Day 3 - 2008
New player recruited by seniors. Not bad - even plays keeper. Not bad at all.
Did ball control today. It's almost a sin that I have spend time on trapping - but it had to be done. Did headers and body trapping too. Dribbling and more dribbling with juggling. Freshmen need to practice this themselves. Let them have some fun with power and finesse. Small sided games - mostly 6 v 6. Started grouping some players together to see the interactions. Also to see if a bubble player steps it up and takes control. Some of that did happen - some did not.
I have some very nice shooters this year. Question is - are they willing to work and work hard the whole game and the whole season?
My forwards MUST chase back and pressure, pressure, pressure, run and TALK.
My Mids MUST make runs and cover all of the time. They MUST work with the forwards and defenders without doubt or prejudice and TALK.
They have Friday and Monday to show me what they have.
Good for ONE get out of penalty for Friday is:
After the first warm up run - when you circle up, there will be a bag of balls. Take a ball out and just go to the middle of the circle and announce which fake you will do. Do your fake 3 times correctly, put ball back in bag and get back into the circle. Do it in this order and get one free pass.
