Why this course?
After several years of research, Ekkono has identified and described the most common situations players face in each position on the pitch.
By analyzing these situations, Ekkono has determined which decisions consistently lead to the highest success rates in both the attacking and defensive phases. For each scenario and position, there is an optimal decision — the one that maximizes overall team performance.
Through this content — Individual Fundamentals by Position — coaches will gain a detailed understanding of the key situations players face and will be able to design training sessions based on the desired decisions. This framework is also highly valuable for individual player analysis, supporting both performance improvement and scouting processes.
What will you learn?
Should your full-backs always join the attack, or stay back?
Where is the best position for your winger to receive the ball — at their feet or in space?
In defensive moments, should your midfielders always stay in the central zone, or sometimes move out?
During matches, players are constantly exposed to highly complex situations. While coaches often observe the outcomes, many struggle to provide players with clear, situation-specific instructions.
This 17-hour course offers in-depth, position-specific tactical education for goalkeepers, full-backs, holding midfielders, and wingers.
You will learn over 110 individual tactical principles — both offensive and defensive — across these four positions. The course covers the essential concepts behind each principle and how to implement them effectively in both games and training sessions. You will also enhance your ability to analyze critical match situations.
To reinforce learning, each positional module includes at least one practical activity, accompanied by real-life examples demonstrating how professional players apply these principles. These activities and analyses will deepen your understanding through clear, practical illustrations.
Additionally, the course introduces some of the best training exercises to develop both attacking and defensive principles for goalkeepers, full-backs, midfielders, and wingers.
By enrolling, you will receive exclusive access to download 50+ video clips used during the course to illustrate key concepts.
