EAA Speed School, Copenhagen
Get faster on the turf.
One coached hour of speed and agility. Speed, technique, agility, competition. Follow us on Instagram for time and location.
The problem
You are slower than your opponents. You get caught, or you cannot catch them.
For whom
American football and flag football players in Copenhagen, 16 and up. Other team-sport athletes when there is space.
How we do it
One coached hour. Show up, train, get better.
The session
One hour.
Eyes on every rep.
Sprint mechanics, acceleration.
Agility.
Change of direction, deceleration and agility.
Competition.
Every session ends with competition. Races, reactive games, a winner. That is true transfer.
How it works
How to get on the field.
Join
Get into the WhatsApp group or follow on Instagram. That is where time and place go out each week.
Check
Sessions are announced a few days ahead. Times vary with the field and the season.
Show up
16 and up. Turf shoes or cleats, water, clothes for the weather. Sessions run in rain.
Train
One coached hour. No thinking, just execute.
Repeat
Come back, keep improving.
Before you come
Sessions may be filmed. The best coaching moments go to Euro Athletes Academy’s Instagram and website. By joining a session you agree to be on camera and to us using the footage. If you do not want that, this is not the session for you.
You train at your own risk. This is an open field session, not a club practice: your own accident insurance covers you, you warm up with the group, and you tell the coach about any injury before we start. If you are 16 or 17, a parent or guardian knows you are here and is fine with the filming.
Your coach
William James
Founder, Physical Preparation Coach. Division I American football at the University of North Dakota, then a pro career in 5 countries. B.Sc Kinesiology. I run the strength and conditioning for Nordic Storm in the EFA and coach their defensive backs.
550+ athletes trained, from first-year juniors to pros. On the turf you get the same coaching those athletes get, at your own level.
Coming
A coached twice-weekly program with testing and tracking opens later this autumn. Speed School athletes hear first, in the group.
“As American football grows in Europe, Euro Athletes Academy enhances players’ performance and prevents injuries through tailored conditioning.”
John Booker, GM, Paris Musketeers
Questions
What athletes ask first.
Is it really free?
Yes. No card, no sign-up, no catch. We run it to coach more athletes in Copenhagen.
Who can come?
American football and flag football players first, 16 and up. Other team-sport athletes are welcome when there is space. Under 16, not yet.
When and where?
Time and location vary with the field and the season, so the WhatsApp group and Instagram are where you find out.
What do I bring?
Turf shoes or cleats, water, clothes for the weather. Sessions run in rain. Frost or a closed field means a message in the group.
Do I need to be fast already?
No. You need to want to be coached. The session is scaled to who shows up.
Is it filmed?
It may be filmed for promotional purposes. We may use your clips to showcase coaching moments. The full wording is in the note
Is there insurance?
No. You train at your own risk, as at any open field session, and your own accident insurance covers you. Warm up with the group and tell the coach about any injury before we start. The full wording is in the note
Can I bring my team?
Yes. Message first so we plan for the numbers.
Is this the same as EAA Pro?
No. EAA Pro is the online program for your position, 5 days a week, all year. The Speed School is one coached hour on a field in Copenhagen. If you want the other days written for you, Pro is where that lives.
The first step
Show up. Get faster.
Free, coached, American football and flag football first.
