single day to answer coaches who reach out to me with with questions so today I want to talk about five ideas to grow your soccer training business right now I specifically talk about soccer because that's that's kind of the niche I'm in but if you are a coach in basketball you're a coach in American football you're a coach in baseball okay which you might be a coach in lacrosse whatever sport you currently coach him all right I know these five things I'm going to share with you today will help you to give you some ideas on what services to offer so you can grow your business offer more services and essentially scale to the next level all right so the first service you can offer is one-on-one training right now what I like to call this is one-on-one premium training so when coaches offer one-on-one training a big mistake that they're currently doing with their business is they're making one-on-one training very similar price to group training so what happens is because the difference in group training and one-on-one training isn't huge right a lot of parents are going for the one-on-one option right because it's more individualized it's more personalized so their child can get more attention from the coach now the problem with this is if there's not a massive price gap between one-on-one training and group training and you start to get a lot of one-on-one clients okay ultimately your coaching schedule if you're running this business by yourself your schedule is going to get busier and busier to the point where you're going to end up doing 20 to 40 one-on-one sessions per week and that will ultimately lead not not just to burn out but you won't be you won't have time to market to promote and to build offers within your business to get to that next level because you're going to be so focused working with these 20 to 40 clients every single week that it's going to take up so much of your time so one-on-one premium training needs to be something that yes you offer but the the difference in price needs to be so huge that for a parent it makes sense just to move their child into a group type of training program with you okay i'm going to talk about that a little later but the first idea okay the first service you can offer to to grow your business is one-on-one premium training right this is where you work one-on-one with with the client okay and you guys you know you come together you personalize the training session for that specific client and you provide total attention one-on-one with the player that you're working with right the second idea to grow and scale is offering semi-private which i also call it a two-on-one so this is essentially two players on one coach now if your schedule becomes really busy and you're working with a lot of one-on-one clients this is an alternative that you can offer okay to try and reduce the amount of more training time you're you're having on the field okay so two-on-one you're essentially working with two clients at once okay this is still quite a premium type of service because you can still create a lot of personalized attention for the the clients and the players you're working with but it's not one-on-one okay essentially it's two-on-one so it's two players one coach and you work together and you train together in one training session okay now in terms of your pricing okay because it's not one-on-one okay the the price might be a little bit more affordable than that one-on-one service right so it could the two-on-one or semi-private type of training could be anywhere between your group training and one-on-one training so anywhere in the middle would be a good price gap when you're offering this type of service and again you can work with more players and clients during the week because you can max out your your semi-private training sessions to work with more players okay and that will reduce the amount of time that you are on the field okay so essentially if you're working with 20 to 25 one-on-one clients or 25 to 30 clients per week all in one-on-one something you can do is transition them into into two-on-one groups and that will reduce pretty much your training time by by half during the week okay so that those are two things the first one is one-on-one premium training second is two-on-one a semi-private training and the third one is small groups okay so the small group training when I talk about small groups I look at anywhere between four to six players in one group training at once now these could be kids from different clubs these could be kids from the same team these could be a group of friends that have created a group to train with but this is ultimately how your business will be able to grow and scale a lot quicker because any client that comes in okay you can start to fill out your your small groups so that you're not spending more and more time on the field working in a one-on-one environment okay so small groups okay you can still provide a lot of personalised attention the training can still be customised to the client okay but essentially what what it allows you to do when you work with anywhere between four to six players is it gives that type of a team training feel while at the same time keeping the the session quite personal for the client okay so small groups is a fantastic idea for you to implement into your business it's a fantastic service to provide so that you can start to fill out your groups right and reduce the amount of one-on-one sessions that you have now if you have a client or a prospect or a parent that wants to train with you but doesn't want that group training then essentially what you can do is you can offer them the alternatives the two alternatives would be either semi-private training which is the two-on-one or the one-on-one premium type of training okay but ultimately what we want to do is we want to move all our clients into small groups so that we're training more players at once and we're maximising our time on the field right the fourth one is open groups okay so open group training which is anywhere between 10 plus players right a lot of coaches that run these type of group training sessions sometimes they have anywhere between 20 to 30 players all training at once obviously what they what they tend to do is they bring in assistant coaches to help them and you can divide that the group of 30 into into smaller groups so they're spread out but they're all training at the same hour okay now this is a great way to maximise your time on the field okay because if you're working with 30 clients at once right that's 30 players you're you're training every single week and any new player that wants to join your program that comes in you can put them into your your open group sessions all you have to do is you have to bring in an assistant coach and and divide the open group into smaller groups and you can have the whole you know the entire group training at the same time and in different areas of of the field right we've got a few coaches in our program that do this really well okay they'll run open group training sessions with two assistant coaches you divide that that large group where it's anyway between 30 to 40 players all at once you divide it into groups of free okay so individual groups where one coach is taking one group once a coach is taking another group and and you as the head coach to have your own group right the the beauty of this as well is that if you've got so many kids in one group and you have assistant coaches to help you you can divide players into either ability levels ages okay and you can you can branch all all the players off into individual groups where they're working with players of their own level okay so that's one of the beauty of of having these this type of open group training sessions where you can have kids of all different abilities coming at the same time same hour but essentially what we do is we we divide all the players into their own little groups where they're working with with your assistant coaches okay and you can have them all do the same thing but everything's customized depending on the ability level of each group okay so if you run two or three of these open group sessions per week right you could be working with up to 100 plus players per week okay and you could be only training three hours per week okay depending how long your training sessions run but if you're doing open group sessions and it's one hour and you're working with 50 kids at once right obviously you need to have a really big large space to host that amount of kids but if you're having 50 50 kids coming at once and you're you know you're running three training sessions back to back in one day you could have up to 150 kids training one day in your in your in your business and that essentially could be your only training session like your only training day during the week and the rest of the week becomes more opened up for you to focus more on the marketing the promoting and even offering maybe another group training session day okay so open group sessions are a fantastic option if you want to do really big groups and you know you want to bring in assistant coaches to work with these these bigger groups and have everyone train on one set day and set time right the fifth one the fifth idea these are camps and clinics right so when I talk about a camp or clinic okay depending on how you look at it right clinics for me are more specific right when I think of a clinic I think of something that's more specific to to players right so you can have a goalkeeping clinic where it's just focused and tailored to goalkeepers you could have a defenders clinic where it's only for defenders you could have a striking clinic where it's just open for for strikers okay a skill development clinic right whatever you want to do but the clinic has to be specific to something in the game right you could do fitness fitness and performance clinics right anything that is specific I see as a clinic a camp right a camp is something where you can have players of different abilities it's very similar to open group but it's a little bit smaller and it's more limited to a certain amount of players right in my business I've run several camps before and what I tend to do is I maximize each camp to up to 12 players okay 12 players and I run these camps for two hours right you can have these camps run on a weekly basis you can have them run on a monthly basis you can have them run on a quarterly basis but essentially they're very different to open group right open group essentially you can bring in as many kids as you want into that group as long as you have assistant coaches camps I feel that you can limit the amount of players that you have at once okay and then a clinic right a clinic could be very similar numbers to a camp but what you want to do is you want to make that clinic very specific to solve a problem okay so as I mentioned before it could be for goalkeepers it could be for strikers it could be for defenders it could be for wingers right something you are focusing on specifically with the players you're working with and also the duration of the session is a lot shorter than a camp right when I think of a clinic I think maybe an hour now a 15 when I think of a camp I think anywhere between two to three to four hours okay in one day all right so you want any more help any more ideas on how to grow and scale your
