NEW: Soccer-Awareness “One-Touch-Training” (Wayne Harrison)

Soccer-Awareness “One-Touch-Training” developing its relationship with movements off the ball: The Continuums “Look and Think” Model of Development

This 102 page eBook explores one touch training and movement off the ball and includes 90 pages of drills that you can do with your team. One Touch Training: Teaches the player WHEN to play one touch; and when NOT to play one touch. We are teaching players to have a ONE TOUCH MENTALITY. A One touch mentality teaches players to recognize the best options; and therefore make the best DECISIONS; BEFORE and in ADVANCE of receiving the ball.

Movement OFF the ball: This mentality conditions the mind of players OFF the ball to position and move to help the player who is receiving the ball. This means we want players to always; at every moment; THINK:  “I only have One touch”; therefore this will force players to always do what I call the “LOOK and THINK” before they receive the ball to see several options and pick out their best option, which may actually be to DRIBBLE!!

When you use these training sessions consistently you will see the development of that relationship between having a ONE TOUCH mentality and Movement OFF the ball.

So in a nutshell:

• LOOK (before receiving the ball);
• MOVE (find space off the ball based on positioning of teammates and opponents):
• THINK (what is my best option?):
• EXECUTE (the Decision; or the SKILL Factor).

Players are generally all very good at playing using many touches. Dribbles and turns and running with the ball, that is more technical training. But they are often not so good at one touch quick thinking and quick decision making training. That is more skill training.

HENCE WHY WE MUST INCREASINGLY DO THIS TRAINING WITH THEM.

For the ONE TOUCH AWARENESS training game with three teams that I want everyone to do each training session for 10 minutes; to ensure we improve the players quick thinking and decision making, as well as their awareness of how to get free OFF THE BALL, here are some more ideas with the same theme so you do not have to do the same game every training session. This will also ensure the players do not get bored with the repetition of it all.
