Using “conditions” in football training sessions is a very effective way of making sure that players, without impacting on their enjoyment or the realism of playing, are forced to focus and work on specific technical or physical aspects of the game.

One of the messages that came out of the FA Level 2 Youth Award is that for players to learn and improve as players, they have to repetitively practice techniques and skills. But, if coaches only put on sessions where the players repeatedly practice the same thing, then very quickly, lose motivation and become bored. As a result, they become disinterested and sloppy and the whole process becomes self defeating.

This is the third blog in a series of 5 where we examine S.T.E.P.P in greater detail and look at how it can help coaches.

This is the second step in the S.T.E.P.P - football coaching made easy - process of improving coaching and making sessions more enjoyable and suitable for your players.
