Course reviews

Good to see Brian back at our old Club, really good game beaded video.

England

Would love an introduction of how he introduced the game to begin with, numbers etc and what the stipulations were on the recycle etc

USA

Excellent skills training

New Zealand

My players realised a marked improvement with their in game communication and organisation after being put through these drills. Brian’s game based sessions are super effective and the players love them.

Australia

Love the concept of saving the drill (5m channel passing) as a means of re-focusing technique that may be suffering in the larger team games and then returning to the game.

Canada

good video from the former England coach

Malaysia

Too much ball gazing…this exercise would be more effective if ball receivers position themselves a lot quicker and get the spacing and alignment correct opposite the defender to create better passing lanes to “Hold” your defender therefore creating more space out wide. Looks cold there :) nice BA nice

Typically Brian – always entertaining, good entertainment and a common sense approach (althought that’s not too common) towards team attack and the space. Thoroughly recommend this video.

New Zealand

Really liked this video from Brian Ashton. He talks a lot about the short passing game and its something that interests me as a schools coach. The majority of teams attempt to play with width using wide passes but I love the way mark ella (australia backline in 70/80s) threatened defences with the short passing game. If possible could Brian elaborate on this topic as Id love to develop my understanding of the short passing game thanks. Dermot
