Week 76 One to One #10

Instructions/Setup:

This three-phase finishing drill focuses on timing and quality of runs between mannequins and finishing from different angles. The player will make successive runs: first between mannequins for a finish in the gap, then in behind the mannequins for a low finish, and finally across the shoulder of the mannequins to finish at a more acute angle.

Coaching Notes:

• Time Runs Precisely to Stay Onside and Create Space – Perfecting the timing of each run is crucial to get clear shooting opportunities.

• Use Explosive Acceleration to Beat Defenders (mannequins) – Quick bursts between mannequins simulate game scenarios where sharp changes of pace create chances.

• Keep Body Balanced and Eyes on Goal for Quality Finishes – Maintain composure and focus to execute accurate finishes from varying angles.

• Adjust Finishing Technique According to Run Type and Angle – Use different finishes (placed, driven, or chipped) depending on the position and shot angle.
