This program is designed to develop your individual abilities in combination with real game experience.

Being immersed in a professional Portuguese Club is critical to both the programs and your success.
In order to have all of the necessary tools for your development, you will be monitored by our specialized technical department, strength & conditioning department, Mental Coach and Nutritionist. This is a high intensity program that requires full commitment to the process in order to maximize your potential. Training sessions are 5 days per week with Club sessions 3-4 days and league games on the weekend.
All IFD athletes live in student accommodation where they are fully self-sufficient. This includes some meal preparation, personal hygiene, room cleanliness, maintaining your training and educational requirements & timelines. Part of becoming a professional athlete includes self-awareness, responsibility and independence. IFD closely monitor all elements of this as part of the program however our expectation is you behave in a manner that befits a pro.
