75% of 1 v 1s in the English Premier League are when you are facing your goal and someone is behind you. As coaches we generally coach 1 v 1s when you’re facing a player in front of you and you know where they are coming from. A variety is always important.
You can set up
Seeing this a lot recently with youth ⚽️ clubs and coaches throw the word “development” out there but are very selective on who they develop and they call themselves player developers.
Don’t just focus on the good players, focus on all players at all levels‼️
A game of ⚽️ is chaotic most of the time at youth level, so it’s not bad idea to design a practice where it creates problem solving and decision making while having fun. This can be adapted with number of players.
Enjoyed completing this free course
@EnglandLearning
aimed at coaches working with 4-6 year olds. Highly recommend it for coaches, if you looking to get more ideas and understanding with those age groups.
A fun activity for players working on finishing under pressure. Players will come across different situations and will have to execute different types of shots.

Great activity to use with U6-11 age groups. This can be adapted in different ways and with number of players.
Progressions:
- If you can do more than two skill moves before getting to a different side of the area, you get 2 goals.
- Number of defenders you beat before getting
Powerful video! People often forget the purpose of youth sports. Create a positive environment, keep it fun and help children develop a love for the sport and then could become lifelong participants of the sport.❤️
This 1 v 1 activity is aimed for players to keep possession of the ball in a small area. It’s great to keep everyone moving and ball rolling time high⚽️
Heard a youth ⚽️ coach once during a training session with 10 year olds say to the children that “defenders should not be dribbling in our own half.”
This is bonkers to me, you only have to look at the top professional defenders in the world, they can break lines in different
🌟 Belief is the foundation of greatness! What sets apart exceptional teams and individuals? BELIEF. When you believe in something greater than just winning, you unlock the potential for something truly extraordinary. Ange Postecoglou understands this well. It's not just about
Passing and receiving activity.
Another progression - players on the outside can pass the ball to the player that does not have a ball to challenge the awareness of the player in the middle even more.
Few kids playing ⚽️ will have the courage to play in tight spaces, If a coach does not encourage them to play with risk or freedom.
Not everything has to be controlled by you as the coach. It’s easy asking kids to pass the ball but what's difficult is giving them the freedom &
Youth ⚽️ Coaches tips for Pre-season training working with children:
▪️ Avoid fitness “drills” - you can disguise fitness in games by changing size of the area or by setting certain challenges. Make it a playground environment where you can incorporate fundamental movement
@JacobBrownDOC
I always say everybody you meet will know something that you don’t know, you can learn from everybody that you meet from all walks of life.
Passing & Receiving Exercise⚽️
Save✅ | Share🙌 | Try it with a partner👥
Don’t take this time to dwell at current situations of the world. Stay active and master your craft‼️💪
Youth ⚽️ coaches/parents: You can still help develop a young child’s ⚽️ ability and not see winning results of a game.
Development and winning do not always go hand in hand. We all develop at different speeds.
No secret to progressing as a coach. But you have to be willing to invest time in preparation, to learn, confront mistakes, and personalize your journey. Mastery takes so much time. Be patient.
@CoachingCruz
100% to be able to outplay your opponent in 1 v 1 situations is such an important skill set to have in the modern game. A player who is good at it can enjoy and change the game so much more.
How are you telling players to “stop toe-poking the ball..” when World Cup winners and the best 9 of all time is scoring goals like this?
For another example type “Romario” into YouTube.
“Outplay”.

Kids love playing ⚽️, It's what they want most. We are coming into a danger where kids are used everything being in an organized environment and constantly being coached.
Motivation is not about giving players an inspirational speech, but rather constantly providing them what they need to be successful.
- Support and involvement
- Automany and authority
- Learning & development opportunities
- Coach availability & time
- Praise: personal & public
This is a great activity you can use with young players. It can be adapted in many ways and a great way to develop players comfort and confidence on the ball while having pressure from an opponent.
Why I am seeing on social media
“private ⚽️ coaches” doing weight training with 7,8,9 year old children. 🙄🫣
It’s crazy to still see so many uneducated coaches putting on poor practice with the amount of education, information and research out there…
Completely agree, Too many youth ⚽️ coaches trying to prepare 9 year old children to play like adults. Prepare them for the next phrase in their journey. Don’t skip over important development steps just for your coaching ego.
@TheKyleCWilson
Great question, a common misconception in youth ⚽️ is that just because you are on a “top team” that means you’re a top player. A lot of it goes down to your location and competition in the area. You could be one of the best kids in the area or club but compared to other areas or
Played this with one of my teams this week. Area size can be adapted with number of players you have.
Progressions:
▪️When the attacking team breaks out towards goal, one defender can enter and try to stop them from scoring.
▪️Change the numbers in the teams to make it
Great message from Gasperini. Coaches, You can win in so many different ways. We all have different goals and situations that we face. Focus on your path and enjoy the journey!
This is a great game to create a highly competitive and fun atmosphere. Every time I have played this with my team’s, players have loved it. You can adapt this in different ways. As a coach to keep the tempo high have a bunch of ⚽️ available and ready.
Players: sometimes the difference of winning a game of football isn’t the team with the better players but the players who have the courage to get the ball, lose it and try get it again⚽️
Enjoy it, it’s a simple game‼️
Inter’s Ronaldo is probably one of the greatest forwards football has seen.
His dribbling instinct was just mesmerizing, he had everything…

Coaching is not an event or even a training session, it's an ongoing process. Observing, listening, talking, probing, challenging, reflecting, supporting, innovating. Always looking for ways to help understand and then influence performance.
One of the players mums from this team lost her hair due to cancer, so the whole team shaved their hair to show their support.
This was her Xmas surprise ❤️
Don't live worried and upset. Be still and know that He is God. You don’t have to be God. You don’t have to figure it out. You don’t have to come up with the solution. God is on the throne.
It may not be easy, but your destiny is calling. You have greatness in you. Don’t let people talk you out of it; don’t let circumstances convince you that you can’t.
Who are your best friends? You want to know the definition of a best friend? It should be someone who brings the best out of you, not someone you have to act a certain way around to be cool.
I forgive all man of God keep pushing to be the best person I can be🙏🏼 real talk. Let the negative be negative stay positive and work hard results will come in time
