Players that want to skip the boring stuff and get straight to the cool stuff. And, perhaps most commonly, just how do you create an exciting and effective practice.
At Coerver Coaching, what we hear all too often is something like,
“I’m frustrated, I spend all my time and energy creating what I feel is a great practice, and then at practice time, I find that the players don’t like it and as a result, don’t give it their best effort.”
So, how can you solve this?
Well, on this soccer coaching blog, we’ll be posting a soccer video series on youth coaching that we hope will help you.

Tip 4: Don’t give your players too much information. Keep it concise and try to give only a few key points in each drill. Use a plater from the group when demonstrating drills. This will give you the opportunity to explain and show how it should be performed.
Tip 5: Don’t commentate during the drill. You will only confuse you players and overcomplicate the situation. Collect you thoughts and comments and feedback to the group at the end of the session or during a break. This will give the players the opportunity to correct their mistakes next time.
