Yes ray , it's all about managing expectations while instilling belief...tough balance with parents expecting the world!

This is definitely a big one! 

Salim ATTYÉ You can use different sessions (from other weeks) each day of your training week. You will need to mix and match these sessions based on your teams needs.

🔵 Monday – Technical Focus (Low–Moderate Intensity)Focus on the main technical theme (e.g., progressing through thirds, body shape, combinations).

High repetition, low pressure.

Coaching detail and corrections.

Finish with light conditioned possession linked to the theme.

🔵 Tuesday – Tactical Development (Higher Intensity)

Add opposition and decision-making.

Emphasise timing of movement, positioning, and game realism.

Include constraints that force players to progress through the thirds correctly.

🔵 Thursday – Game Realism (This is where you can add Progressing Through the 3rds session)Replicate match scenarios.

Condition the game around progressing through the thirds.

Add scoring incentives linked to the week’s objective.

🔵 Friday – Match Preparation (Short, Sharp, Competitive)Keep intensity sharp but duration shorter.

Absolutely 👏  

Hi Salim ATTYÉ , apologies only catching your message now. Just to clarify, do you mean you have 10 players training? If you have 4 days to train per week, then I would suggest using 4 different sessions based on your teams needs (3 practices per day) and then recycle these each week. 

If your players are struggling to play through to the False 9, remove a defensive player in the 1st zone to help them to get success early on in the session. You can later add back the defender to increase the challenge. Always adapt your session based on your players needs 💪

When you think of the term "False 9", who is the 1st player that pops into your head? 🤔⚽️
