My name is Craig Mitchell, and I work with footballers who genuinely want to improve their game.

I don't believe in putting every player through the same program and expecting the same results. Every player has different strengths, weaknesses, experiences and goals. My job is to understand you as a player and then work on the things that will actually make a difference to your football.

Whether you are trying to move into a stronger club environment, earn more minutes, improve your confidence or simply become a better footballer, my training is built around where you are now and where you want to go.

​

MORE THAN JUST  TRAINING

​

For me, football development isn't just about spending an hour kicking a ball around.

It's about understanding why you're doing something and learning how to take that into a real game.

I work on your technical ability, but we also work on your decision-making, movement, positioning, confidence, fitness and understanding of the game. I want you to become the type of player who can recognise what is happening on the field, make better decisions and have the confidence to act on them.

I also look at the things away from training that can affect your performance — nutrition, recovery, preparation, attitude and game-day routines.

Because being a better footballer isn't just about what you do when you have the ball.

​

I PERSONALLY DO THE WORK

​

One of the biggest differences with Personal Football Training is simple: When you train with me, you train with me. I personally deliver the sessions, run the drills, watch your development and provide the feedback. I don't hand you over to another coach or have someone else run your program.

That means I get to know your game properly. I see the mistakes you make, I see the improvements.I see what you struggle with under pressure. And I see the things you are capable of but aren't showing consistently yet. That personal relationship is important to me.

​

TRAINING IS ONLY PART OF THE PICTURE

​

A player can look fantastic during a training session, but football is ultimately played in a game.

That's why I also offer game-day observations. Watching you compete allows me to see things that don't always appear during training — your positioning, movement, decision-making, work rate, communication, reaction to mistakes and how you respond when the game doesn't go your way.

I can then take what I see in the game and bring it back into your training.

Train → Play → Observe → Learn → Improve.

That's the process.

​

UNDERSTANDING THE PLAYER

​

As part of my assessment process, I also include an orthopaedic and neurological evaluation, with a focus on the movement and physical demands of a developing football player. This examination is done by Dr Steven Massey. (BSC Anatomy (NSW) M.Chiro)

This gives me additional information about how a player moves, coordinates and performs physically, helping me understand the individual rather than simply looking at what happens on the football field.

 

MY PROMISE

​

What I can promise is that if you are prepared to work, listen, learn and commit to improving, I will give you everything I can to help you become the best footballer you can be. I'll let you when you're doing well & I'll tell you when you need to improve.  I will also challenge you when I know you're capable of more, because development isn't always comfortable, and improvement doesn't happen overnight. But if you are willing to put the work in, I'll be there to help you through it. This is Personal Football Training.

Personal training. Personal feedback. Personal development.

Your football journey.

Craig Mitchell
