BEYOND THE WARM-UP · A CASAGRANDE COACHING COURSE

It's Never Just the Warm-Up

Stop being the coach who preps players and become the coach staff plans with – starting with your next session, using the same fifteen minutes you already have.

hundreds
of warm-ups

You’ll run hundreds of warm-ups this year. Maybe you already put real thought into them and you’re not the coach going through the motions.

But even coaches doing this well often hit the same ceiling: a good warm-up, and a good warm-up that’s actually developing you as a coach, are two different things. This course is about the second one.

Most
People Believe

That the warm-up is the low-value part of the session – something to get through before the “real” coaching starts. The coach who runs it is doing a support job, not a strategic one.

Most performance coaches are quietly trying to escape being called “the warm-up coach” – as if the label itself is the problem. I think it’s the opposite: the warm-up isn’t something to escape. It’s the fastest way to stop being replaceable.

I Believe
Something Different

The warm-up is the highest-leverage fifteen minutes a performance coach has. It’s where standards get set, where the game model gets layered in, and because it repeats every single day of a season – it’s the fastest professional-development loop available to a coach who actually treats it like one.

Never start from
zero again

Picture This

Right
now:

The session is about to start and the warm-up does its job – bodies moving, ready to train. What it’s not doing: teaching you the game, building trust with the staff, giving players a shared language. There’s no time and no system to take it that far.

Six months
from now:

You already know what today needs before you’ve stepped onto the pitch. The technical coach walks over first – not to tell you the plan, but to ask what you’re seeing.

This is not a certificate, nor is a better drill library.
It truly is a shift in how people talk to you, plan with you and trust you.
That's the gap this course closes.

What This Actually Costs You
If You Wait

I didn't learn any of this quickly.

It took me 13 years – trial and error, coaches I was lucky enough to learn from, mistakes nobody warned me about. If you wait, here’s what that’s likely to cost you, quietly, without ever showing up as a single dramatic moment:

Time

Every season on autopilot is a season you could’ve spent building understanding, relationships, and systems

Trust

Trust you never got the chance to build – the conversations with technical staff that never happened

Money

Coaches seen as more than physical prep get paid more, promoted faster, kept on through changes that cost others their jobs

Confidence

Without a system, every new season can feel like starting from zero again

Can Your Club
Pay for This?

This qualifies as genuine CPD

Many coaches don’t realise they can ask their club to cover it from a professional development budget that often goes unused, simply because nobody asks.

It’s coaching development that directly benefits the team you work for, not just you. Worth a conversation with whoever manages that budget before assuming this has to come out of your own pocket.

frequently
asked questions

I don't have a big staff - I run the whole session myself. Is this still for me?

Yes! This is genuinely built with you in mind, not just coaches with a full MDT around them. Module 2, on speaking the staff’s language, works just as well with a co-coach or assistant as it does with a full technical department – the point is building curiosity and alignment with whoever you work alongside, however small that circle is. And Modules 3 and 4 give you real, usable warm-up examples you can run solo, starting with your very next session.

Yes. This isn’t a strength and conditioning course – it’s a system for thinking about the warm-up differently, no prior technical background required. If you’ve been running warm-ups from FIFA+ resources, YouTube, or content you’ve picked up along the way, you already have exactly what you need to start.

Grassroots through professional, club or international. The system scales down as easily as it scales up – the buckets, the constraint-game method, and the pulse-raiser rework work the same whether you’re coaching u12s or a national team.

Yes – once you’re enrolled, the course content is yours to revisit whenever you want.

3 months of CASA (our coaching community) is included with the course. After that, it rolls onto the standard £25/month plan unless you choose to cancel – no pressure either way.

Each module is built to apply directly to your next session, not stack up as extra homework. You’re not adding hours to your week – you’re changing what you already do in the fifteen minutes you already spend.

Most coaches already sense the warm-up matters – very few have a repeatable system for using it. If Module 1 feels familiar, Modules 3–5 (the buckets system, the pulse-raiser rework, and rebuilding your own drill) are where the real shift happens.

Often, yes – this qualifies as genuine CPD. A ready-to-send request template is included so you can make the case to whoever manages your club’s professional development budget.

CPD request
template

Dear [name of decision maker],

I’d like to put forward a request to use some of my CPD budget this year on a course called Beyond the Warm-Up, run by Ivi Casagrande.

It’s focused on how performance coaches design and use the first part of a session. Not just for physical preparation, but to build understanding of the game, connect with the technical/tactical side, and work more closely with coaching staff. The course is £297 (a payment plan of 3 x £99 is also available).

I think it would directly benefit how I plan and deliver sessions here, and how I work with the rest of the coaching team.

Would there be a budget available to cover this?

Thanks, [Your name]
