Injuries, inconsistency, and reduced player availability are often treated as bad luck, player issues, or resource gaps. In reality, they are usually structural problems rooted in planning.

The Foundation Course introduces the Fit For Every Game decision-making framework, giving coaches a clear way to think about planning, periodisation, and training structure across a season.

The course establishes the conceptual foundations that underpin all Fit For Every Game planning modules. Coaches learn why different periodisation models work, what problems they are designed to solve, and when they are most appropriate in real-world environments.

Delivered by Damian Roden — UEFA Pro Licence Instructor, Head of Performance, and author of the Fit For Every Game methodology — this course presents the framework as a practical decision-making tool to support performance, recovery, and player availability across a season.
