Description

In this episode, I share why I always start my soccer sessions with unopposed technical training — even though some coaches wouldn’t.


After talking with a fellow JV coach and alum who gave me great feedback, I wanted to explain my approach and the strategy behind it. For me, it’s about getting a high volume of touches, maximizing football actions, and never wasting time.


I also touch on what happens in the brain during repetition — and why that foundation helps players think faster and perform better when it matters
