Works at I'm at Carl Wil под oedd, pal? In terms of my coaching role I'm at a Premier League club working in the girls academy. So I'm just working in the foundation phase at the moment, so I oversee the foundation phase, so we have a couple of age groups within that and I'd probably work with the under 12s at the moment within that.

Greens are going to be playing in this area together. Light blues playing together, dark blues playing together. What I need is, is two people from each colour. So two greens, two light blues, two dark blues, standing on a mannequin with a football. So you can only play off your colour. Alright? You can only play off your colour. So if I'm a blue, I start in the middle, I receive off mark. Mark, where are you going to go now? In the middle. Mark goes in the middle. My job here is to travel to any of the mannequins on the outside. So I'm going to travel with the ball to the mannequin on the outside. What colour am I playing? Blue, because I can only play blues. I'm only comes out wherever, plays in there. Where do I go once I've passed it? Into the middle. Then I'm moving round in the middle, waiting for my colour to then go out and play. Go and find and travel as quick as you can to the free mannequin. Ready? Let's go. Play. Let's go. Good. Might have to go and find another one. Good, Hilsie. Travel out. Good. Play it in. Good. Then travel out. Good, Ed. Good. It's going to be busy in the middle. Good. Travel out to a free mannequin. Good. Fire him in. No, fire him in, Will. We're going to do forward runs with and without the ball. So we'll start off with a technical warm-up, working with the players on plenty of touches, receiving and passing, but then having plenty of opportunities to run with the ball. And stop there. Relax. Back in the middle. Good. If you've got a ball on the outside. Okay, good. So run him with the ball. If there's big gap and there's a big space, I want to travel at pace into here. If it's tight, you might have to dribble a little bit. Before you get the ball though, you've got to do what? Scan and check your shoulders so you know where to go and where the spaces are. I know where you're going before you get it. Play. Let's go. Have you checked? Have you checked? Good, Ed. Good, Ed. Then travel out at pace. Good. Good, Jack Shiner. Drive. Drive. Big touch out of your feet there for space. Good, Carl. Big a touch. Big a touch. We had to travel to different mannequins with different colours on them, so there was a bit of visual awareness. You had to check where your man was before you could travel into that space. Now you can't go to a mannequin that's got the same colour as you. So if you're coming to receive, you can't go to one that's got the same colour as you. Okay? You've got to check your shoulder now. Let's go. Good will. Check it. Check it will. Good. And you checked as the ball travelled. Now it's a little bit one pace, though. You might just jog in, jog in. Bang. And then you're changing your pace and you come out. Do you understand? Then it's a quick movement to the mannequin. Then you might relax slowly. So sometimes change the tempo of the player as well. Do you understand? Let's go. Come on. Good a man. He liked that. Good. Up pace, Mark. Mark. Up pace. Quicker. Quicker. In terms of running with the ball, even before you have to run with the ball, what do you need to do? Scan and check. Know what you've got to do with it before you get it. Important point, because if you don't know already, then you're making up your mind, well, you've got what at your feet. Well, you've got the ball at your feet. Sometimes that's a little bit too late. That's when you get caught on the ball. Okay, so that was the first part of the warm-up. So Crenia, I'll come to you first. What were your thoughts around the practice? Yeah, the practice was really good. I think just to start off with it, it's a topic that you don't actually see be delivered that much. Forward runs, you know, I think it's quite rare that you actually plan a whole session around forward runs. Normally, you do a counter-attacking practice or something like that, which obviously includes forward runs, but for a session or a practice to just be on the topic, I thought it was really, really good and something that I need to think about coaching more in the future. I thought a set-up of the session was really good. The middle box was great because it then encouraged players to move as well, made it a bit more realistic to the game. It would have been very simple just to get in and passing around in a square, passing it and moving anywhere without the mannequins, dribble out to a cone and dribble back in like we've seen before. But I think the box in the middle and the colours of the mannequins around made it a bit more realistic to the players. The mannequins made it challenging because like you said, different coloured mannequins, the players had to come in the box, come out of the box, get their head up to receive and scan. I thought the way you coached it was really good. I thought obviously we only seen a really short clip there, but there was a lot of coaching points in there and the key one from me, what I wrote down, was dribbling versus running with a ball. It's one of my pet hates when you have a player out wide and you've worked really hard to get the ball out wide and they've got loads of grass in front of them and they take 20 little touches. It's one of my pet hates and thinking, just get the ball out of your feet and run properly with the ball. So that was really good that I picked on that. But no, I thought it was a really good session. I thought the size of it worked well. The players were moving all the time. They didn't really stop and really liked it. Yeah, I agree with a lot of those points, Carl. Yeah, I totally agree with all those points. For my part of you, I like practices that are busy in terms of a bit of chaos and I like practices that are loads of freedom for the players as well. So I think that really helped in terms of that. So those traffic in terms of all the players coming across plays and so forth, so the ball had to be manipulated and that's when it's that dribble, when it's that running with the ball, which I thought was fantastic. Lots of opportunities for the players to actually practice the topic, which I thought was great as well. And in terms of, at first, when you look at the setup, I was a little bit worried about, is it going to be a little bit too structured in terms of go there to there and so forth, but there wasn't in terms of identifying which mannequin to go for and so forth. So I thought that was really, really good. The only thought about it was, and still maybe trying to get my head around a little bit was, could we have narrowed the focus a little bit more because he's talking about forward movement or forward runs with the ball and without the ball. So especially when I work with the younger players, I'll probably narrow that down to one or the other. And just looking ahead of the practices that are coming up, I'll probably go into that a little bit deeper afterwards. The focus could be a little bit narrower, but the information that he did give as well was really good and I thought his coaching manner was fantastic. The setup was perfect, the players just went straight into it. I thought it was a really good practice. Yeah, it's a very good answer to refer. I like something that you picked up on there and I want you to elaborate if you're a bit more on that word, chaos. Because we have to look at sessions and they look kind of messy, but also some of the messiest sessions are probably the best ones because of the decision-making is at its peak. So can you elaborate a bit on that for us about why you use chaotic sessions like that? Yeah, I think just to try and get it more closer to a game-like situation in terms of there will be some sort of traffic going on during the game. Obviously in that particular warm-up practice, we don't want to be in a pose, but at the same time we don't want to where it's just a simple decision for them every single time in the ball, because it's that sort of constant practice where the ball comes in, same angle, same space. There's always that space in front of them to play the pass or to move into, because that's just not game realism, but at the same time we don't want to make it too difficult too early for the players in terms of being that opposition. So just by having other players doing the same thing as another group of players just brings in that chaos and that traffic. So, as soon as they receive the ball, that picture that they see in front of them will be completely different to when they received it previously and the next time, and the next time, and the next time. Whereas if we don't include that chaos and that traffic, then sometimes we can just replicate the same pictures over and over and over again. So I think it's really, really important. I think as coaches sometimes you worry too much about the practice looking good, because from the outsiders they're all doing what they're meant to be doing, and we think the practice is working so I think it's really important that we get down. It does get a bit chaotic and it does get a bit mad. I think especially for the younger players that's really important. That was coming up as well before, wasn't it Fleckie as well about the one where you say, okay, you've got to come in the square, turn out and receive and then you have to do that mannequin. I think that gave them a bit of variation as well. So it wasn't just that one mannequin where you come in and you receive and you back foot and you have to go there. I think it was actually go back where it came from if you want or you can do whatever you want. It was a lot more chaos to the practice. What's for Fleckie? I liked it, I really liked it, especially the warmth in terms of that detail of getting into it before we actually get into it, probably the meat and bones of the actual practice and the structure part of it. I really liked it. I think for me, similar to Ukraine in terms of that detail, I really liked the focus on that detail and the one thing that I picked up he says, no where you go before you get it. I really liked that one simple line, no where you go before you get it and then actually breaking it down to understanding why do you need to know where you're going to go before you actually get it and it's more referencing to looking, checking for space, checking for the opposition, checking for team mates, checking where the ball is coming from and all those references, but he's done it in one simple term and sometimes as coaches and I'm guilty this month, anybody that would give so much information that the players just become overloaded with it and rather than just having a simple term and saying this is what I want you to do, they kind of have some understanding of what they're looking at and then you can start picking it apart because he did. He started talking about checking, scanning, looking for the opposition, looking for the space more than anything, the mannequin of where you're going to go to it for me. It was preparing them for the running with the ball stuff and running without the ball because he was just making sure that they understand the technical requirements that's needed at that academy, Southampton, which obviously is a great academy. So for me, that was one thing that I really did pick up on. So creating something that you talked about, the one of the very first things that you said was running with the ball and dribbling with the ball. Just explain to us a little bit about the differences because I think a lot of people probably don't understand the differences or maybe don't understand the nuances between the two and what you understand of that and how you would coach that as well. To be honest, lighter before, it's something that I don't think a lot of coaches pick up on. Sometimes we see the players got grass in front of them and they just take two or three touches and get into the space. I think we see that dribbling when it's not such a good move of the ball. Dribbling is more in a tight area so when you've got to take small touches and you've got to manipulate the ball to maybe create space to get round someone, to play a little 1-2 or to get past someone in a 1-b-1. Running with the ball is a lot more listen, if you've got grass in front of you, get out your feet and travel and that's what it is. There's no glossing it up, that's exactly what it is. I think it's really good actually because that practice, you can do both of them. I think you can make forward runs by dribbling which like Carl has mentioned before when it is a bit chaotic and it is a bit tight you might have to move the ball and get round somebody but when you do turn out and you can see your mannequin and there's grass in front of you, get out to it quickly. I think that's the main difference I think it's very simple if you've got small touches on the ball, you dribbling if you've got big touches on the grass in front of you it's really good with the ball. I think I would agree with that. Carl, coming to you then with that then because I think this is something really interesting for me is do you think as coaches we have a responsibility to let players understand this then? Because I actually feel that we're probably doing a disservice to the players that we're always talking about dribbling, ball mastery everybody seems to want to be a number 10 nowadays and it's almost dropping into these spaces to then turn and then go and dribble when the reality is the game in both sides of the coin do you think we have a responsibility as coaches to be able to teach this and let players know what the differences are and that having one without the other is not necessarily a bad thing? Yeah I think you've got it. So if we look at that in terms of, let's say we were driving the ball then we do quite a bit of it in terms of the kind of where we're working at because it can change the game completely it can get a player from a certain area of pitch to a different area of pitch very very quickly When I first started looking at running with the ball or driving the ball we actually always had our heads or our thoughts around just going forward with it in terms of getting us from one end of the pitch to the other end of the pitch but having a look at it over the last few years we're doing quite a lot of work not just going forward but going across the pitch in terms of driving the ball because it can have such an influence in terms of the opposition in terms of shifting defenders and shifting units and creating space and so forth not just for yourself but obviously for your teammates as well and especially the way the modern game is going in terms of the physicality and the speed of the game and I think this driving the ball is really really important and then that just links into another different aspect of the game in terms of what plays actually have to do so I think definitely we should be able to give them all options in terms of all different elements of the game in terms of what may be required against different opposition in terms of the different circumstances within a game I'm 100% on ball manipulation at a young age we do loads of what we call as individual possession so we do lots of work when that player has the ball and that driving that running with the ball comes into that in terms of because if you can get past the player what's your next thing that you're going to do and usually if you've managed to get past that player that's usually opening up a little bit of space for you so again driving the ball is really really important for us Do you know what I feel like before you start that? That's a really key point I think we always think that we've run into the ball into two games forward, get forward, get forward and you just have been thinking then as Cardiff speaking then Cardiff like Kyle Walker for the city for example the way you look inside or drive with the ball inside to create space it's such a key part to the way the city plays because then you might have the ball dropping in and it just creates space wherever so you know I think it's something that I need to think about as well as coach a great point now really Kyle about actually driving with a ball don't have to just be that way all the time it can be the anxiety to create space for someone to drop in so really good that what's your thoughts about that Fluckie? I agree, I think it's spot on and maybe again that's some of that word not thinking about what Kyle's just said there about driving forward and driving sideways and really trying to move and shift that position for me as well I think there's two other things and one was actually mentioned in the video about change of tempo and we know that dribbling running with a ball completely changes the tempo of any game if we've got that space and we can take that space really really quickly then the tempo of the game completely changes and that's why counterattacks are really really exciting and change that tempo within that transitional moment I also think for me as well is what we're actually trying to retrieve with dribbling and running with a ball and one of the biggest things that we talk a lot about out here is to engage the rival to engage the opposition and almost taking that touch or that dribbling to trying to attract the opponent to create the space behind it to decide to them and now can we get the support around the ball or maybe away from the ball and that's something that we talk a lot about and that's one of the concepts that we work on at the club that I'm at as well of engaging the rival to then find other passes to either side to then penetrate going forward so not everything has to be taking on a player taking on the opposition it's about moving the opposition finding passes or even finding dribbling to go into the space and all those things and just really engaging the rivals and trying to engage them to come to you rather than you always going to them and that's something that we talk about I don't know if you guys have got any opinions on that I'd like to say your thoughts on that Yeah, again it's something that we touch upon in terms of actually just attracting we call it attracting players because I think it's a key part of the game as well because if you can just attract someone out and get them to come out of the position where they're at it just opens up lots of opportunities for you so there's a lot of key stuff as well to go back to that dribbling in the ball it's having that right touch that enables you just to come and attract the opposition player and then the next touch can you just get round them at pace so you're not even dribbling you're just shifting the ball in terms of its direction ever so slightly because that defender's coming at you to shift it to the right, shift it to the left and you pass them within a few seconds and then again because they've come out of that position then that's something else that's then got to come out of the position as well to come engage you it then usually opens up space for at least one of your teammates so I think again it's a really key point in terms of it's running with the ball but running with the ball under control making sure that when it's the right time you can just shift it one way or the other just to open the pitch up for you I like that word shift I think Greene you talk a lot about that don't you about shift and shoot and how important that can be in shooting and exercising but like you said Cal you can use it that way as well
