Transcript

Rich: Hello my name’s Rich and welcome to Premier Skills English - Premier Vocabulary.

Jack: Hi there! I’m Jack. We’re here to help you with your football English. Premier Vocabulary is a mini-podcast for you to learn football English one word at a time. 

Rich: Don’t forget you can always find the transcript for all our podcasts on the Premier Skills English website. We have three different levels for you: easy, medium and hard.

Jack: This episode is easy so we’re looking at common football words and phrases; things you use and need to know to play the game.


Rich: The word we are looking at in this episode is: training.

Jack: There are two common uses of the word training. The first is when we talk about learning something - usually when it’s connected to work or doing a job.

Rich: Companies provide their workers with training so they can do their job better.

Jack: As an employee, you might get training in something. New members of staff might need training in specific computer programmes or new managers might need some training in business management.

Rich: Companies provide training for their staff.

Jack: Employers might offer specific training programmes or courses or they may provide training sessions on specific topics every week or month.

Rich: When we talk about football, training is also connected to work as training is designed to improve footballers skills and fitness levels.

Jack: Training is what footballers do at work on non-match days and it’s what football clubs provide so players can do their jobs better.

Rich: There are some common collocations that are used to talk about training.

Jack: Players go to training. Professionals go to training every day or nearly every day but kids and adults who play at an amateur level also go to training.

Rich: You might have a match on a Saturday or a Sunday and go to training on Tuesdays and Thursdays for example.

Jack: We talk about training sessions. After training, you might say to your coach or trainer that that was a really good training session.

Rich: A training session might last an hour with warm-up exercises, a focus on one area like shooting or passing and cooling down exercises.

Jack: Within a training session you might do training drills. A training drill is something that you repeat many times to improve.

Rich: Other common phrases include pre-season training, warm weather training or back in training. Pre-season training is the training that players do before the football season starts to increase fitness levels and get match fit.

Jack: Warm weather training is when a club travel to a warmer country in the middle of the season. 

Rich: I think that’s something only professional clubs do.

Jack: Yes, you’re probably right.  Another phrase we sometimes hear is back in training.

Rich: Yes, we often hear this when a player has been injured. The trainer or coach might say that a player is back in training. 

Jack: This often means that a player is training but not quite ready to play a match yet. 


Rich: There is the final whistle!

Jack: We’ll be back soon with more Premier Vocabulary from Premier Skills English.

Rich: Bye for now and enjoy your football.

I'm used to do some bodybuilding or even functional training every day.
And I also go to football training almost every day. It's what I do as my job.

I study English for at least 30 minutes every day.
This is my language "training".

And every Saturday and Sunday morning, I go jogging to keeping in shape.
This work out also is my "training".

But I have not gone to football training...

I was long ago at a football training for a few weeks in the school gym sometime around 1974. All football skills which I have collected are, though, thanks to my father, who taught me football ABC and gave useful advice all through my life, and street&yard football.
