1UP Training Philosophy 🧠

Players will be sent our 1UP Training Menu, complete with topics, coaching points & sessions objectives. We vow to:                                                                 

• Seek weaknesses & strengths to improve each

• Use Question/Answer & Guided Discovery coaching methodology to accelerate problem solving skills & creativity

• Grow confidence. Train freely! We truly encourage an environment where mistakes will be made and that’s ok, keep working through them to grow. The sessions will challenge you and so they should!

• Game realistic environments so players relate training to their games! Click here for another look at our “Training Menu”.

• Push players to prepare them for the game at the next level!

• Provide sessions that will allow players to improve while also limiting the risk of injury or overtraining for our advanced players.
