Giving the ball away isn’t solved with just “better technique”
Football is so much more than that.
Sometimes they’re playing a pass they haven’t even seen.
Sometimes they’re playing a pass that was available a few seconds ago,
And football is for ever changing.
Their teammate has moved. A defender has stepped across. The passing lane has closed.
That’s why I help players understand what to look for before receiving: where their teammates are, where the pressure is coming from, where the space is and which options are available.
So they can choose their next action based on what’s actually happening and use their ability more effectively in matches.
