Practice planning is one of the most important parts of youth soccer. Nick goes in-depth on planning an entire season's worth of sessions, including a specific practice aimed at helping a U-19 player get recruited, and how these sessions can still benefit the entire team. The guys then discuss how to deliver information without talking too much. Jason shares a recent U-9 session focused on overloads and Nick provides feedback on how to make this session even better.
