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\u2019re building on that foundation by working on one of the most crucial attributes of a midfielder: how to get out of tight spaces.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll see the key coaching points around body positioning, scanning, first touch, and decision-making under pressure. Plus, I\u2019ll run through practical drills that simulate real-game situations so you can take these straight onto the training pitch.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Texas Camp \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8<br \/>\nHouston \u27a1\ufe0f https:\/\/jonerfootball.com\/houston-texas-november-2025-joner-football\/<br \/>\nDallas \u27a1\ufe0f https:\/\/jonerfootball.com\/dallas-texas-november-2025-joner-football\/<\/p>\n<p>3 Day FREE TRIAL: NEW JONER APP \u27a1\ufe0f  https:\/\/linktr.ee\/jonerfootballapp<br \/>\n(30% OFF ANNUAL PLANS: DALE30)<\/p>\n<p>GET OUR LIMITED EDITION APPAREL HERE \u27a1\ufe0f https:\/\/apparel.jonerfootball.com\/<\/p>\n<p>Join our broadcast channel on instagram<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/jonerfootball\/<\/p>\n<p>Become a FREE subscriber to Joner Football NOW<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC5wlBUZsx1r2IsO9-rvON6Q<\/p>\n<p>Train with us at Joner Football \u25ba  https:\/\/jonerfootball.com\/training-enquiries\/<\/p>\n<p>Social Media Platforms:<br \/>\n\u25ba TIKTOK &#8211; https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/jonerfootball<br \/>\n\u25ba Main Insta account: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/jonerfootball\/<\/p>\n<p>Joner Football Podcast:<br \/>\n\u25ba Itunes: https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/au\/podcast\/joner-football-podcast<br \/>\n\u25ba https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/5nfjEWYr7CBSTmM3deMd8I?si=da96a3ce6dd44b1e<br \/>\n\u25ba Soundcloud: https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/jonerfootball<\/p>\n<p>Download our Training Tools \u25ba  https:\/\/jonerfootball.com\/training-to&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Equipment used in this video \u25ba http:\/\/www.sklz.com.au\/<\/p>\n<p>\u25baMORE INFO &#8211; https:\/\/jonerfootball.com\/\u200b<\/p>\n<p>\u25baAll enquiries &#8211; leejones@jonerfootball.com<\/p>\n<p>\u25ba Shop: https: https:\/\/jonerfootball.com\/shop\/\u200b<\/p>\n<p>Equipment used in this video<br \/>\n\u25ba http:\/\/www.sklz.com.au\/<br \/>\n\u25ba https:\/\/deployfootball.com\/<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=biqjMqIJGGo\">source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is Part 2 of my How I Coach Midfielders series.
