Getting better on your own (4 great exercises!)
Parents and Friends,
We’ve all observed kids practicing on their own at the fields and they are nearly always doing the same thing… they’re taking shots.
Then they chase the ball down to take another.
Sure, it’s fantastic they’re out there having fun but it’s pretty much useless in terms of quality technical training.
It’s essentially wasted time because it’s not PRODUCTIVE.
When chatting with new families one of the main concerns they have is their child doesn’t know how to practice on their own
Their kid has never been encouraged to do so nor been given guidelines on how to individually improve their game.
At Soccer 1:1 every player in the program receives a handout on footwork, fundamentals and ball mastery exercises specific to practicing on your own.
And I make it a requirement that they follow through.
How? The kids maintain soccer journals with their practice days and I read them at every session.
This makes players...
