I am making an effort to share a session a week 😎 Dynamic Pair Warmup I once saw an adult team do this warm-up, and it fascinated me.

Please let me know what you think

Hi Coach, I created this simple graphic for a 7-a-side coach I am mentoring. It shows the penetration angles available to a player when passing.

See you next Tuesday, Kevin 360TFT

Player Development Pathways #28: The Specialisation Phase Members will get this session straight into their inbox Everything changes between ages 14 and 16. Growth spurts, attitude shifts, social pressures, and the beginning of specialisation. Coach them like children and lose them. Coach them like adults too early and overwhelm them. The Problem: Coaches who can't adapt to the psychological and physical changes of adolescence, either being too controlling or too permissive during this crucial development period. The Session That Fixes It: One Touch, Two Touch Goal: Develop position-specific skills and advanced tactical understanding while managing the psychological challenges of adolescence and increasing performance expectations. Try this approach and watch adolescent players thrive during their most challenging developmental period instead of struggling with changes. Ready to master adolescent development? Our Football Coaching Academy includes specialised coaching for managing teenage players effectively.
