@jimshapiro 1) Ensure your practices are as close to the game as possible.
2) Always have opposition to develop decision making at all times.
3) Always add competition to your activities regardless of the exercise.
4) “Catch them when they’re doing good” will improve players 10-fold.
@CoachDavidBaird@SundayShare10 Absolutely love this! A fellow coach I know uses the quote “winners do more” so when a team wins their game in practice, they get to do push ups etc. changing that mindset is brilliant.
@LeeDunneSoccer My last 6 U9 games have been 0-0 mate. I play a 1-6-0-0. Working on defending in a back 4 whilst also bringing the wingers back to protect the wide channels. Really happy with my clean sheets.
@movementcoachkm So goalkeepers don’t develop, players don’t get to shoot against keepers and then also players shoot less? Sounds horrific. Talk about over complicating player development. Players develop by participating in activities which resemble the game.
