We have a very promising centre mid.
She's strong, she reads the game well, but her passes are often over hit.
She's seeing the passes and the idea behind them is good, but she often over cooks them.
It's Ike she's trying too hard.
How can I help her to place the right weight on her passes?

Hi Stewart, 

A simple practice like this one can help a lot: https://app.touchtight.com/programs/the-defence-splitting-pass-individual-23-p15

I would maybe create a few square zones using cones at different distances as well which she must aim to get the ball to stop in there, helping with practicing well weighted passes. Excitement/rushing is usually also a factor when playing through balls/switches so staying calm is also a key factor in this.๐Ÿ‘Œ
