The 5-Minute Football Coach #68

Combine and finish, When to press, Yes moments

Hi there,

I hope you are all well!

Here are this week’s 3 coaching tips:

⚽️ Practice of the week

A nice setup to work on combination and winning 1-on-1s against recovering defenders.

⚽ Touchtight Coach @touchtightcoach

🔥⚽️ A great little pre-season practice that works combinations, 1 v 1s and 20m recovery runs. Rotate to ensure all players get their repetition of sprints.

📖 Topic of the week

From the English FA’s YouTube channel, a good bit of coaching for younger players: how to spot a trigger to press, or not to press, by looking at your striker’s movement.

Note this is part 3 of a whole session, see also part one and part two.

💡 Idea of the week

Brilliant tip on motivating your players: get them to enjoy their Yes! moments.

Have a great week!

Fabrice
