These manipulations of the ball are called skills; it is crucial to master a number of skills to become a solid soccer player.<\/p>\n<p> Here are a few examples:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Driven pass<\/li>\n<li>Heading<\/li>\n<li>Scissors move to beat an opponent<\/li>\n<li>Volleying the ball<\/li>\n<li>Side foot pass<\/li>\n<li>Back heel<\/li>\n<li>Chest control of the ball<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The list could go on and on.<\/p>\n<p>Problems arise&nbsp;when a coach has a group of players with&nbsp;parents who&nbsp;expect results, and a team that is set on doing whatever it takes to win. When this happens, we oftentimes don&#8217;t refine the important skills that we will use to be successful in a game.<\/p>\n<p>I recently held one-on-one training for players that I primarily coach in a group setting, and the results surprised me. Because of a change of environment, various areas of need were revealed in each player. This sharpened focus on the individual showed the technical skills that need to be corrected. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The bottom line is, when you focus on the group, you miss a lot of the finer details, which is why private coaching is such a vital component of a player\u2019s development.<\/p>\n<p><em>Private Coaching<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The best way to help a player successfully master technical&nbsp;skills is to&nbsp;allow them to practice these skills in a game-realistic scenario. Game-like scenarios are important because so many different factors affect how the player should respond, like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Their position on the field<\/li>\n<li>The position of the opponents<\/li>\n<li>Where the goal is<\/li>\n<li>What the score is<\/li>\n<li>Where their team mates are on the field<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Therefore, if we completely isolate the skill and just practice the skill itself, it will be difficult to use in a game. However, if we can practice that skill in an environment that creates some of the factors that a player may face in a game, then they are more likely to be able to accurately apply it in a game.<\/p>\n<p><em>Practical Example<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Isolated &#8211; a player spends two minutes striking stationery soccer balls.<\/li>\n<li>Game Related &#8211; a player must control a game realistic pass into space and strike the ball towards the goal at speed. Repeat 10 times.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The major difference is that the isolated training is a situation that is rare &#8211; players generally strike a moving ball. By adding the control of the ball and the quick strike &#8211; it becomes a realistic practice.<\/p>\n<p><em>As a coach &#8211; you have a duty to ensure that you are helping your players to improve their skills, while training them in a way that empowers them to use them in a game!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Soccer, like many sports, involves a collection of movements that are performed to manipulate a ball as part of an invasion game.
