Focus: Evaluating the athlete's weaknesses and strengths. Tailoring a session based on this info.
Warmup - FIFA 11 soccer warmup, covers all of soccer's physical movements.
Session - start with basic drills to gain a solid foundation in soccer skill, focusing on the basic fundamentals of how to control, dribble, trap, and kick the ball. Then moving on to various drills that are specifically created to replicate a scenario that will most likely occur during the game. This scenario-driven drill will vary depending on the athlete's position. For example, strikers and midfielders will shoot on the goal a lot more than a defender would during a game so the strikers and midfielders will practice this action in my sessions much more than defenders.
