Daniel A. Yes, Daniel, I use the same language, but with a silent fourth S, which is Strike. For me, it's about recognising when and how to attack the box, particularly when the ball is on the opposite side, and making sure you arrive towards the back post to attack crosses, rebounds and second balls. 👍🏻

Hi Ryan,

Glad you are enjoying the content. 

We have a couple of projects that are coming to a close but also others that we want to put our full attention to (Bielsa, the main one). It’s not in the short term plan but we are happy to jump on a call and support with anything you may need.

3v3 Practice 1 is up, and the 3v3s start here

After ten 3v2s, The 3v3 Game moves to full numbers: three v three, one big goal at one end and three small ones at the other.

That makes 41 practices in the collection. The full practice is attached below.

New: Coaching the Number 9 – Como's Tasos Douvikas

The Champions League's top scorer does his best work without the ball. Our latest tactical analysis breaks down how Douvikas gets beyond the defensive line, with clips from Como v RB Leipzig and Manchester United:

• Stretch: staying high on the diagonal and blind side of the centre-back, and drawing him deeper

• Spin: the triggers to run in behind, the side-on body shape and curving the run

• Show: dropping beside and below to link the play, then going again

• Where to stand, how to stand and when to go: the details worth coaching with your own 9

The full collection is ready and includes today's live class, where we go through all eight clips in detail.

Hi Jeff, we have great counter-pressing practices in this collection. Let us know if you need any more support.

YUIAO They are the same set-up, but with different patterns. 

YUIAO Can you explain in more detail please?

Thanks for your feedback. We appreciate your point about making practice design accessible to more coaches.

Just to clarify, Keynote is Apple’s free software, not a program we’ve created. Our £250 course teaches coaches how to use it to design their own football practices, drawing on skills and methods we’ve spent years developing. The price reflects that experience and the work involved in turning it into a course.

We could include it in our subscription, but that would mean increasing the subscription price for everyone. As many of our members prefer using our existing practices rather than creating their own, we’ve kept the course separate so only those who want that training pay for it.

We hope that helps explain the thinking behind it, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your views.

The animations are done on Keynote, which is available on Apple devices. Keynote is free on Apple devices. Our Keynote course provides templates for creating animations, along with classes on how to do so. 

We have our Keynote course available, where you can create the practices.
