Author: Peter Schreiner Pages: 92 Pages Practices: 47 Level: U11-PRO PDF Preview of  "Goal Scoring Training System - Levels 05-08" For years, Peter Schreiner has been engaged in the topic of "shooting training in soccer." In the training of young players, targeted shooting training is often neglected. Yet, players love training forms with a focus on shooting. In his new series of booklets/eBooks, Peter Schreiner shows his systematic shooting training in 8 learning levels. With targeted detail coaching, players are helped to avoid mistakes and to perfect their behavior when shooting. This avoids shooting the ball at the goal in any old way during training and – what is even more regrettable – in competition. Players learn to successfully put the ball into the net in a variety of situations. Schreiner He has analyzed over 1500 goals of top goal scorers in Europe and developed a training concept. This was followed by lectures worldwide, including for the AEFCA and the BDFL, as well as practical presentations in seminars and at conferences. Goal Scoring Training System - Part 2 The systematic development of a goal scorer takes place in eight successive learning levels, starting at age 7 and bearing fruit in the high-performance area.  In this eBook/booklet, the difficulty level is increased. Level 5 introduces shooting exercises under more challenging conditions. The pass before the shot is no longer always flat but comes as a lobbed ball. In levels 6 and 7, time pressure and opponent pressure before or during the shot are central. And in the final training level, it becomes very game-like. In learning level 8, it's about game forms where the shot is required under competition conditions. Learning Level 5: Difficult Conditions - Shooting after a Lobbed Ball Players convert balls thrown at them with foot or head. They shoot at the goal under difficult conditions (after a cross, shooting after turning, a sprint, or in a jump). Learning Level 6: Shooting under Time Pressure Players apply different shooting techniques in shooting exercises or group competitions under time pressure. Learning Level 7: Shooting with Opponent Pressure Offensive 1 vs 1: Players shoot at the goal after a duel or an attack by an opponent. Learning Level 8: Game Forms/Competitions In game forms with numerical advantage (neutral players) and equal numbers, create and convert scoring opportunities under the greatest opponent pressure. Shooting in competitive situations (competitions in the double penalty area/on a reduced field with 2 goals).

PDF Preview of  "Scanning, Movement off the Ball Behavior and Teaching One-Touch Thinking" Author: Wayne Harrison  Publisher: Institute for Youth Football, (IFJ96)  Production: Peter Schreiner, Jörg Amthor Pages: 147 Graphics: 93 In this eBook Wayne Harrison explains the basic principles of developing the One Touch game and presents his training of first and second contact and the development of two-footedness. Players are often very good at playing with lots of contact with the ball, i.e. dribbling, turns and running with the ball, i.e., training and playing in a more technically oriented play. Unfortunately, far too often our talents are not as good at quick thinking processes and quick decision making, especially when playing with one contact. That's exactly what this e-book aims to teach! The practice and game forms always have one goal: To develop composure in possession of the ball, to reduce the time and number of ball contact and the number of ball contacts needed to keep the ball in motion. In addition, by becoming more aware of everything around him, the player in possession of the ball can use his imagination to make better decisions. Which applies to the same extent to the players without the ball. The point is definitely not to have the players play at a high speed, and always one-touch, but to teach them to be aware of all the possibilities (with correct foot position and body posture) even before a pass is made, in order to make one of the following decisions: Should I play the ball with one contact? Should I hold onto the ball until another option opens up? Is this the time to run with the ball, dribble, pass, cross or shoot? This training will enable the player on the ball to quickly control it with one or two contacts. In doing so, he will recognize his options so that no third or fourth contact is needed to see where the opponents are, so that he also does not need so that he does not need any additional contacts to get out of the way successfully. We train their bodies for footwork and their minds for decision making!

PDF Preview of "Build-Up and score goals with the 3rd man" Author: Athanasios Terzis  Publisher: Institute for Youth-Soccer (IFJ96) Pages: 107 Graphics: 79 Drills: 12 The tactics about the 3rd man and the 3rd man’s run which is analyzed in this book, is part of the tactics used by Jurgen Klopp with Liverpool, Julian Nagelsmann with Bayern Munich, Marcelo Bielsa with Leeds United, Pep Guardiola with Manchester City and Luciano Spalletti with Napoli.  Specifically, the 3rd man combination is an important element of positional play, in which three attacking players are involved. The objective is to create a free player with available space in advanced position, behind the line of pressure and then move the ball to him. So, when it is applied successfully it can lead in breaking at least one line of pressure. Diagram: 3rd man combination during the execution phase – Moving the ball to the free player The 3rd man combination can be used in several match situations such as when building up from the back in order to break through the pressure applied straight to the GK or to the central defenders. It can also be used against a medium or a low defensive block to help the attacking team break a line of pressure and move the ball to a free player between the lines. Diagram: Breaking through the pressure applied to the GK Except for the 3rd man combination, the book analyses the patterns of the 3rd man’s run that are most frequently used during matches, either in the central areas or wide. The 3rd man’s run, like the 3rd man is also a combination which involves three players. The objective is not to create a free player and move the ball to him, but to move the ball to an attacking player who is on the run, usually behind the defensive line of the opponents. Diagram: 3rd man’s run – 2nd pattern So, if the application of the combination is successful, a goal scoring opportunity can be created. The book will present the most frequently used patterns and the match situations that each specific pattern can be used, as well as how each pattern can be adapted to various formations. Diagram: Pattern 2 of the 3rd man’s run –Applied with the 1-4-2-3-1 formation The analysis of the two combinations (3rd man and 3rd man’s run) is followed by several drills to help coaches apply the analyzed tactics to their teams, by simply adding or adjusting them to their own training sessions.

Authors: Peter Schreiner, Jörg Amthor, Sven Hübscher Pages: 64 Graphics: 50 Exercises: 50 Offensive 1 vs 1 - 50 Exercises and Competitions Speed of Execution and Action Competence Dribbling exercises with a focus on ball control, twists, changes of direction and tempo changes certainly have their justification and are particularly useful in basic training if they are used in doses. The skills learned in basic training should then be developed as early as possible application-oriented in exercises and competitions. The successful design of offensive 1 vs 1 situations is always a great challenge for an attacker, because most defenders are well-trained in defensive tackling and also experience shows that they are extremely physical. Therefore, players in all leagues and levels are still very much in demand, who are capable of playing relentlessly attacking opponents in order to open rooms, to create a numerical majority, or to finish on the goal unchallenged. Players like Arjen Robben, Ronaldo, Franck Ribery, Lionel Messi, Alexis Sanchez or Neymar have a dribbling success rate of around 40-70%, which makes the difference. Which skills are necessary? What characterizes all these players - what makes them different? First of all, all these players master almost all known dribbling techniques, body delusions and feints from the bottom up and apply them flexibly to the situation. In addition, they have extremely high basic dynamics and an explosive start. Her body control is phenomenal and the action density is very high. But these factors alone are far from enough to describe the level of these world class players. They are characterized by additional skills with which they can decide games on their own: These world-class players are fast-reacting to the fast-changing and complex game situations (space, teammates and opponents, ball movements, etc.) and make almost intuitively correct decisions based on their experience. The key words for this are "Speed of Execution", and "Action Competence". Example - Drill 35 - Double 1 vs 1 on staggered goals Organization/Structure Playing field 40 x 40 m, set up two goals with neutral goalkeepers diagonally opposite. Additionally, mark two counter lines with pylons. Divide two teams and have them lined up diagonally opposite. Balls in both goals. Procedure • Both goalkeepers simultaneously play a flat pass (1) into the run of the • sprinting attacker A (1) • With the pass, the defenders sprint into the field and attack the • Attacker as far as possible away from the goal (1) • The attacker A should immediately receive the ball into the direction of the goal (2), dribble past B and finish (see graphic on the left) or play off B and finish (see graphic on the right) (3) • Wins B the ball, he counters as quickly as possible on the counter-line • The attackers and the defenders face each other on opposite sides Variation • The goalkeeper opens with a throw, a long ball or vertically on the other attacker Variation Dribbling exercises with a focus on ball control, twists, changes of direction and tempo changes certainly have their justification and are particularly useful in basic training if they are used in doses.

Author: Steven Turek Pages: 60 - Graphics: 53 Pressing-Resistance​ Tactical Principles – Match Solutions - Drills​ Steven Turek: „Pressing-Resistance is the ability to identify the opposing pressing, resist it and purposefully outplay it.“ Every coach knows the situation: The own team builds up the play and is early pressured on. Passes are desperately played from one player to the other, until one clears the ball long. What’s needed in these situations is call pressing-resistance. The ability to identify the opposing pressing, break it and purposefully outplay it! In order that your team becomes individually as well as team-tactically more pressing-resistant, you’ll find the following chapters in the eBook:​ Tactical principles to identify the opposing pressing Valuable changes of perspectives Fundamentals for an individual skillset to break pressing Specific Strategies to solve a blocked goal-kick Match solutions for the play on the wing and in the center Practical training exercises for a perfect transfer onto the pitch A core element of most offensive strategies, is usually the attempt to press the opponent into motion, more precisely, into sprinting. Pressing distinguishes itself by players creating high pressure on the ball carrier. Why don’t we consequently consider that opposing pressure in a positive way and use it for our own strategy? That’s exactly the aspect I want to discuss in “Pressing-Resistance”. „The opponent only has ten players as well. If he creates numerical advantage somewhere on the pitch, somewhere else has to be a numerical disadvantage - that’s simple logic.” (Carlo Ancelotti) Exploit the weak points of the pressing! “If a coach considers the opposing pressing in a positive way, strategic aspects become more important, because: Behind every good pressing strategy is an idea, how the ball is supposed to be won. To counter that strategy, I developed all kinds of match solutions, which orient on common pressing strategies and specifically focus on weak spots. To focus on these weak spots, it can happen that specific types of players find themselves in unfamiliar positions on the pitch. Therewith, I purposefully want to provide suggestions and break up common thinking patterns.” (Steven Turek) Chances and Risks If Pressing-Resistance is successfully implemented, different advantages emerge: A favorable ratio of players in the attack after successfully outplaying the first pressing-line Adjustment-Mechanisms of the opponent (for example quick dropping towards their own goal, strategic fouls and so on) Demoralization of the opponent, when pressing-strategies don’t work

Authors: Peter Schreiner, Norbert Elgert Pages: 48 Graphics: 26 Exercises: 22 The Art of Playing Attacking Soccer - Part 3 - Positional Games Forming triangles - Creating superior numbers on the ball - Open body position - Recognizing and exploiting gaps - Securing ball possession The third part of the series "The Art of Playing Attacking Football" is all about the importance of a good positional game as a requirement for successful positional attacks. A positional attack is always started when a fast counterattack isn’t possible. It is characterized by a secure build-up from the back and safe passing sequences from the first third over the midfield in the attack zone to prepare goalscoring opportunities.

PDF Preview of "• Individual practices for midfielders" Italian Training Concepts - Part 9 Individual practices for midfielders Author: Luca BertoliniPages: 71Graphics: 48Exercises: 46 There is an era of midfielders before Pep Guardiola and another era after his seasons at Barcelona; Busquets, Xavi, and Iniesta have changed the positions in the field and the meaning of the word, and the role. Following the word, midfielders are the players who stand and act in the middle third of the field; from this point of view, Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard have already changed the role, creating the box-to-box midfielders. On the other side, Guardiola's Tiki-taka is over at this stage of tactical developments. However, the consequences of this period are still affecting soccer, as he created the attacking midfielders, "using" Busquets as holding and defensive midfielder in front of the defensive line. In his proper definition, a holding midfielder is probably the purest form of a defensive midfielder, as he holds his position close to the team's defense. There are 3 types of midfielders that protect the back defensive line, launch the building-up phase, and support the consolidation and possession phases of play. The proper defensive midfielder, the holding or deep-lying midfielder, and the deep-lying playmaker. Other types of categorized midfielders are the hybrid midfielder, who doesn't help the defense as a first task, but he acts as the game's flow requires, or the box-to-box midfielder, who plays with excellent Positioning, defensively and offensively. Are the wingers midfielders? Or do these players act in a completely different role? Are the inverted fullbacks midfielders? The wingers become "Mezzale" in the building up and defensive phases of the 1-4-4-2. If the mezzale are destructive players, they become Mediano(s). Jürgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola have created the final review of the midfielder's role definition in Germany and England; the inverted fullbacks allowed the midfielders to act as attackers and push up fullbacks have required the wide midfielders to patrol the half-spaces and the flanks at the back. The No.10s are now midfielders, attacking and pressing midfielders. Even though they are not frequently immediately involved in the building up phases, they are now points of reference in the possession, consolidation, and finishing stages of the moves. Eventually, technical skills, flexibility, awareness, and peripheral vision are the main requirements for a midfielder who must: Support the building-up phase Allow a center back to stand wider Move the ball at the back Allow a center back to stand wider Cut off the pressure lines Allow a center back to stand wider. Use the goalkeeper as a back apex to create a 3 v 2 duel Manage the ball in the middle third (possession and consolidation phases) Back apex, behind the attacking lanes, and in front of the defensive line. Support the finishing stages of the moves. These are the situations of play which the book aims to coach.

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 "Rondos and Positional Games for Coaching of Tactical" German Top Level Tactics - Part 8Rondos and Positional Games for Coaching of Tactical Authors: Levent Sürme, Martin WengPages: 87Graphics: 61Exercises: 50 50 Rondos and Positional Games It is well known, that each training session consists of several parts. Rondos are now a firmly planned element in almost every session. There are probably very few coaches in the world who don’t include them in practices. Usually built in a rectangle, for example exercises in 4:4 + 2 or similar take place. In particular, Pep Guardiola, during in his time at FC Barcelona and later at FC Bayern Munich, made positional games more and more popular in many variations. But each Rondo has its own details and outcomes. This eBook includes: 10 Rondos for pressing 10 Rondos for offensive transitions 10 Rondos for playing deep 10 Rondos for attacking the final third 10 Rondos for speed up decision making Of particular value is the information regarding coaching, organization and possible variations. Peter Schreiner - IFJ96 The ebook by Levent Sürme and Martin Weng is something quite special.
