Youth players
Working with kidsWhen working with kids, I focus on creating a fun and engaging environment that builds their confidence and basic skills. I use age-appropriate drills like agility ladders, cone games, and simple passing and catching activities. I keep instructions simple and incorporate lots of encouragement and positive feedback. I also use games and playful competition to keep their attention while teaching teamwork and basic football fundamentals. Each session is structured to maximize movement and minimize idle time, ensuring they stay engaged and active.
Working with teenagersWhen working with teenagers, I focus on building foundational skills, refining techniques, and introducing game strategies. I adapt lessons to challenge their physical and mental abilities by using more advanced drills like reaction-based cone work, position-specific skills, and small-sided games to simulate real-game scenarios. I emphasize discipline, accountability, and teamwork while tailoring drills to their individual goals and strengths. My approach balances fun with focus, ensuring they develop their confidence and understanding of the sport while staying motivated.
