Interesting from here from Martinez…and FIFA. Must watch for any coach.
Shame 1v1s aren’t a key part of most clubs and courses curriculums here!

In a world where you can be anything, be a number 50

[ArchaeoHistories @histories_arch]

In March 1881, Scotland travelled to London, put on one of the greatest performances in the history of international football, and the man wearing the captain’s armband made history that the world would then forget for over a century.

His name was Andrew Watson.

He was born in British Guiana to a wealthy Scottish father from Orkney and a local woman named Hannah Rose. Brought to Britain for his education, he fell in love with football and turned out to be so gifted that Queen’s Park, the most influential club in Scotland, made him one of their leading players and later a club official.

Then Scotland made him their captain.

And on 12th March 1881, in front of a packed crowd at the Kennington Oval in London, Andrew Watson led his country onto the pitch and into the history books.

He became the world’s first Black international footballer and the first Black man to captain his country in association football.

Scotland went out and destroyed England 6-1.
It remains England’s worst ever home defeat in the history of football to this day.

Watson won only three caps for Scotland, but never lost a single one. The scorelines in his three internationals were 6–1, 5–1 and 5–1. Scotland scored 16 goals with him in the side and conceded only 3. He also went on to become the first Black player to win a major competition and later the first Black player in the FA Cup after moving south.

Then history forgot him entirely.
For decades, his name barely featured in the story of the sport he had helped shape. It took dedicated researchers, old records and rediscovered photographs to restore him to his rightful place. Today, Andrew Watson is recognised not just as a pioneer, but as one of football’s most important early figures.

A pioneer.
A captain.
A man who walked out in front of a hostile crowd in London, led his country to one of the most famous victories in Scottish football history.

Remembered now. As he always should have been.

This simple drill is the only passing practice you'll ever need.

Passing drills need to be:
• Simple
• Sharp
• Constantly flowing

This practice keeps players from being static, constantly involving everyone:

Most youth coaches know they should implement the ball into warm-ups.

But many don't know how, overcomplicate it or do it in a way that doesn't warm players up.

Here is the simplest possible passing warm-up to use before your next session:
