Hi there,

I hope you’re well. Here are your 3 coaching tips for this week:

⚽️ Practice of the week

First, a very good talk-through from Wayne Harrison of a session, seemingly simplistic, but focusing on awareness and movement. Simplest is often best!

🥅 Game of the week

Next, a 2+2v2 mini-game about defending while overloaded: deny and delay.

Lastly, how do you handle a player being critical of others? See below for a great way to use this positively:
