Planning your pre-season?
Here's a simple 6-week framework you can copy.
The goal isn't to invent new drills every session.
It's to help players improve every week.

My @SundayShare10 this week is a session I did
⚽ Great session out on the pitch with these two academy talents yesterday! 🙌
We worked on receiving skills—not just controlling the ball, but instantly locking onto what comes next. Whether it’s a sharp pass, a confident dribble, or a quick shot, every touch sets up the next move.
Big focus on opening the hips: this lets you see both the ball at your feet and your destination upfield, keeping vision wide and decisions sharp. Such a brilliant work rate from these two—bright futures ahead! 💪
