🗣️ Coaching
🤔 @coach_jh7 teaching a young player how to receive the ball to create space, have a sharp change of direction, and then exit into the space he’s just created for himself
❌ The player makes mistakes the first few times
🤝🏽 Josh works with the player, explaining and demonstrating with more detail
✅ The player executes the skill
🫡 Standards and Consistency
📊 Our Icon sessions ‘score’ drills
A big thing for us at Gen is using these scores to set players standards, with the aim of consistently meeting and beating their own personal standards
📈 An improvement in the scores and standards means the player is improving
🎥 Shout out Filip for always putting in an incredible effort and reaping the rewards of his training 👊🏽
Try this yourself 🤝🏽
✅ Super quick, simple and effective warm up with @coach_jh7
🔺 This is just the start/set up - Forward pass, set, forward pass in a triangle…
📈 Progress it by having players;
🔄 Change direction of the drill
👣 Dictate which foot/touches
↔️ Introduce more movement
🚦 Add external triggers to react to
🎥 @romanlunn@leo.fevzi3 and Rory making it look easy 👊🏽
❓The objective of a Warm Up?
🗣️Get players physically and mentally prepared for the session
✅ In 2 minutes, this drill gets players physically going and mentally switched on
🎈Football players love a challenge - as soon as you ask them to keep the balloon in the air for 10 hits, just watch how engaged they are and how fun they find it, wanting to try and beat their previous best

🎥 Thanks to @beyourbest for the clip
2️⃣ touch making players 2️⃣ footed
👀 See where your first touch has to take you…
🧠 Work out the best way to get there, using either…
👣 Your left foot or right foot…
🦶🏽 The inside, outside or sole of your foot…
📏 And how much weight you need behind your touch to cover the distance in one…
🎥 As ever, shout out to these 2 boys who keep their standards high, the work ethic relentless, and the attitude humble @mason_n_logan 👊🏽🤝🏽
🤺 1v1s and ‘Skill Combos’ have a place…
But there are different elements to be able to be an effective dribbler…
👀 When travelling with the ball, can you still see the picture, or are your eyes fixated on the ball?
🌭 When you hit a technique, can you sell it so the defender falls for it? This might be a simple drop of the shoulder 🤷🏽♂️
💨 Can you take advantage of the space and accelerate away from the defender? Or are you too slow to get away?
📏 Can you take the a touch with the right amount of weight? Do you know what’s the most effective technique to execute based on where the defender is?
👣 Can you go either way? Does the defender know what way to show you, based on you being too reliant on one foot?
🧠 Do you know what to do AND when to do it?
🤔 It is literally impossible to fulfil your overall dribbling ability by repeating 1v1s and ‘skill combos’
