A typical session with me will focus on skills and will progress to position like drills. First, I start with juggling and based on the level the player is at I can give more challenging instructions or continue to improve on the basics. Next I like to work on the basics of soccer. I call these vitamins which are one touch passes, volleys, thigh traps, etc. Again depending on the level I can do basic to challenging. Always working to progress to harder drills. Usually I do shorter distance drills at the beginning (are also more intense) and progress to more tactical at the end. After Vitamins I like to work on dribbling and/or passing always having basic to advance drills depending on level. To end a training session I like to do shooting (which I find to be the most fun and all the players I train do as well). This is general what I do but will modify depending on each individual. I like to make every training a bit different but still the same purpose so the player can always be excited for a session.
