Throw-ins Giving players the autonomy/freedom to experiment & see what works in terms of space creation, seperation, type of throw etc. Engages players in all facets rather than standard scripted walk & talk scenarios. SSG with all restarts as a fast throw in @NCFCAcad – at Morrisville, NC

Second Contact Shape // Corner Kicks ⚽️ Almost 50% of goals from corners come AFTER first contact, how to maximize this moment - Frame the goal - Create stronger numerical match ups in key areas - ‘Remain Engaged’ #corner #setpiece #football #premierleague #Soccer #goal

Blocking Shots | Dan Burn 🗣 Key Points ⬇️ ▪️ Taking small steps. ▪️ Not allowing the opponent to shoot between your legs. ▪️ Keeping your feet 'under your body'. ▪️ Working with the GK to 'split' the goal.
