Run, catch and pass. If you can master the fundamental skills in all these films in pre-season, it is a great foundation for you coming season. It just gets better and better.
It is true that the saleman who sale the watch to Ben was promoted to CEO of that firm ?
Great fundamental passing plan and great reminder.
As a level 2 coach but in my first season coaching my clubs U10s side I am learning to approach coaching from a slightly different but enjoyable perspective. The way Ben delivers his catch and pass lesson indoors is informative to watch. One point I would make though in relation to the Communication question of Name and Action is to include Listening skills into the mix. An important part of the process I believe especially with the younger players. Apart from that Ben as usual delivers excellent and enjoyable lessons and I learn a lot from him.
