The Possession-based Soccer Development Framework
With regards to the speed of play discussion above, I am divided between slowing the speed of the activity down so that players technically improve (and then increasing the speed as they improve) or maintaining a higher speed from the beginning and being patient with more mistakes in the beginning (with the goal of technical improvement over time). The former approach is recommended in some books that I have read (like the Talent Code) while, the latter approach seems to be used by some academies in Europe (per discussion with coaches). The holy grail is to have both speed of play and good technique in todays game – just not sure which method is most the effective to reach the end goal? Any thoughts or suggestions would be welcome.
Hello – my name is Dan Komorowski and I coach a U9 boys team in Toronto, Canada. I have coached for a long time +15 years and attended lots of conferences and courses over the years. Recently, I passed the Advanced National NSCAA course and last year was lucky enough to attend a Barca coaches clinic here in Toronto where 3 coaches from Barca Escola presented their philosophy and demonstrated their training exercises. I’m totally for possession football and looking for the most effective teaching path to do this. Looking forward to exchanging ideas with the community and improving my knowledge, teaching skills and possession framework.
Eric, Sean
