What Coaches Say About
Martin's Methods
Coaches and educators worldwide have implemented Martin’s training methods with their players. Here are their experiences.
I’ve been coaching for fifteen years and thought I knew football training. Martin’s Nine-Cone lateral progression changed everything. Within three months, my players showed dramatic improvement in their weaker foot. The methods are specific, logical, and they work. My only regret is not finding this system sooner.
James Patterson
Martin’s approach to two-footed development has transformed our girls program. Previously, we had players who completely avoided their left foot. Using the lateral training methods, we now have confident two-footed players throughout our age groups. The difference in match situations is remarkable.
Sarah Mitchell
The DVDs are worth their weight in gold. Seeing Eddie demonstrate the techniques makes it easy to understand what we’re trying to achieve. I’ve implemented the passing and receiving exercises with my under-12s, and their first touch has improved dramatically. Finally, a coaching resource that focuses on actual skill development.
David Roberts
As a parent watching my son’s training, I was frustrated by generic group drills. I bought Martin’s books and DVDs and started working with my son at home. The improvement was obvious within weeks. His confidence with both feet and his first touch are now his strengths. Martin’s methods gave my son tools his club training never provided.
Michael O'Brien
Martin’s directional first touch system should be standard in every academy. I use the Four-Cone Playing Bubble progression with individual players who need extra development. The improvements in their spatial awareness and decision-making are significant. This is real player development, not just keeping kids busy.

I’m not a football specialist, but Martin’s book gave me the confidence to run proper skill sessions. The explanations are clear, the progressions are logical, and the students enjoy the training. Even in a school setting with limited time, we’re seeing real improvement in technical ability.
