UEFA B Coach

[Dan @dan_walker7]

Youth football in Australia seems very results focused compared to my experience in England. For coaches working with U13–U18s, what are your top 3 priorities for player development?

I have shared my UEFA B presentation on my philosophy and how we play in all 4 moments of the game to help provide a framework to those on the course, let me know what you think

How often do you ask your players what they want to improve?

For my UEFA B, I created a Four Corner Comparison model to find out each player’s perception of their strengths and areas for development.

Many players know the buzz word "scan" but do they know what they're scanning for?

I recently provided the IP framework, so now I am sharing the OoP.

This structure can enhance your players' decision making BEFORE making a defensive action.

Providing a framework for your players on what to look for BEFORE receiving the ball based on the principle of play will help them make more informed decisions.

A crucial aspect throughout the UEFA B process is creating Individual Development Plans for all of your players. Follow the link to see my Template.

How do you provide feedback to your players?

@Leecosgrove10 Definitely agree with you, Lee. The UEFA B taught me the level of detail required to get more out of my session but the fundamentals still apply! With more experience on the grass, I’m hoping to be in a similar position to you 🤞🏼

5. How We Support

• Think about the number of minutes each player plays and in what position(s).
• How do the units within your team link together?
• Track the match days you plan, deliver and review over a period of 12 weeks
