Space, players and time - how and why small changes make a big difference
This is a SHOTGUN webinar where we give you both barrels in 30 minutes. Dan Cottrell hosts Ged Hall, an experienced coach at grassroots and development level, as he gives us the real reasons to think about space, players and time in training. Don't just adjust them because you "think" it adds development. Learn why, learn how and learn when. This webinar is aimed at grassroots coaches who are looking for practical, research-proven methods to work with their players. We're told we need to add progressions to our activities and games. Make them better, more accurate and more likely to make a difference to your players. We're not here to tick a box - we're here to improve your players for real. We look forward to some great chat on the sidelines as the webinar progresses and then chat through some of the ideas in greater depth, using feedback from the chat. Just to warn you...Ged doesn't do fluffy. He does do evidenced-based, practical sessions.
