❌ STOP asking the children, “What do we need to find?”⁠ ⁠ Why? Because they’ve become programmed to respond with, “SPACE!” without thinking.⁠ ⁠ It’s almost a routine answer now - like saying “yes” when you hear your name.⁠ ⁠ Instead, try asking them this: “What can you do to be ready to receive?”⁠ ⁠ It forces them to think. ⁠ ⁠ This simple question encourages them to question themselves and can help them piece together a mental checklist of all of the things that they need to do in order to be ready to receive the ball! ⁠ ⁠ - Have I found space?⁠ - Am I on the half-turn?⁠ - Are my arms up to feel for the defender?⁠ - Am I on my toes, ready to move?⁠ - Have I called for the ball?⁠ ⁠ So, in your next session, ditch the default “What do we need to find?” And instead, challenge them to think in a new way. ⁠ ⁠ And don’t forget to follow CoachJonnyFFF for more coaching tips! ⁠ 🟡⁠ 🔵⁠ ⚪⁠ #FootballFunFactory #CoachJonnyFFF #FootballCoachingTips #GrassrootsFootball #YouthCoaching #FootballTra...
