you to make your phenomenal training system?
Yurii Demydenko: The formal backbone itself took several months. We determined the main areas, methods and levels of development. Based on many years of the previous experience and numerous experiments I came to a very important conclusion: results in sports can grow extremely fast every training based on comprehensive knowledge of human nature, one?s individual qualities as well as general and specific principles. An example: the number of powerful shots has increased after only one workout by about 150% and this indicator was progressively growing every training.
Woha! How is it possible?
Yurii Demydenko: As you know there are 3 stages of regeneration: immediate - during the training, deferred - after the training and cumulative - after a session of trainings. If you comprehensively understand how it works in terms of the general human nature and individual features of a particular sportsman you can work out an optimal training cycle to extract the inconceivable results based on the so called "super-regeneration effect".
Hard to believe... Such a sensational progress every training?
Yurii Demydenko: Our idea is to make every single second crucial. But the greatest discovery occurred afterwards. On the 5th training session the number of full-power shots exceeded 2000 and only then we stopped the counting. In that training we experienced a great breakthrough, not by percentage but by several times. It was the aforesaid "overcompensation effect" in action. My idea of human capabilities was absolutely overturned.
How can you explain it?
Yurii Demydenko: That training was carried out exactly in the phase of super-regeneration - physical, mental and emotional. So it was a multiple overall effect.
Incredible! We discussed the growth of the shooting power and quantity. What about its accuracy?
Yurii Demydenko: I have highlighted only one of the shooting workout types. There are also other very important workouts that are aimed at the development of crucial sniper qualities. It wouldn?t make sense to explain them detailed now but it worth mentioning that we "don?t run before we can stand". So our training is based on consistency and step by step improvement. Moreover, we exploit the "overcompensation effect" by 100%.
Ok. The principle of super-regeneration is in general clear. But are there any other basic principles that you use in the player development?
Yurii Demydenko: Sure. One of the following principles is the super-intensity of trainings that largely exceeds the competition intensity and the principle of effective technical perfecting of all football components.
Could you explain the principle of super-intensity please?
Yurii Demydenko: Just one example to clarify. In an average game a soccer player makes at best about 5-10 shots - it?s the competition intensity. And the usual shooting intensity in trainings is max. 20-30 shots by each player per training.
You mean the small quantity or too low frequency?
Yurii Demydenko: The both. Our innovative workouts enable a player to make over 60 shots per minute. And now only imagine how soon and how great it affects the scoring skills and the whole performance.
60 shots in 60 seconds? It must have had a sensational impact on conversion of scoring chances...
Yurii Demydenko: Furthermore, everything what I say was thoroughly tested and repeatedly checked by me and my numerous players in practice. Ultimately the number and the frequency of shots in a shooting training displays its intensity.
Well, what would you say then about the training process in the world?s best teams?
Yurii Demydenko: I have never heard that some club or national team had a specialized shooting workout, let alone such an intensity level.
But it doesnt mean that they don?t have such an important training aspect in fact!
Yurii Demydenko: Watch any match and you will realize that even if they have, it barely brings the needed quality in the game. Even the best players do not seem to have a full control of the shot. The very concept of the "shooting training" in this context was developed by me.
Each player makes min. 500-1000 injury-free shots per training with over 90% conversion. I am not sure that something like that is possible even in a month of usual trainings. The principles of super-intensity and super-efficiency can and should be applied not only in terms of quantity, accuracy, and power of shots but also in the development of other important qualities and skills like quickness, specific endurance, specific agility etc..
Now got it. You also mentioned the principle of the effective technical perfecting of all components?
Yurii Demydenko: Perfect technique is in fact the most individually convenient execution of each football component. This means minimal possible effort and maximal possible effect in passing, shooting, running, duels etc.. The utmost efficiency can be achieved only based on tailor-made, individually convenient execution of each element. Only super-intensive and super-competitive training allows to identify and correct all possible problems on time and optimize performance. Both trainers and players must comprehend and apply clear-cut efficient programms and settings to master any technical component easy and fast. Often we first needed to rebuild available performance limiting skills from scratch before teaching the new ones, even in case of mature, established players.
So, as I understand your idology of mindful soccer considers 3 crucial rules: super-effectiveness, super-intensity and super-regeneration?
Yurii Demydenko: Exactly. They are very important on the way to the quality one never had and performance one never showed.
Nowadays one of the main problems in any club is the huge number of various injuries among the players. What if the super-intensity exacerbates the problem? How to cope with it?
Yurii Demydenko: It?s a very pertinent question. Being a qualified sporting doctor and practising sporting scientist I can responsibly declare - this training System reduces the number of injuries to the minimum.
But how?
Yurii Demydenko: Firstly, due to the specialized physical loads exceeding the maximal loads in the games and compliance with the regeneration cycle. In this way all ligaments, muscles and the entire locomotor system incredibly strengthen which means an efficient injury prevention. Secondly, special trainings aimed at avoidance of contact injuries. And, thirdly, specific settings which we embed into players? mind, to prevent the most unwanted injuries.
Impressive! May I ask if you have any other training types with author methods?
Yurii Demydenko: It?s only the beginning. Using the Dao?s natural dynamic balance between opposites we have developed unconventional result oriented training types with over 50 exclusive author methods:
shooting and counter-shooting
technical and counter-technical
pressing and anti-pressing
set-pieces and defending them
collective interactions and countering them (tactical)
running training
goalkeeper training
recuperation training (efficient energy transformation)
psychophysical training
mental training
spiritual training
theoretical preparation
Also, we have developed a system of brand new, clear-cut indicators to evaluate performance quality and performance improvement both individual and collective. In fact, it is important not only for more effective player development but also for more effective player selection.
The most titles are pretty clear but what is the innovation?
Yurii Demydenko: Let me explain it on the example of the shooting training. This innovation consists of 7 workout methods which aim at the development of special qualities and skills needed for a scoring shot. One of them should develop the accuracy and the shooting endurance, the second - the power and shooting endurance based on the stiffness of player?s shooting system. The third method aims at the development of quickness of the shooting system and shooting endurance. Additionaly there are several training types that combine all these qualities. Finally, after mastering all the single qualities (accuracy, power, quickness and endurance) we carry out integrative under-pressure-trainings with the limited space, time and toughest counteractions.
What is the essense of such an integrative training?
Yurii Demydenko: It?s a test for the collective skill to create the maximal quantity of contextual scoring chances with their maximal conversion and contrariwise efficient neutralizing of the scoring opportunities of the rival. Players must have already comprehensively developed all the needed single basic skills. The intensity and mutual countering in all these aspects should be much higher than in the competition. And most importantly the both sides get diverse settings for implementation in the play but still retain enough freedom and flexibility of decisions. It allows to develop improvisation and creativity which are one of the most important abilities for a player.
What do you mean under the "contextual scoring chances"?
Yurii Demydenko: It is maximal utilization of all the weaknesses, mistakes and gaps of the opponent and of the own strengths.
Sounds too demanding since even with the naked eye we can see how poor the conversion of chances in modern football is...
Yurii Demydenko: We consistently work to enable players to convert every real scoring chance. First of all based on specific conversion trainings and also using the own mental settings and actions that force and exploit specific mistakes of the rivals and their main problems.
What about "bad luck" and how important is good luck for you?
Yurii Demydenko: For professional who earns millions "bad luck" is an unaffordable luxury and it can not be a respectful excuse. Soccer is not a roulette. Obviously and basically, luck is nothing more than sufficient mastery. You either want and score from 30 m distance into the right top corner from the crossbar or don?t say you were out of luck.
Earlier samurai squads were recruiting only those warriors who could hit the moving target 10 times out of 10 attempts. The rest were filtered to the lower levels. A warrior who had 5 hits out of 10 got the lowest salary. Now think, how many modern players could actually be called "players" if those requirements would be applied in football? Messi and C.Ronaldo are both far from such rates, let alone the others. And it can only mean that we still use only 5-8% of our real capabilities, so our goal is to keep researching and turning the remaining 92-95% into performance enhancement.
Fantastic! Is every training type as unique and revolutionary as the shooting workout with its 7 levels?
Yurii Demydenko: For example, the technical workout, shortly "Kata", includes 24 levels with numerous methods and areas of development. It ranges from the individual ball control up to the collective levels. From the slow up to diverse extremely fast technical challenges and multi-tasks.
Sounds great! By the way, do you use your qualification in psychology to develop players?
Yurii Demydenko: It is one of the most powerful tools. After the long preparation we managed to develop the program of "psychological and mental transformation" for pro footballers and adapted the famous "EST" [Erhard Seminars Training] to the specific needs of the modern football. The main task of our psychological approach is to upgrade player?s thinking and perception, transform it to disclose the hidden capabilites and involve his maximal potential. Moreover, we specifically work to achieve the full concentration on a conscious level, so that player can control it and keep it for the 90+ minutes in every game. In addition, we use advanced, time-tested and soccer-adapted NLP-technologies [Neuro Linguistics Programming] at all training stages. Ideally, we want players to progress even out of training and furthermore we possess everything needed for that.
That?s interesting! Seems like every single player gains the champion mentality and psychology?
Yurii Demydenko: De facto. But besides individual development of players we also provide a brand new level of mutual understanding and teamwork in squad which incredibly multiplies the ultimate outcome. So as a former senior coach I should admit that only after being fully applied to the whole club and to each of its teams this system will show its true maximum.
Is there anything you would like to improve about your system?
Yurii Demydenko: There will always be we a potential for optimization. It?s a non-stop research and we permanently seek for new ideas to become even better. For now we are going to investigate some aspects of differential training mode mentioned by Prof. Norman Schultz - our German colleague who is considered a reputable specialist and researcher in the field of mindful learning.
Do you already realize your project in some Ukrainian or Russian club?
Yurii Demydenko: Only progressive, sagacious and really open minded football society is able to go an innovative way and prove to be a mature environment to release the full potential of such a project. Modern football is not only about sporting results and thinking about tomorrow is hardly the highest priority in some countries.
Are there any chances for a football club with a minimal budget or a national team of a small or poor country to make a breakthrough in the modern football using your methodology?
Yurii Demydenko: God created man, Sam Colt made them equal. I am not Sam Colt and as soon as such a national team, a soccer club or an academy will get this know-how, they will obtain everything they need to dominate the soccer world. And within max. 2 years they will get ahead of the soccer world long term.
To tell the truth, I?m getting goosebumps all over the body! And, lastly, could you please briefly share us your main life principle and philosophy?
Yurii Demydenko: My key principle both in football and in life overall is the same - mindfulness, deep awareness and understanding of all the actions and thoughts, of everything inside me and outside. Everyone can everything and I am convinced that we are now on the threshold of the new football Era, for the first time since the "total football". And its name is "mindful football". It?s the mindfulness that will transform football from the show into the art, and football player - from the showman to the real genius of football. So that everyone will watch football with bated breath all the 90+ minutes...
