How it works

Assess, develop, review

Step 1

Free assessment

A full session that gives a clear picture of where your player is across every area of their game. You get a one-page baseline summary afterwards, whether or not you go ahead, and if you do, those scores become the starting point in the app.

Step 2

Six-week block

One focus each week, ordered around what the assessment shows they need most, and linked to how it matters in a match.

Step 3

Review

Week six repeats key parts of the assessment, so you can see their new scores in the app, side by side with where they started.

The framework

Coaching the whole player

Every session draws on the framework used across the English football development pathway.

Half of every session goes straight into the week’s focus. Each one ends with a short reflection and a home challenge, which goes into the app so it’s there for the week ahead.

The One Degree app

Coaching that carries on between sessions

Most 1:1 coaching stops when the session ends. Every One Degree family gets their own login, so you can see what’s being worked on, why it matters, and how your player is progressing.
