First touch, turning and body shape

When receiving the ball and trying to play forwards, the old adage was receive with the inside of the foot facing forwards. Body shape is side on.

Now FFA, pushes the message anything that is effective is fine.

I usually teach receiving turning/techniques in sequence:

1. The aforementioned receive/turn.
2. The pivot turn (I can't do it very well).
3. The shoulder feint turn.
4. Jairzinho turn (BSS).
5. Tostao turn (BSS).

All these need to be learnt so a player can do it on both sides. 90% of them seen at professional level are 1.

Alot of coaches struggle to coach/observe the game and find it easier to do isolated practice. heck even trials for one APL junior clubs were based on 1 hour of isolated drills to select 3/4 of squad, guess they couldnr observe the game as well.
At the end of the day you are there to produce players that can play in the game not be the half time enternainment ala billy wingrove.

Of course they struggle if they haven't been trained to do it.

I'd suggest to anyone reading this to do a Regional FFA C Licence. You will get plenty of training in game analysis. I'm finding the KNVB was good precursory practice. When I did KNVB I was out of my depth for the first 5 days. There are coaches I'm training with now who are struggling, but they will get there eventually.

FFA have also conceded they are concerned about the quality of their Community football coaching courses. If one does the Advanced Coaching C Licence, it costs $1200 to $1600. It will take about 11 days. It is a third of the price of the Centralised C Licence.

I've been doing it for 4 years now. By doing it one improves. I still do some isolated practice, but I'm constantly thinking of ways to incorporate isolated practice into a game centred exercise.

Anyway Dirk, to select players performing isolated practice is bizarre.:roll:
