This is precisely what renowned football fitness coach Raymond Verheijen brings to the table in his maiden arrival to India for a two-day \u2018Conditioning Conference for Football Coaches\u2019 in the Capital from Tuesday (February 12) to Thursday (February 14, 2013).<br \/>\n<br \/>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Author of two books on Conditioning and Periodisation, namely \u2018Conditioning in Soccer\u2019 and \u2018Periodisation in Football\u2019, the 41-year old Dutchman has worked with some of the best tacticians in the business like Guus Hiddink, Dick Advocaat and Frank Rijkaard, tasting success at both international and club level.<br \/>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Apart from being the deputy to Rijkaard for the European Championships 2000 in Belgium\/Holland, where the Dutch reached the semi-final, losing to Italy in the tie-breaker, Verheijen was also an integral part of the famous South Korean sojourn under Guus Hiddink, when the unfancied co-hosts upset Germany and Italy to reach the last-four of the 2002 World Cup.<br \/>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>He then joined hands with Advocaat to help The Netherlands reach the semis of the 2004 European Championships. He was also the right hand man in the latter\u2019s stints with South Korea in the 2006 World Cup and Russia in last year\u2019s European Championships in Poland\/Ukraine.<br \/>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As an Advisor of Periodisation, Verheijen has worked with some of the best as far as club football in concerned. Starting with arguably the best club in the World, FC Barcelona in 2003-2006 under Rijkaard, Verheijen also went on to help the Didier Drogbas and the Frank Lampards chalk out their Yearly Training Plan (YTP) \u2013 the mainstay of Periodisation. This was in 2009, when the current Champions League holders won the prestigious FA Cup under Hiddink.<br \/>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>With the Catalans, Verheijen soared heights winning the elusive UEFA Champions League in 2006, apart from two La Liga titles and Spanish Super Cups\/King\u2019s Cup.<br \/>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>With Russian heavyweights Zenit St. Petersburg too, Verheijen tasted considerable success winning by not only becoming champions of Russia in 2007, but also the UEFA Cup and also the resultant Super Cup.<br \/>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Manchester City (2009) and KRC Genk (2010-11) were the other clubs he has been associated with. Verheijen was also Advisor of Individual Periodisation of Wales and former Manchester City star Craig Bellamy in the period of 2010-11.<br \/>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Verheijen reinstated his partnership with Hiddink for Euro 2008 as the assistant manager of Russia. The phrase was an important one for Verheijen. Chronicling his second book, \u2018Periodisation in Football\u2019 in the same year, Verheijen followed it up with the Dutch Football Academy as the Founder and Director in 2009. He bettered it with the World Football Academy (WFA) two years later in the same capacity. Hiddink happened to be the Ambassador in WFA.<br \/>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In 2011, he along with Gary Speed was responsible for making Wales FIFA\u2019s most improved Team in that year, an achievement that was showered with lot of praise. Verheijen was also the assistant coach of the Dutch Women\u2019s team in Euro 2009, helping them reach the semis of the competition.<br \/>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Verheijen is currently the assistant manager of the Armenian National Team.<br \/>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Raymond will be conducting his Course at the FICCI Auditorium and there will be both theoretical and practical sessions. Coaches from I-League Clubs, private Academies and all AIFF Contracted Coaches would be attending the same.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>New Delhi:<\/strong> Three World Cups and European Championships!
