The 5-Minute Football Coach #52

1v1 decision game, Football at home, Giving feedback

Here are your 3 picks of the week. And a reminder to please fill in this 2-minute survey to help improve the newsletter! 🙏

⚽️ Practice of the week

A simple game to work on decision-making in 1v1 situations - and a chance to highlight the importance of the first touch.

📖 Topic of the week

Following on from SuperKicks last week, here are more ideas to keep yourself and your team busy at home:

• a nice blog on how to set ‘Home challenges’ to your team, on Heja (a really good app BTW)

• a series of individual challenges worth giving a try

• the TopTekkers app for players to use throughout the year

• and finally a lengthy collection of sports resources for home: movies, books, apps and more

Enough to keep entertained for a while!

💡 Idea of the week

Isn’t it nice when science confirms what we knew from intuition or experience… A recent study from the Barca innovation hub explained the qualities of good player feedback: concise, focused, prepared, visual. Spot on!

I hope you enjoyed this. Have a good week and stay safe!
