This 102 page eBook explores one touch training and movement off the ball and includes 90 pages of drills that you can do with your team. One Touch Training: Teaches the player WHEN to play one touch; and when NOT to play one touch. We are teaching players to have a ONE TOUCH MENTALITY. A One touch mentality teaches players to recognize the best options; and therefore make the best DECISIONS; BEFORE and in ADVANCE of receiving the ball.                                             Movement OFF the ball: This mentality conditions the mind of players OFF the ball to position and move to help the player who is receiving the ball. This means we want players to always; at every moment; THINK:  “I only have One touch”; therefore this will force players to always do what I call the “LOOK and THINK” before they receive the ball to see several options and pick out their best option, which may actually be to DRIBBLE!! When you use these training sessions consistently you will see the development of that relationship between having a ONE TOUCH mentality and Movement OFF the ball. So in a nutshell: LOOK (before receiving the ball); MOVE (find space off the ball based on positioning of teammates and opponents): THINK (what is my best option?): EXECUTE (the Decision; or the SKILL Factor).

PDF Preview of "Breaking through a compact defense" Author: Athanasios Terzis Publisher: Institute for Youth-Soccer, (IFJ96) Pages: 79Graphics: 60Drills: 10 When attacking against a compact team, the spaces mainly in central areas are restricted. In occasions like these it is almost impossible to break the lines of the opponents by playing through. However, there are other ways to break through the defence by using alternative tactics. If appropriate steps are followed, such as moving the ball to a free player, playing an accurate pass, receiving behind the defence and these steps are combined with the application of specific principles by the forward (receiver), such as having the appropriate positioning and using well-timed runs, the ball can be played over the lines towards specific areas that the opponent defenders can’t defend. Diagram: Positioning of the forward between defenders the moment the pass is played Drill: Forward uses appropriate positioning and a well-timed run to attack effectively the space behind on the weak side Another option to break through a compact defence is by attacking through the flanks. To be effective when attacking these areas, once again specific steps should be made. Firstly, the ball must be moved to a player who has the appropriate passing angle to direct the ball either to the winger’s feet or towards the space behind the fullback. Then the player in possession has to read the positioning of the opponent defenders and make the right decision about where to direct the ball and what kind of pass should he play. Finally, the winger has to find out where is the right space to receive, behind the defence or on his feet. If it is behind the defence, he has to make the appropriate run which should have specific characteristics. Diagram: Winger has available space to receive on his feet and go for the 1 v 1 Drill: Winger receives on his feet and goes either for the 1 v 1 or for an early cross This book which is based on the tactics of Marcelo Bielsa and Pep Guardiola also includes drills to help coaches apply the analysed tactics to their teams, by simply adding or adjusting them to their own training sessions.
