If an U15s state player is instructed to become
Faster decision making
How can he improve this on his own and in isolation?
Assuming he is the only state player in his zone and only allowed to train and play with a team that is technically deficient.
A lot of 3v1 rondos in small areas such as 10m x 10m grids would help faster decision making, even by playing with weaker players.
See if you can get the player to take a lot of first touch passes if he has time, rather than two touches before passing.
Also, passing with the outside of the foot so that the player fakes at the same time as passing is good too and a further challenge. See if the player can use both feet to one touch pass with the inside and outside of the foot. By constantly working in triangles in the tight spaces of 3v1 rondos against pressure is useful.
It would also be useful to try and get the player to think what he is going to do with the ball before he receives it. Sometimes a quick look sideways as the ball is coming is useful for a player to speed up decision making.
