📖 Topic of the week

Matches can be a good source of ideas for training - but how do you take a specific match event and turn it into a drill, game or session for your players?

Meet Mandavia provides a step-by-step walkthrough of this process, well worth a read.

💡 Idea of the week

As Arsene Wenger put it, “Top players have radars in their heads”. A really good article on the essential skill of scanning, from the Training Ground Guru. 

I didn’t know it was called scanning, but I knew it was important. That’s why I was shouting ‘pictures’ at Frank. You need to gather all the information you can before receiving the ball, so you make quick decisions once you have it.

-- Frank Lampard Snr

Have a great week!
