Welcome to Individual Player Development & Analysis brought to you by the Association of Professional Football Analysis.
Through this course you’ll see why individual development plans play a key role in modern player development, why many clubs are employing specialist coaches focused on only the individual, and how they set developmental targets and measure them over time.
You’ll also see how top clubs and coaches involve players in this process, how they use video and data where appropriate and how they use these measurement insights to design more informed and relevant training and feedback sessions.
As you journey through this program, you’ll build an individual development plan to take away and use for a player of your choosing. This plan is designed for Coaches, Technical Directors and Analysts to make more informed decisions and boost individual player development.
While the focus of this program will be tactical and technical aspects of the game, many of the principles and methodologies you’ll experience can be taken away and adapted to the physical and mental side of the game too.
You’ll find the most success by immersing yourself in the program, watching the videos, completing tasks, and joining in with discussions in the comments section at the bottom of each page.
Be realistic about your time constraints and other resources. Although many of our contributors are from Premier League clubs, don’t aim to build a development plan for a Premier League player if you’re an amateur coach who only sees them a couple of times a week. There’s nothing wrong with being aspirational however, and if you want to build your plan this way then go for it!
Throughout this course, tasks will always appear in a green block like this one.
The first task for the introduction module is to share some information about yourself in the comments section below. Please add your name, where you currently coach or analyze players (if at all) and what you aim to get from this program.

Hi everyone,
I am Jen. I am a volunteer analyst at Moneyfields FC Women. I am also studying an MSc in Performance Analysis part-time. Moneys play in Tier 4 of the Womens National League. Two seasons ago, there was no analysis department. Last season was my first with the club and I implemented some analysis into training and match days. This season I would like to further enhance the delivery of analysis at Moneys but furthering my own knowledge and skill set.
Hi everyone.
I am Jen. I am the first team analyst with Moneyfields FC Women based on the South Coast in the UK. We are a Tier 4 football, playing in the Division One South West. I am a part-time MSc student at University of Worcester and currently volunteer with Moneyfields. Two seasons ago there was no analysis. Last season, I began to implement analysis into the training schedule and on match-days. This season, I am hoping to further develop analysis at the club. This can be difficult as there is no budget currently for analysis but I feel the further I educate myself, the more I can apply my knowledge and expertise to the club.
I am interested in networking with anyone in analysis in both the mens and women’s game!
Hi all, my name is Adam. I am the U9-U14 Lead Phase Coach at a Category 2 Football Academy. Individual player development is at the heart of what we do within our Academy and I feel that the level of analysis we are beginning to use, this kind of course will allow me to add more value to what we do, understand the data better, and help provide individual development plans that are clear and achievable for the player(s). Within the academy the team environment can sometimes take precedence so bringing this back to the forefront of my focus will be greatly valued.
Hi all, I’m Luke. I coach for a number of organisations in a variety of environments, ranging from primary schools to grassroots setups to elite technical development. I also still play non-league football, having represented Crystal Palace’s academy for 7 years as a schoolboy.
Individual Player Development interests me a great deal. In my experience, it is an undervalued and underappreciated area of the game in traditional coaching environments, where the group’s developmental needs often take precedence over the individual player’s needs (even though IPD holds the key to unlocking a group/team’s potential IMO). I’m hoping to gain new understanding and insights into the IDP process so I can help facilitate the growth and development of all the future players I have the privilege of coaching.
