HIGH PRESS PHILOSOPHY
SKILL. MINDSET. PERFORMANCE
High Press is a football coaching programme designed to improve the technical ability of New Zealand's young footballers. We believe that technique is the foundation of football and is the most important element of the game during the junior phase.
We don't promote or teach a certain style of play, instead we focus on players becoming good decision makers and technicians. We pride ourselves in creating a safe environment where promising young players can train together and compete against like-minded individuals.
VALUES
We make all decisions based on the best interest of the child/player. We are also here to support parents through their journey as parents are a key part of the holistic development of the child.
Player First Philosophy
We understand football involves long term development, we are here to help your children develop as footballers and people. While we believe striving to win is a part of this, it is not about winning today, its about being the best you can be as a footballer and person in time. This includes helping players and parents understand pathways to professional football and other pathways in the sport.
Holistic Development
We prioritise the coaching and training of technical skills. This is the most important part of football and the most neglected. We help players be better equiped to play in any environment, have the technical skills to execute plans, understand their decisions and have a high football IQ. We don’t teach passing patterns or a specific style of play,
Technical Focus
It is important to us to find ways to make High Press something most people can afford. For this reason we keep the costs minimal, we have payment plan options and are developing a scholarship fund to help those who can’t afford the costs, and other related costs. We are also working on having multiple locations as we also understand time and travel is a significant cost.
Accessible and Affordable
We create an environment where players are not scared to make mistakes, are willing to challenge themselves and enjoy football. We promote discipline and hard work done in a way that is player led and positive. We ensure players enjoy their training by ensuring they can see results, build relationships and learn new things.
Safe Environment
We priotise quality over everything else, whether that be in regard to football or anything else we do at High Press, We would choose to accept less players into our programme to ensure the coaching quality is at its upmost, we would choose highest quality playing kits. Quality over any other option.
