Description
Defending is an art that's in decline. Even large academies often neglect it, deeming it too 'technical'. This book sets out to change that by providing effective exercises to teach players how to defend in all situations. Based on the concept of Deliberate Practice and recent research into talent development, this book offers a structured approach to delivering training sessions that challenge players physically and mentally. The 50 exercises are designed to be adaptable to suit different teams and players, with a focus on making soccer complex and realistically difficult. This means no easy passing drills or straightforward games - just challenging scenarios that require quick decisions. By using these exercises, coaches can accelerate player development in an enjoyable way, helping their teams improve their defensive skills and enjoy the process of learning.
