jason spencer-brown EnglandLoved this will be using it this morning with my U16’s
Guy McKim CanadaI like the simplicity of the progression, another excellent tool for the coaching tool box
Mariano Viton ArgentinaMicro skills, wise concept! Especially useful for kids. Would you pls consider adding subtitles (CC). Sometimes it’s difficult to understand all the expressions. In English will be ok, and in Spanish, superb.
Onehunga Mata’uiau AustraliaVery good and detail mate 👍🏽 Micro skills to execute the skill.
Thanks Dave
Sam Foskett EnglandReally good, back to basics drills
John Walker EnglandCoaching U13s and younger the tackle is fraught with a lack of confidence. The “Pre Tackle” skill development is really important. Dave brings another aspect of pre tackle skills to the coaches skill set armoury. I will use these at my next coaching session.
scott joyce USAGreat micro skills video and progression. Thanks!!!!
Hamish Webb EnglandGreat session. I love to use this detail particularly with girls ( who are a lot smarter than boys). Have a look at a session I did in the Hague with their Women’s team. Micro skills give players confidence to hit safely. Often too much hitting shields and not enough technique.
