Here are your highlights for this week:

⚽️ Practice of the week

A pretty minimalist 2v2+1 setup from Middlesbrough FC. Nice to see that such setups (2v2+1, 4v4+2) can be used from mini-soccer all the way up to professional football!

📖 Topic of the week

Throw-ins are an often-overlooked part of the game. As it turns out, Liverpool FC use a professional throw-in coach. So why not work on these just as much as you would with other set pieces?

As a simple starter for 10, check out these couple of throw-in set plays.

💡 Idea of the week

A good video on the meaning of taking 1, 2 or 3 touches, especially in the context of rondos:

We often see youth players in the US playing at high revolutions. They play 1-touch even when they have space to dribble! Consequence of this, they play by reaction and not comprehension, like robots. Coaches, please be very careful with the "play quick" message.
