Ross Whitehead🔥 • Sep 18It could be a few things:1) Your drills might have been pitched at the wrong level.2) Your drills were pitched at the right level, but your players were not in the correct frame of mind to do the drills at the level you wanted.3) Your drill was at the right level but your instructions weren’t clear enough.There may be other reasons I’ve missed.If it doesn’t go as planned (happens to us all), then just make the best of it - strip it right back to a more basic drill (as you did), or just have them… See more2Reply

Christian Garcia • Sep 18@Ross Whitehead I honestly think it was my instructions it confused them but could be the level also ? they’re U17 boys they should be capable of doing a possession based drill with one time pressing and the other supporting and we transition from box to box but like you said ill need to take a step back and figure it out better to try it again another time. thanks Ross !!1Reply

Kevin Middleton⭐🔥 • Sep 18Hey Christian, I always remember doing an exercise last season with a very good group of female players and as an activation session, I got them to drive to the middle of the square, where there was a mannequin.Once they were there, as they were facing the mannequin, they had to pass to the player to their left and run to the queue to their right.Could they work out their lefts from their rights?! 😂😂😂My point is that sometimes it’s not you, people get confused or are having a bad day.If I was… See more2Reply

Christian Garcia • Sep 18@Kevin Middleton yeah some of the boys seems off and I could tell it was one of those days for them. they started HS tryouts or are already practicing with the team so could be they were tired or mentally exhausted. I should start to check in on them before we start practice next timehaha 🤣 to be fair in the moment when demonstrating a drill I’ve come across not knowing where I was gonna go for a split secyeah definitely so the drill is a transition possession based game we have 4 players in po… See more1Reply

Kevin Middleton⭐🔥 • Sep 18@Christian Garcia sounds straightforward enough. I would try it again and see how it goes.Maybe start with a 3v3 arrival activity or football tennis. An activity that shakes off the days previous activities and gets them ready for football1Reply

Jamie Birch🔥 • Sep 19Things go wrong for all coaches all the time @Christian Garcia - at all levels! Experience gives you more tools in the toolbox to adapt, but adapting is fine! Listening to the players when they offer suggestions is also fine.Reflection is really important in coaching and that’s what you’re doing. Don’t worry about being perfect, it rarely will be. And sometimes allowing it to fall apart is worthwhile as well, football is a problem solving game and allowing the players to do that is good. Then step in correct a few things and allow them to problem solves again. 👍🏻1Reply
