Telling is not TEACHING...
There are many great strikers of the ball on the Pro Level that
have no clue how to TEACH what they know.
We find this in golf all the time. Some of the best players are
not good teachers.
There are many great coaches that get frustrated by showing the
right way to kick, then in a game, the OLD kick returns. Just as
in any sport or anything we learn, there is a PROCESS to
learning and teaching the right way. It is NOT enough simply to
know it, you MUST know how to deliver that lesson in a way that
programs their body and mind. Coach "V" |
Good day to all...
We all know that soccer is 90% foot skills, ball handling,
passing, vision of the game, team work and other items that have
NOTHING to do with kicking. However, there is a huge problem
with this philosophy. This gets repeated so often to us as
coaches, that no one ever takes the time to address the pure
form of soccer kicks. Trust me, this is VERY prevalent in
US youth soccer. Even in top level leagues there are almost no
drills performed to teach the basics of a soccer kick. It is
simply expected to be learned or "picked up" by players over
time. A HUGE mistake.
Have you ever...
-
How many times have you seen a great ball handler work their way
to the goal, only to "flub" a shot that dribbles into the
keepers arms?
-
Did you know that even horrible
ball handlers at some point will end up with the ball in front
of the opponent's net?
-
How many times have you seen a
great ball handler that simply "couldn't take a shot" and
dribble it right to the goal keepers arms?
-
If you're a coach, you've seen this at most games.
What are we doing wrong?
First there is very little time to work with our players. When I
developed this video I made sure to be realistic. Most coaches
only end up with about 2 hours of training time per week with
their players. Little time for long "shooting clinics". I
designed this shooting training system to be incorporated with
warm up drills. It can be done for 5 - 10 minutes before each
practice. For advanced teams or teams with more training time,
it can be taught in a 2 hour kicking clinic, and then reinforced
each practice.
You
will be amazed at the results...
-
You will see "opportunities" become goals.
-
You will see confidence
levels rise, even in weaker players.
-
You will see your players learn "reactionary" shots, not
having to "think".
-
You will see younger and younger players out performing
older ones that have not worked with this system.
-
You will see fewer injuries because we teach them not to
kick hard, but smart and smooth.
-
You will see better finishing as we teach them to move
through the shot.
-
You will see them be able to take "full speed" shots without
breaking stride. (A killer force in the game.)
Keeping
it fun...
Putting all this information in a
"lecture tape" would be the most boring tape you ever watched.
That is why we added graphics, animations, characters and
different environments. If it doesn't get watched, it will do no
good. The tape moves quickly and covers EVERY aspect of kicking
from the basics and science, to upper end shooters
demonstrating.
We know you'll enjoy it and
benefit from it.
