Use this session to help your players get the better of bunching teams, by using the full width of the pitch, switching the ball out of trouble and into space to change the point of attack.
To make sure your players lift their heads and pass the ball away from danger into space we work on creating space and spreading the ball. If one side of the pitch is congested your players should switch the ball across and attack the free side - sounds simple, and it is... when you're stood on the sidelines! Make sure your players can see what you see.
What's in the session?
Using fast passing, quick thinking and plenty of movement you'll be able to get your players taking up wide positions on the field - taking defenders with them and stretching your opposition to breaking point!

The next frontier in football coaching is not physical, it is mental. Cognitive load training - the deliberate use of perception, decision-making and dual-task demands inside football drills - is reshaping how the best academies develop players. Here is what it means and how to use it.
If the last decade taught us about pressing, this one is teaching us about what stands behind it. Rest defence is the shape your team holds while attacking, and it is the difference between dominating a game and getting picked off on the counter.
