The development of FootsportDynamics® has been a long and very interesting journey. The strength and solid foundations of the system rest on the fact that development has been driven from the view point of the coaches and athletes. Nino Severino (Creator Of Footsport®) & Paul Simmons (Director of Footsport® Science) met by sheer chance 5 years ago. At the time Nino was Director of a World Class Squad. Paul had just come out of a very successful career in sport as a World Class athlete himself and now passes all his experience onto his pupils who are on their journey to International status.

Both coaches hit it off immediately, acknowledging each others views on the problems coaches can have training and inspiring athletes, while keeping them motivated. Nino had already implemented the Footsport® concept in it's basic form, but it was far from the finished article. Both coaches spent hours at each meeting discussing their negative experience in the field of coaching and how to over come them using the new approach. One of the subjects that was spoken about between themselves and meetings with other coaches was the major problem of controlling large groups of athletes.
Using only a circuit training approach did not fulfil the vision of the ultimate movement system. They new they had to come up with a configuration of equipment that could move large groups of athletes around a chosen route way on a system. Areas such as progressive drills, work recovery rates, cuing, creative drills, mirroring specific energy system requirements and keeping high levels of motivation and interest are but a few of the areas that needed to be addressed.
Nino and Paul have literally travelled thousands of miles Nationally and Internationally in the search of feedback from some of the most respected coaches in the field of sport. Nino and Paul noted all their comments regarding aspects of training that the coaches felt were not being catered for, specifically in the area of creative movement. Both Nino and Paul wanted to produce a complete system that would make coaching in general a more fulfilling experience for the coach and the athlete. This they believe has been achieved, as it covers the following areas: |

- Control of single, doubles or group coaching
- Warm up, dynamic stretching, Curvelinear creative movement, skill acquisition, strength and conditioning, fitness, plyometrics.
- Reaction work, competitive drills, speed trials.
- Multi-sport specific work, bringing into use racquets, balls, pads ect.
- Injury prevention. Dave Williams (Ipswich Town Physiotherapist) and surgeons Mark Bowditch and Dave Hodgkinson believe that the unique approach of the system could significantly reduce injury and aid the recovery phase. Research into the system involving Sue Voules is now being planned.
- Footsport dynamics is a great system for injury prevention and rehabilitation. It allows the athlete to stay part of a cohesive group when rehabilitating back from injury.
- Ongoing support and educational services. Long periods during the workshops are spent on the practical side of the system, concentrating on general and specific use of the system in different fields of coaching.
- Programme creativity is aided by the excellent DVD's and CD's that are now available. Reducing the time needed to be spent on creating training programmes.

TeamFootsport® headed by Nino and Paul now look ahead to an exciting future. International links are at present being developed with Europe and the United States. Nino and Paul believe that the system is hugely versatile and limitless, this feeds the obvious passion that they both have to continually create unique ideas for the coaching market. They both hope that thousands of coaches across the world will experience themselves, how FootsportDynamics® can revolutionize the job of coaching athletes at any level.
