We have reached that time of the year where training routines have been clearly defined and training habits for both coaches and players are well established. Although this is extremely beneficial towards building consistency in the environment, it can also lead to potential boredom at training when everyone knows what to expect. This week we will look at some creative ways that coaches can change the environment, while still staying consistent with session objectives as they relate to playing style and principles.
In this week's MSC Breakdown below, we take a look at different ideas and how to introduce them. Please subscribe to our YouTube page if you enjoy it.
Here are the FREE dimensions and details for each exercise.
