Course reviews
Gareth Davies — NetherlandsRun, catch and pass. If you can master the fundamental skills in all these films in pre-season, it is a great foundation for you coming season. It just gets better and better.
pablo saenz de zumaran — ArgentinaIt is true that the saleman who sale the watch to Ben was promoted to CEO of that firm ?
Nick Lacey — EnglandGreat fundamental passing plan and great reminder.
John Walker — EnglandAs a level 2 coach but in my first season coaching my clubs U10s side I am learning to approach coaching from a slightly different but enjoyable perspective. The way Ben delivers his catch and pass lesson indoors is informative to watch. One point I would make though in relation to the Communication question of Name and Action is to include Listening skills into the mix. An important part of the process I believe especially with the younger players. Apart from that Ben as usual delivers excellent and enjoyable lessons and I learn a lot from him.
