Coach, I wanted to ask you for some advice. Right now, I train 3 times a week at the academy and do 2 solo home sessions a week, while Friday and Saturday are my rest days. My dribbling is quite poor, and my aerial ball control (first touch on high balls) is okay, but it still needs some work. What do you recommend I focus on or add to my routine to fix these weaknesses?"

My current coaching environment in Thailand is very small-sided driven, 7v7 being more popular than 11v11 (both watching and playing). As a result, everything I coach is 7v7 - 24 minute games, 2 x 12 minute halves, squads of 12 If you was in this situation (the game being very intense, very physically demanding due to heat and humidity) how would you manage a U18 side? Consider training and games 1 suggestion I've had in the past from the ex-Academy Manager at Chelsea was to switch players every 3 mins so that they could go at 100%. Tried it a few times - some games beneficial, others not and similarly some players liked it, others prefer growing into a game
