CURVA Coach understands exactly what Striker demands physically. Your programme is built around those demands — not a generic template.
Get my CoachThe four physical qualities that define performance at this position — and why they matter.
Getting in behind defenders requires explosive acceleration over the first 10–30m. The programme develops starting speed, sprint mechanics and the first-step quickness that creates the separation strikers need to get onto through balls.
Shot power and accuracy under fatigue require significant lower body strength and hip stability. The programme builds the leg power and rotational strength that underpin consistent shooting — both from range and in tight areas.
Winning headers in the box — whether for goals or flick-ons — requires jumping power, upper body strength and the timing to compete against physical centre backs. The programme develops all three.
Creating and finishing chances in the box requires exceptional close-quarters agility. The programme includes specific reactive training and change of direction work for the confined spaces where strikers do their most important work.
A Striker doesn't need the same programme as a Winger. CURVA Coach builds around the specific demands of your position — then layers in your schedule, your body and any niggles you're carrying.
Every two weeks, your coach reviews your progress and updates your programme. It adapts across pre-season, in-season and recovery so you're always doing the right work at the right time.
And if you have questions — about movement, nutrition, an injury niggle — your coach is available 24/7 in the app.
