Why
Thoughtful Soccer Player Training?
For
soccer players who want to reach the highest level, several practices
a week with your team might not be enough. Here's why.
Soccer
is a sport of options. The more options you've got, the better.
Can you shoot a ball that's flying through the air or rolling on
the ground? From different distances and angles? With either foot?
Player Training will help you develop all these options and more!
What
will the players work on?
- Thirteen
types of shots, using either foot.
- Chipping
with either foot
- Heading
- Controlling
balls in the air
- Dribbling
past defenders
- Dribbling
for possession
- Passing
and keeping possession in small-sided scrimmages.
