I'm sorry that last week's podcast wasn't released until Sunday. Our internet was out from Thursday afternoon until Sunday afternoon. I've prided myself on releasing a new podcast every Friday so this was extremely frustrating. If you missed the episode I'd encourage you to go back and listen because there's some great information there on shooting activities you can do with your team during the winter months. This week I want to focus on what I feel is … [Read more...]
#043 Great Shooting Activities for the Winter Months
Lots going on this week at WORLD CLASS COACHING. We sent out a survey to all of our members so that we can send them exactly what they’re looking for in terms of coaching information. In exchange for the 60 seconds it takes to fill out the survey we gave them our latest eBook, ‘Modern Soccer Drills’ for free. If you’re a member you should have received an email about the survey and free eBook. If you’re not a member, you can become one and receive another … [Read more...]
#042 Training the Keys of Possession Play
Happy New Year! Our club took a two week break for the holidays. This is just as important for the players as it is for the coaches. It allows for everyone to spend time with family and friends and enjoy the holiday season. For the last 30 years my family has taken a trip to Glenwood Springs, CO between Christmas and New Years. If you're looking for a great place to teach your family to ski you won't find a better place than Ski Sunlight. I really … [Read more...]
#041 What is Tactical Periodization and How to Use it
Each December the coaches in our club complete player evaluations. We used to do these on paper but for the last few years we've used ZoomReports for all of our player evaluations. That was long before ZoomReports became a sponsor of this podcast. It's a great site that makes it easy for our coaches to complete evaluations but it's also a great tool for our Directors because it allows them to see which coaches have completed their evaluations and which … [Read more...]
#040 Technical and Tactical Q&A
This week I share some of the questions I've received from coaches around the world. One of my favorite things about hosting a podcast is that it gives me the opportunity to exchange ideas with a large number of coaches. Most of the times it's just me talking about what I'm doing with my teams or with one other coach. I prefer a dialog where I get to learn from other coaches as well as sharing what I've learned over the years. That's why I'm always excited … [Read more...]
#039 The Foundation of Effective Defending
Last week I enjoyed a great break over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. Lots of time spent with family and friends. It also gave me a chance to catch up on podcast episodes that I hadn't listened to. I try to keep up with the latest episodes of Youth Soccer Evolution, Winning Youth Coaching, Coach Your Best and a new one I discovered called, Coach Bain Mused. It is hosted by Alistair Bain. The episode I listened to was a conversation between Coach Bain … [Read more...]
CSW Extra 3 – All In One Exercise
I won't have a full podcast for this week because of the Thanksgiving Holiday here in the US. I planned to share one of my favorite exercises but I forgot that I included it in the Fourth of July episode earlier this year. If you missed that, here it is again. I like this exercise because it incorporates passing, receiving, change of direction moves, 1 v 1 moves and shooting in a competitive environment that the players really enjoy. The first player … [Read more...]
#038 Indoor Attacking Training Session
In the last week our State Association has announced that the changes to age groups and small-sided game formats will be implemented at the beginning of the 2016/2017 soccer year. This was not a surprise to most coaches and administrators but it this announcement makes the decision official. As part of the announcement US Youth Soccer provided a number of documents to help player, parents, coaches and administrators understand the reasons for these … [Read more...]

#036 Training Session – Decision Making on the Ball
I've been looking into new educational opportunities lately and although I've already earned my USSF 'B' License I decided to take the new 'F' license course that is offered online by the US Soccer Federation. The course is a two-hour online course designed to share fun, activity-centered and age-appropriate exercises and training sessions for five to eight year olds. Coaching players of this age is very different than working with any other age group. The … [Read more...]
