Today we would like to share 3 soccer drills in the passing-triangle. The passing-triangle is an exercise without opponents.
A general disadvantage of this kind of exercise is the missing competitive pressure resulting in a decrease of intensity and motivation of the players – leading to bad pass quality.
At this point, the coaching of the trainer comes into focus. He must have the ability to demand missing intensity and lead by example with his coaching.
Going along with this, he could for example verbally accompany every pass. Therefore, the coach only demands what he himself sets an example of – every pass is important and can be deciding!
All soccer drills presented are from Steven Tureks eBook “German Training Concepts – 23 Drills in the Passing Triangle“.
