The program gives players a further opportunity to train in a player-centred environment, focusing on the development of the individual. In addition, this allows a heavy emphasis on coaching individual player habits to help athletes reach their potential and get to the next level. The United Development Program is structured so players aren’t trained as ‘teams’, rather, groups can be varied to accommodate player’s individual needs.
