 our head is at or my head is at with some of when building something you know um have you found with a lot of your coaches like so level wise so if you start like a program that's like a three six month program or whatever yeah and are you and you do small groups are you only coaching like one level or one age because obviously you can't really have a 14 year old with like a seven year old in the same group um so do you run I remember seeing in one of your videos you said you went from running a bunch of sessions to only running like three a week um because you adopted this small group mentality and so um with that being said you know do you work with different levels or do you work with like one level and one age or do you run multiple sessions a week which I don't think you do because you said you run three times of different age groups it's a good question good question so when I when I made that transition to groups I had kids of different age groups and different ability levels now it was quite difficult at the beginning but what I had to do is I had to change my coaching and the way I changed my coaching is I made it all completely technical training where if we did do like one b ones for example or or or situations where it was competitive then I made sure players of similar ages and ability levels were paired together but everything else was literally player and ball and everything you know they they're doing the same drill but they're working by themselves in that group so there was no pressure now what's going to happen with with your program and this is just something that happened naturally is kids start to come and go and the ones that stay are then what happens is it's it's that's how the business then starts to grow because I remember for example I had one group of six players when I switched it into groups four of them were 10 years old and two of them were nine over time the nine year olds left and then what happened was that another two 10 year olds came in and that group just naturally became a group of under 11s okay okay so sometimes you just have to adapt your training to what you're working with yeah but what the most important thing is you have to make sure you communicate that to parents okay because when parents when parents sit there and watch your session and they see right there's a seven-year-old there's a 10-year-old that there's an eight-year-old you know they don't they don't all they see is the different age groups like they don't know what's actually happening so you just have to make sure and this is something I learned very quickly over communicate with parents right yes I understand there's different age groups but this is how we're going to work with your child and this is the type of training we're going to do to help them okay now some parents won't like it other parents will like you and they'll stick with you it's just it's part of the game yeah okay but you have to just make sure that from from a coaching perspective you are ticking all the boxes you're communicating you're showing parents what you're working on okay and you're just treating each individual as an individual rather than as like a team at a club
