How the material reaches you

Delivery here is about rhythm, not shipping. Each piece is published so it can be picked up and used inside a normal week, whether you coach an under-14 squad, run a neighborhood club or train after work.

  1. You send a note

    Write to the address below with the category you work with, the format you play and what you are trying to sort out. A short message is enough. No forms to fill in beyond that.

  2. We point you to the right column

    You can browse a match-reading piece, a session plan by discipline, or a recovery and mobility note on this site. If the team responds to your question, it may point you to a relevant published article.

  3. You take the plan into the week

    Session plans arrive with step-by-step exercises and simple tables, so a coach can run them on a shared pitch and a player can repeat them alone. Nothing assumes a full staff or a gym.

  4. You adjust around your calendar

    Recovery notes are written to sit between school, work and local tournament dates. If a session runs short, the material says what to cut rather than what to add.

  5. You write back with what happened

    Coaches and families who try a plan often send notes about what worked and what did not. Those accounts feed the interviews and follow-up columns, which stay close to the ground.

If you want the reasoning behind the weekly structure first, read how the process is put together. When you are ready to write, use the contact page.

How the work reaches you

Coached by Frankie is an editorial and sports-support project, not a shipping service. What arrives is material you can put to use during a normal week, whether you are a parent, a coach or a player training after school or after work.

Session plans by discipline

Each plan comes with step-by-step exercises and simple session tables, so a coach can run it on a shared pitch or a small room. The blocks list duration and intensity, and they say what to cut when an evening runs short. Formats are written to be adapted to futsal or seven-a-side.

Recovery, mobility and everyday food notes

These pieces stay close to the schedule families actually keep: rest habits that fit around school and work, short mobility sequences for hips and ankles, and everyday eating patterns built on affordable staples. Nothing here claims clinical outcomes, and nothing is written for professional athletes.

Match analysis and coach interviews

Columns read a local match through shape, spacing and pressing triggers rather than the scoreboard. Interviews with neighborhood and formative-club coaches follow the same ground-level tone, covering categories, playing time and the constraints each coach works within week to week.

Recommendations are adapted to youth categories and adult recreational players. If you want to follow a specific thread or ask about a topic, write to team@coachedbyfrankie.com.
