 “Excellence is a habit” – Aristotle

 Immersion program is a program designed for individuals to master skill sets at a rapid pace.  The idea of the program is to immerse the student (player) into deep practice to acquire the basic skills that are essential in our game and essential at the next level.

 In development everyone talks about repetition being the key in skill acquisition. The old adage “practice makes perfect” is looked at from a much deeper perspective.

Based of the Liverpool – Legends Girls Curriculum designed by Ben Waldrum, Matt Veasey,  and Randy Waldrum, the Immersion Program sessions were designed to involve deliberate or deep practice that would push the players to their technical ability edge to create the rapid rate of skill acquisition.  

The Immersion Program does require a highly motivated player and parents to gain the most out of the program.  We are currently in the process of piloting this newly developed program with the 2002 Dalglish & 2002 Beardsley girls’ teams.  The data through our 1^st cycle in the program shows the rapid rate of development that has taken place from the programs’ testing.

Testing Results

- Participated 2 days a week (normal) = 54% improvement

- Participated 3 days a week   = 117% improvement

- Participated 4 days a week (Immersion) = 230% improvement

3 days (Immersion Program) versus 2 days  = 63% difference

4 days (Immersion Program) versus 2 days = 176% difference

“Immersion program was designed by a handful of the most qualified and top coaches in the women’s game across the United States from the national team level, to the elite college game, and in the youth game.  This unique program is the 1^st of its kind in area.  This is an exciting opportunity for this particular age group to set the trend on how we train and develop players for the future. We are continuing to seek out those young individuals that are highly motivated and truly have a passion for the game.”
