This is Part 2 of my How I Coach Midfielders series. About two months ago, in Part 1, we focused on how midfielders can be more aware and think faster to make quick decisions. Now in Part 2, we’re building on that foundation by working on one of the most crucial attributes of a midfielder: how to get out of tight spaces.
You’ll see the key coaching points around body positioning, scanning, first touch, and decision-making under pressure. Plus, I’ll run through practical drills that simulate real-game situations so you can take these straight onto the training pitch.
And while the focus is on midfielders, these skills are valuable for every player on the field who wants to stay composed, protect the ball, and turn pressure into opportunity.

Absolutely awesome job everyone 👏 Thanks Lee as always! I was a CM all my life and Absolutely love it! ⚽️ These drills are truly key for a midfielder!
is ball mastery helpful
Just come across your channel and I'm so happy I did! I coach current u14s, we started at u9s, basically with kids that couldn't get a team. This channel will help me massively thankyou very much 👏👏
My favorite saying at practice.. I'm 40 something years old and doing it better than you. Glad i'm not the only one!
Will you be coming to Washington state?
i must say, i greatly appreciate the fact that your video didn't show how everyone is flawless. This shows all their mistakes, all the things they need to correct, and you all pointing it out. This is so incredibly helpful when i'm working with my own players. Thank you so much.
Coach, ditunggu untuk Fullback🙏
Fast feet, vision and is a way to go
This is so helpful. Thank you.. Now I have to practice with this Guide and surely my game will improve 😊
Thank your sir. We are indeed greatful.
