So the spring and the summer is usually when a lot of coaches run training camps and A very common question that I get asked is Leo. How can I make my soccer camp business better? How can I add more value? How can I make it unique? How can I separate myself from my local competitors? So I want to share with you three very simple ways That you can make your camps unique So that you can essentially charge more for your service You can get great results with the athletes and the players that you work you're working with and ultimately Right, you separate yourself from from your competitors Because when we get to the spring and summer is going to be a lot of people running multiple camps in your city But how can you become different? How can you separate your? Training camps from everyone else, right? So the first one is making your camps more specialized right, so when I talk about specialized means focusing on one particular Area of the game So this might be Running goalkeeper a goalkeeper camp. This might be Running an outfield Player camp, right? This might be working having a camp just solely for defenders Right, so making your camp Special it specialized for a specific type of player and That you're looking to solve a specific problem So as I mentioned as I gave you a couple of examples, this could be Right, you're running a goalkeeper camp just for goalkeepers It could be you're running a camp for elite players So it could be players who are already at the academy level Or it could be for college players. It could be for high school players. It could be for travel team players Right, so making your camps specialized for a specific type of player, right now Not just that but how can we now incorporate different types of Things within the camp for that specialist type of player So this might be incorporating workshops that focus on nutrition It might be running workshops that focus on injury prevention. It might be Sports psychology, right? So the mental side of of soccer, right? But when you specialize or make your camps specialist at a certain area or a certain type of player Okay, you've got to make the experience All-round right, so what is that that player needs in order to get to the level that we're looking to market the camp So I'll give you a very simple example if you're working with club players right and Their goal they come into you because they want to play at the college level Then you have to know what the college level looks like and what's coaches look for when they recruit players for that level or what What that level? Requires their players to have right and that's how you then make your camps Based around with the needs and wants at the college level. So this might be an idea of bringing a scouting To have a look at some of your players You might want to bring in a college coach to do a presentation on the players right to help them with a recruitment process Or a number of other ways that I've just shared with you where you're you know, you're doing workshops That's focusing on nutrition Injury prevention how to get recruited and the mental side of the game, right? So separating your camps from everyone else Okay, now the second way to make your camps more unique is integrating technology Into them now something I do with my camps when I run them with my academy is we do a chalk and talk and Also, we do video analysis session so this obviously takes a lot of setting up and you knew you do need the And Agreement and you do need the approval of your parents But what you can do is you can hire out a camera man or a camera woman To come in and record your training session Okay, now what you can do as well is maybe during lunch when your players are having lunch and if you have an indoor area Within the area you're using you could run a video analysis session and Where players watch over the training session and you can pinpoint Certain parts of the training session that certain players are doing so what's this player doing well? How is this player achieving this success right and use a board or a Classroom okay while they have lunch and they can even make notes on Specific topics that you're talking about right so implementing technology Into this where you might only be focusing on one player Right, so you're focusing on one player during that training session And then what we do we show it to our players in a classroom environment And we look at that one player what they're doing well what they need help with Okay, and and you really break down different areas of their game such as decision-making skills Spatial awareness and the tactical understanding of the game, right? So there's a lot of things that you could do but implementing technology Into your camps will help you to separate yourself from everyone else Add more value because that becomes really valuable to the players that you're you're working with Okay, and also automate you can charge more for your service now the third one is building a Team a team building environment. Okay, so what I mean by team building and Activities is that doing stuff during the camp which might not be Relevant well, which might not have anything to do with actual soccer or the sport you're coaching, right? It's just simply okay simple exercises to Promote team collaboration a communication Trust among your your campers right and just to build teamwork and cultural understanding of The the group that you're working with Okay, and there's a number of activities that you can do This is something I can help you with if you want to reach out to me, right? But just making it an environment Where you're working on team building exercises that might not have anything to do with the actual sport But it's more about building that team culture Within your camp, right? And this adds a lot of value because It's showing that players Okay, it doesn't always have to be through the sport. It can be through other different avenues some very simple things that I do is I play quizzes right so so quizzes with with players during the camp and You could put your the groups of players Into small teams and you could run a quiz That has nothing to do with sport and it's just a general quiz and they work together to solve That the problems answer the questions and that's just one way of a hundred different ways that you can add more value to your camp and build that team culture within Your camps to make them different and add more value to them Okay, if you need more help with this right reach out to me This is something I work with coaches on a regular basis and if you're looking to run If our camps coming up or you're looking to start a soccer camp business then reach out to me We've been doing this since 2016.
