This week's session aims to toughen up your players and give them confidence they need when faced with a one v one situation.
This session aims to unlock your players' creativity to beat their opponents' on 1v1 situations. They will learn what works and what doesn't when trying to get round the last man in defence under your guidance. Encourage them to try a combination of speed, feints and skills as they develop into a defender's worse nightmare - a confident player who can beat their opponent is great to have in those match winning situations. This session is packed full of drills that involve sprinting, decision making, awareness and dribbling. This session is fun, competitive and great to assess your players' individual qualities. Use this session this week and enjoy a successful season, the only way is up!
