At this point in the season you might find that the stronger players in your squad are beginning to dominate the games and the weaker players are not as confident on the ball, giving it away cheaply. Give everyone in the team the confidence to be able to beat and player then move the ball on. Once everyone is happy on the ball, the team dynamics will see everybody fitting in perfectly.

Give your players more confidence when carrying the ball and taking players on, so that when they?re next on the ball, they?re composed and willing to take it under pressure, beat a player then move it on.
