Players chasing the ball in a training game

B1 METHODOLOGY: the B1 methodology

You play the way you train.

Four dimensions, trained together in real game situations.

The B1 Performance DNA

Four dimensions. One player.

Physical, technical, tactical and mental work happen together, in every session. Never apart.

  • PhysicalSpeed, strength and endurance, built inside the game.
  • TechnicalControl, passing, dribbling, finishing, under real pressure.
  • TacticalReading the game and choosing the right action.
  • MentalFocus, confidence and decisions when it matters.

How we train

Built on the game model.

  • Tactical PeriodizationEvery session is built on the game model, in real game situations, never as isolated drills.
  • SpecificityPlayers understand what each exercise is for and stay focused on it. Coaches step in at the right moment, turning knowing into know-how.
  • The weekly cycleThe morphocycle balances load, recovery and complexity across the week.

B1’s football model

The game in four moments.

Attack, defence and the two transitions. Positional play and possession games (3v3+2, 4v4+2, 5v5+2), real-game situations and small-sided matches.

  1. 1Attack
  2. 2Defensive transition
  3. 3Defence
  4. 4Attacking transition

Technique in context

Corrected inside the game.

Control, passing, dribbling, shooting, heading and defending, coached and corrected inside real situations.

Specialists

A goalkeeper programme of its own.

Technical, tactical, physical and attitudinal objectives, with a dedicated goalkeeper coach.

How we evaluate

Continuous. Across all four.

Every athlete is evaluated continuously across the four dimensions, with individual reports for families.

Other sports: the same B1 Performance DNA, with each sport’s own game model.
