The 5-Minute Football Coach #176

Defensive energy, Using the whole pitch, Position cards

Hi there,

I hope you’re all well! Here’s your coaching tips for this week:

🙏 A special request

I’m making the best of the summer break to raise money for Cancer Research, an amazing charity whose work does benefit everyone.

To do this, I will hike up and down the Alps for about 24 hours in August. It’s a 65 kilometres long race, with 4,800 metres of climbing, so quite a challenge! Wish me luck, and all donations would be super welcome:

🏃‍♂️ Practice of the week

Now, back to football, and this little practice should be great to increase defensive energy and reactions:

🥅 Game of the week

Next, a nice game where support players and 4 goals should encourage everyone to better use the whole pitch:

💡 Idea of the week

And lastly a neat idea ahead for the new season: what about preparing position cards to remind players of each position’s responsibilities?

Hope you enjoyed this - until next time!

Fabrice
