@RJPcoach Is it that time of year again already … 4 is a CDM 🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Late season blues. Motivation drops. Energy levels drop. How can we raise the levels? Competition. At least that is what I have been trying with the college U19s. Make all the elements competitive. Split training into two teams early on. Use a board and keep track of who wins each section. Part 1 - Competitive relays with and without the ball. Score each race. Part 2 - Competitive passing/rondo. First team to a certain number of passes. First team to regain and score. First team to knock the ball off the cone. First team to a certain number of split passes (if there are two or more in the middle). Part 3 - Competitive shooting and finishing. First vs the goalkeepers. 1v1 - Pass set and strike - Third man finish (up back and short diagonal). Then vs goalkeeper and one defender. Then vs goalkeeper and two defenders. 3v1, 3v2, 4v2 + GK. Part 4 - Competitive small sided game. Small area with target players in opposition half. Part 5 - Match. High tempo game (service from the coaches). Five points for winning the game. Raise the energy.









Imposter syndrome is more common among football coaches than you think. I’ve suffered from it in all walks of life, and still do. Here’s why it’s not something to be ashamed of 🧵





Imposter syndrome my old friend! Starting out wondering why anyone would listen to me. Thinking that I'm not good enough to wear my hometown club badge. Convincing myself I'm out of my depth in academy coaching. Wondering why coaches would listen to me as a tutor. A thread🧵










My #SundayShare is a quality video of the practical session from this weeks CPD event, and my session plan for the practices I delivered. It was great to share the practical with Mark Haining, we got a good balance of repetition to realism and different types of challenging.
