Hes this good and plays in league 2... The level of competition is insane.

The competition at the top is so marginal

They’re not that different physically compared to the PL; the difference is in mental speed.

So this should make you understand that at the higher and higher levels.. it is about your football intelligence and how you use it to your advantage.. what are you exceptional at on the field. Figure that out then how can you implement that aspect more often into a game situation. The elite know and can do this. The lower down the leagues they cannot

[@timeemac]

I really like that you showed a lot of reps in this video. I try to teach my kids about the importance of consistency in higher level play. Gavin didn't score every goal but he was never far off.

[@training121]

@@timeemac that’s absolutely right, consistent set-up always leads to consistent strikes. What age group are your players? 😁

[@timeemac]

@@training121 12 year olds. They're just getting to the point where they want to learn advanced techniques. I'm teaching them that it's not enough to know how to do any technique advanced or fundamental correctly, you have to train it properly until you can't do it wrong. Being able to show them a video with a pro doing a bunch of reps in difficult situations and still being close to perfect on every single one will help reinforce that point.

[@training121]

@@timeemac We love to hear it. We will be releasing a players only Members section on KZbin soon, the lads may get some benefit from that!

[@andreirazvandinca7045]

Using the fence is such a smart idea , the ball will bounce off quiet well but it will also be umpredicatble just like any pass you could recieve in game some come fast some come slow some bounce

[@training121]

Absolutely correct! In 1on1’s you’ve got to use as much as you can to create practices applicable to the player 🤝

I think you can get him going even faster through the gap on the shooting drill maybe even after his initial touch to open it up one touch and a burst of pace

Guys what app are you using there on the ipad for his checking his shoulder ?

[@training121]

It’s just a video with the colours alternating - we have it at about 3 mins long

[@krisvarghese]

which app do you use for the scanning drill?

[@training121]

It’s just a video with the 2 colours changing. It’s about 3 mins long but can make whatever way you want

[@abdulrahmanshaik9718]

what is the rest duration he takes

[@training121]

With these sessions it’ll always vary - depends on his energy levels, type of session, loading requirements (in-season/off-season etc.) But generally, you’re looking at 20ish seconds between each strike in a set and then with the round-up of footballs and any coaching points in between, there’s about a 2-3 min break between each set.

this quality in league 2??

[@training121]

Yes. Insane!

[@glyntaylor-williams3593]

Training without real defenders is a waste of time.

[@sroth2021]

i always hated training drills like these being given a bunch of instructions to remember, turn this way, pass over there, run over here, receive it on the half turn, take it round the cone, take one touch, and pretend you have to get your shot off quickly when there is no jeopardy.

[@jorgenb7608]

I agree. I don't think these drills transfer well to real match situations. I have met people that looked insane at these solo drills yet they were average at best during matches. Same applies on the other end of the spectrum, people that were simply good at these drills, but damn, during matches they were so good.
