I loved this series. Greetings from Peru.

Peru

Great video, it would be really to be able to save videos in my library so i can come back to them.

Great Britain & Northern Ireland

Simple and effective, 4sides forming 2v2; with the skill zones for protect and jackle or clear out. 10 pax rotating 2×5′s is best IMO.

England

I like this four square drill. This would be a great help for developing skills for our inexperienced younger players.

This is a great and simple series. Well explained, thanks

I was just watching the video’s again it was an honeur to have you at our club Hamisch

Netherlands

Great teacher! clear and concrete. amongst all I took from the video I´d like to remark “DELAY your run as much as you DARE, so you really have to RUN ON to the ball”… the escence of winning meters and/or break deffence lines!!!

Argentina

Like the decision making part and great to put that time limit on the technical bits

Netherlands

Intresting

Marco. Thanks for the note. I think we will have all seen a turnover ball being pass down a flat, static defence line with little chance of making ground or making a line break. This happen particularly when the turnover ball is slow. The attack line sees they have lost the ball and moves up quickly and the defence line does not retreat. Then there is no time to move the ball wide.Most teams I have worked with have a, no run, two pass rule on every turnover. Add to that wider players pushing back and out and you can then get some momentum in to the attack. It also gives an attacking deep player (15?) more pass options if he runs into the attacking line. Have a look at Matt O’Conners section on the site he shows a similar drill.

Talking of turnover, it makes sense tome to adjust by going wider, i’m less sure you have to go deep: you lose time and space, as space is already available in front of you (as Hamish assumes the attack’s deep before loosing the ball). This holds especially for the first two, maybe three players, the others can get depth by starting a bit late (which already happens if the first receiver attacks immediately while his mates take width). What do you think?

Hamish Webb really excels in the whole-part-whole approach in his coaching modules. I found it so enjoyable. Starting with a conditioned game. Taking the players the players through a progressive series of technical and tactical work. Ending again with the conditioned game to check on growth and some work on areas. fantastic. Thank you to TRS.

Namibia

thank you, an excellent example of progressive coaching and a great reminder of the fundamentals, presented in easy to understand terms.

Canada

I like the cumulative development of this exercise and puts multiple elements together in game simulation to start and finish.

USA

Great demonstration, feedback to players and progression.

South Africa

Great session! Very interesting and pratical drills for breakdown technic.

Portugal

Can use in small area, and a whole team can be involved

South Africa

Definitely got me thinking about our pre match prep for games. Some great ideas that I think our lads will buy into.
