The 5-Minute Football Coach #54

Distanced sessions, Most watched drills, Listening

With many countries recovering from the Covid-19 crisis and gradually lifting their lockdown restrictions, now seems like a good time for the 5MFC to restart!

Here are your 3 picks for this week:

📖 Topic of the week

First, a booklet of training sessions specifically designed with social distancing in mind, which could be very handy.

⚽️ Practices of the year

Next, as we are already planning for next season, here are the 5 most-watched training drills that we shared during the 5MFC’s last year. Including

• a “heads, shoulders, knees and cones” warmup

• a Kids vs Ball passing game

• a 4-corner game

• a 3v3+3 game (possession, pressure, attacking with wide runs)

• and a finishing drill straight from Middlesbrough FC

Enjoy!

A little bit rushed with the animation this evening, but a good training component for switching the play/point of attack. Lots of decision making for the team IP & OOP 🧠 @TacticalPad @tacticalpedia @SessionShareNet @bestsoccerdrill @socdrillsonline

💡 Idea of the week

Finally, a good reminder from Dan Abrahams about a crucial coaching skill: listening.

“You have to care and you have to listen and you have to make them feel special. When they FEEL special they will hit that learning and performance sweet spot”

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