Day 74

Day 74

Not much to blog about today! Only had one session at 2:00 at JG Meiring school. (Yonick's school).

I felt the session started off well with some stretches and arsenal v kaizer, the boys seemed buzzing. However, afterwards the session seemed to flatten out and the effort put in the boys wasn't as high as last week. Maybe because there was half the amount of the boys we had last week. We did a passing drill, a piggy in the middle based session with loads of different variations. But the boys seemed content on doing all sorts of tricks and flicks to pass the ball on rather than pass the ball on quickly and keep it away from the chaser. Both Jeff and I said stressed that often you don't have that much time in a match and the best teams in the world have very quick passing styles. When we added a competitive element things started to liven up which was good and energy levels definitely rose.

To finish off the session we did a match, 3 teams, 1 goal and off. My team were unbeaten and the highlight of the session of course was my perfect Carrick-esque long ball, over Jeff's head, ending in a goal by my player who took it down fantastically on the chest.

Both Jeff and I streamed the united and Arsenal game and I'm gonna end this blog post with 6 words. Arsenal need to sort it out.

All the best
