Three training tips to prepare for the next season


TIP1: Ball Mastery Ball mastery allows players touch the ball more often during matches or games than in match situations. This training is not a substitute for match situations or games, but does it still have any value in developing footballers? This question is one we have been asked many times. We understand that players learn best in game-based situations, but it is evident that they will be more confident in their control and grasping of the ball in these settings. How many times have players lost confidence with the ball? The more you touch the ball the better. Players become more confident with the ball when they practice without any assistance. Club coaches can teach you how the game works. Unopposed practice is the only way to develop a player. A typical professional football game will see each player get between 30-40 touches per game. This isn’t much!

Match-based training is the best method to teach players because it allows them to concentrate on their game and not other areas of development. The ball contact will be less for players. In the early years of their development, U11/12 and beyond, players must ensure they touch the ball as often as possible. This can be achieved through unopposed training. No matter what age, all players should feel comfortable and confident on the ball. Players can learn from coaches without feeling pressure to lose the ball or affect their teammates. Training in Unopposed Ball Mastery is what we should do. Unopposed training is very popular in the area of Ball Mastery. Ball Mastery can help you improve your balance, coordination, control, and overall well-being. You should work on your Ball Mastery during warm ups and after practice, as a technical exercise. Every player must have a ball. Start by learning basic dribbling skills. Ask players to try different parts of their feet in order to get a feel for how the ball feels. Begin with both feet. Next, start with both feet. Next, move to the right and then to the left. This will allow players to have hundreds of touch-ups and significantly increase their contact time.

Ball mastery is a technique that allows players to focus on their technical skills and abilities. They will pay more attention to the technique, and be able focus. Some players can master techniques almost instantly after they are explained. The focus should not be on those who are having a hard time. Players can benefit greatly from unopposed practices, which give them the technical and confidence that they need to oppose practices. TIP2: LEARNING ON YOUR OWN Unabated practice in players' personal training is also important. If they are passionate about their goals, players will work out by themselves. Ball Mastery provides players with training tips and techniques they can use at their own pace. They'll likely practice in their own backyard. All they need is a ball and some space. It allows players to improve their skills without worrying about losing the ball, or being let down by their teammates. They can make mistakes in a controlled environment. These practices are unopposed and offer players great opportunities to improve their game or increase their chances of winning matches. Each mistake is an opportunity to improve the skill. Players will see that mistakes can be a plus and experience great technical progress. Regular practice will build confidence and technical ability. It is important to practice coordination and cooperation. Coaches are correct to say that players must practice in different situations. This should be practiced regularly during training. The Ball Mastery technique should be taught to coaches. Then, we can integrate the Ball Mastery technique into other situations like 1v1, 2v2, etc. Ball mastery skills are essential for players to be able to control the ball and perform deliberate movements. Players can master certain skills and perform certain foot movements with enough practice. It's a muscle memory that you have mastered over and over again. Can we put players under pressure? This will help us see an improvement in players' confidence and abilities with the ball. TIP3:TAKE FEEDBACK ON BOARD


People who do anything well don't listen to others and take feedback seriously. The same applies to football. If a coach, friend or family member points out something that you aren't doing right when you play, don't be defensive. Take a look at your current technique and ask yourself if it is the best. If it is, you can work on improving it.
