This training drill can be used directly after your physical warm up to get the balls moving and also to get your players zoned in. It is also a great training to layer, meaning you can start it small and easily make it longer to suit both handballing and kicking without having to alter the...
The problems with junior sport participation, including football, are very real. And let’s not think it’s just “juniors” either, we’re talking pre-teen and teenage participation numbers as well. 1 very crucial thing we must all remember when there is a change in how football is run at club or league level, is that it is...
Part 1 looked at starting positioning. Part 2 looked at what the mids and wingers do at the stoppage clearance. Part 3 looked at how your forwards position and move based off how we want to move the ball out of the stoppage. Part 4 here looks at what happens if we don’t win the...
Part 1 looked at starting positioning. Part 2 looked at what the mids and wingers do at the stoppage clearance. Part 3 right here will look at how your forwards position and move based off how we want to move the ball out of the stoppage. If you go back to video 1 and 2...
Game Plan Video Part 1 looked at the starting positions to run this specific game plan from a stoppage. As stated in that post, if all players are not in the correct starting positions then there will be holes in your player and ball movement, and a turnover in a dangerous position might be on...
I made this up late last year based on a specific but popular ball movement option of using the quarterback position at the stoppage. Utilising the quarterback player/s efficiently and effectively is a team strategy over individual, as it requires great discipline to initially set it up then also to hold your position, create the...

Why are you here then?…” https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2873343-what-made-kobe-different “…I have such a narrow focus, so I didn’t have much time to socialize at all.

In my original tribute Facebook post to Kobe I touched on what he was doing in the coaching of junior players and really believe he would have changed how junior coaching is done with what he was doing and how he was doing it. It wasn’t really anything new but for someone as competitive as...
I had this on my to-get list for some time and finally got it 2 days ago and read it all in 1 hit. Here are my favourite bits: “…the biggest element that changed over time, however, was I went from watching what was there to watching for what was missing and what should have...
