This Session looks at putting your laces through the ball as we work on your players' ability to score from distance!
Sometimes the pitch opens up, defenders are backing off and the best option is simply for your player to put their laces through the ball and have a pop on goal from distance.
How many times have you heard the crowd shout "SHOOT!" when players like Paul Scholes, Mezut Ozil or Stevie G are bearing down on goal? That's because the occasional long range effort can catch keepers off guard and score spectacular net-bursting goals.
That's what this week's session is designed to do - to encourage your players to take the opportunity to strike when they're presented with it! Power is a bonus but the main aim here is for your players to get their strikes on target - to test the keeper and create rebounds for your players to pounce onto!

The next frontier in football coaching is not physical, it is mental. Cognitive load training - the deliberate use of perception, decision-making and dual-task demands inside football drills - is reshaping how the best academies develop players. Here is what it means and how to use it.
If the last decade taught us about pressing, this one is teaching us about what stands behind it. Rest defence is the shape your team holds while attacking, and it is the difference between dominating a game and getting picked off on the counter.
