Week 75 One to One #1

Instructions/Setup:

In this individual technical drill, the player begins by working on fast feet and first-touch control around a small area or cone setup. After a short period of sharp movement, the coach calls out a colour. The player must quickly react by sprinting to one of two coloured poles positioned on either side, collect a ball placed next to the pole, and finish on goal with minimal touches. This drill combines quick reactions, agility, ball mastery, and end-product under light pressure.

Coaching Notes:

• React Quickly to Cues – Encourage players to stay alert and explode toward the correct pole immediately after the colour call for realistic reaction training.

• Sharp First Touch – Reinforce the importance of a positive first touch to set up an efficient strike without breaking stride or rhythm.

• Controlled Speed – Players must balance sprint intensity with technical control when transitioning from footwork into the finishing action.

• Quality Finishing – Emphasize clean, accurate strikes on goal, focusing on body shape, timing, and composure after high-speed movement.
