Hi All, This is 3-2-1: 3 ideas, 2 practices, 1 question. My new email to replace Session of the Week! I hope you like it. This week: the 1v1 your players meet most. *3 ideas to coach* 1. In the adult game, estimates suggest 75% of 1v1s have the defender behind the attacker, and I think this area is undercoached in youth football. 2. Players who understand why execute better than players who copy. Explain the mechanics, connect it to game situations, make it relevant to their position. 3. Four mini goals can train a different principle each time you change the rule or position of the goals. I mean, who doesn't like scoring goals?! Use this to your advantage to encourage the behaviours you want to see. *2 practices* Attached *1 question* In your last match, how many 1v1s did your players face with the defender behind them?
