I believe that when a girl loves soccer she will and shall give you 100% of her time and effort to practice and learn to win the games. Being coach you would have to be a bit more strict and not let them complain, frequent water breaks every 15min and let them stretch a bit in place to relax the muscles. Change up the drills and ask them what they think they need to be doing and need more help in!
