Keeping The Ball

During the teaching-learning process of our training sessions, the ability to keep the ball becomes a very valuable commodity. By presenting situations of collaboration-opposition with the objective of maintaining possession and focusing on the development of the player's technical abilities, these technical-tactical activities represent a very useful resource. In this book you will find 50 color examples of training activities that will help to develop decision-making that is specific to the internal logic of the game. These activities will enhance your training sessions and can also be adapted to suit the unique needs of your team. "Teach them to play, so that you can them teach to compete" is a phrase that I coined to identify the central nucleus of this book, which stems from the deep knowledge of Ivan Pernia as a coach and teacher.From the prologue by Miguel Angel Serrano Nino, Director of the coaching school atthe Real Federacion de Futbol de Madrid.
