Author: Peter Schreiner Pages: 92 Pages Practices: 47 Level: U11-PRO PDF Preview of  "Goal Scoring Training System - Levels 05-08" For years, Peter Schreiner has been engaged in the topic of "shooting training in soccer." In the training of young players, targeted shooting training is often neglected. Yet, players love training forms with a focus on shooting. In his new series of booklets/eBooks, Peter Schreiner shows his systematic shooting training in 8 learning levels. With targeted detail coaching, players are helped to avoid mistakes and to perfect their behavior when shooting. This avoids shooting the ball at the goal in any old way during training and – what is even more regrettable – in competition. Players learn to successfully put the ball into the net in a variety of situations. Schreiner He has analyzed over 1500 goals of top goal scorers in Europe and developed a training concept. This was followed by lectures worldwide, including for the AEFCA and the BDFL, as well as practical presentations in seminars and at conferences. Goal Scoring Training System - Part 2 The systematic development of a goal scorer takes place in eight successive learning levels, starting at age 7 and bearing fruit in the high-performance area.  In this eBook/booklet, the difficulty level is increased. Level 5 introduces shooting exercises under more challenging conditions. The pass before the shot is no longer always flat but comes as a lobbed ball. In levels 6 and 7, time pressure and opponent pressure before or during the shot are central. And in the final training level, it becomes very game-like. In learning level 8, it's about game forms where the shot is required under competition conditions. Learning Level 5: Difficult Conditions - Shooting after a Lobbed Ball Players convert balls thrown at them with foot or head. They shoot at the goal under difficult conditions (after a cross, shooting after turning, a sprint, or in a jump). Learning Level 6: Shooting under Time Pressure Players apply different shooting techniques in shooting exercises or group competitions under time pressure. Learning Level 7: Shooting with Opponent Pressure Offensive 1 vs 1: Players shoot at the goal after a duel or an attack by an opponent. Learning Level 8: Game Forms/Competitions In game forms with numerical advantage (neutral players) and equal numbers, create and convert scoring opportunities under the greatest opponent pressure. Shooting in competitive situations (competitions in the double penalty area/on a reduced field with 2 goals).

PDF Preview of  "Scanning, Movement off the Ball Behavior and Teaching One-Touch Thinking" Author: Wayne Harrison  Publisher: Institute for Youth Football, (IFJ96)  Production: Peter Schreiner, Jörg Amthor Pages: 147 Graphics: 93 In this eBook Wayne Harrison explains the basic principles of developing the One Touch game and presents his training of first and second contact and the development of two-footedness. Players are often very good at playing with lots of contact with the ball, i.e. dribbling, turns and running with the ball, i.e., training and playing in a more technically oriented play. Unfortunately, far too often our talents are not as good at quick thinking processes and quick decision making, especially when playing with one contact. That's exactly what this e-book aims to teach! The practice and game forms always have one goal: To develop composure in possession of the ball, to reduce the time and number of ball contact and the number of ball contacts needed to keep the ball in motion. In addition, by becoming more aware of everything around him, the player in possession of the ball can use his imagination to make better decisions. Which applies to the same extent to the players without the ball. The point is definitely not to have the players play at a high speed, and always one-touch, but to teach them to be aware of all the possibilities (with correct foot position and body posture) even before a pass is made, in order to make one of the following decisions: Should I play the ball with one contact? Should I hold onto the ball until another option opens up? Is this the time to run with the ball, dribble, pass, cross or shoot? This training will enable the player on the ball to quickly control it with one or two contacts. In doing so, he will recognize his options so that no third or fourth contact is needed to see where the opponents are, so that he also does not need so that he does not need any additional contacts to get out of the way successfully. We train their bodies for footwork and their minds for decision making!

PDF Preview of "Build-Up and score goals with the 3rd man" Author: Athanasios Terzis  Publisher: Institute for Youth-Soccer (IFJ96) Pages: 107 Graphics: 79 Drills: 12 The tactics about the 3rd man and the 3rd man’s run which is analyzed in this book, is part of the tactics used by Jurgen Klopp with Liverpool, Julian Nagelsmann with Bayern Munich, Marcelo Bielsa with Leeds United, Pep Guardiola with Manchester City and Luciano Spalletti with Napoli.  Specifically, the 3rd man combination is an important element of positional play, in which three attacking players are involved. The objective is to create a free player with available space in advanced position, behind the line of pressure and then move the ball to him. So, when it is applied successfully it can lead in breaking at least one line of pressure. Diagram: 3rd man combination during the execution phase – Moving the ball to the free player The 3rd man combination can be used in several match situations such as when building up from the back in order to break through the pressure applied straight to the GK or to the central defenders. It can also be used against a medium or a low defensive block to help the attacking team break a line of pressure and move the ball to a free player between the lines. Diagram: Breaking through the pressure applied to the GK Except for the 3rd man combination, the book analyses the patterns of the 3rd man’s run that are most frequently used during matches, either in the central areas or wide. The 3rd man’s run, like the 3rd man is also a combination which involves three players. The objective is not to create a free player and move the ball to him, but to move the ball to an attacking player who is on the run, usually behind the defensive line of the opponents. Diagram: 3rd man’s run – 2nd pattern So, if the application of the combination is successful, a goal scoring opportunity can be created. The book will present the most frequently used patterns and the match situations that each specific pattern can be used, as well as how each pattern can be adapted to various formations. Diagram: Pattern 2 of the 3rd man’s run –Applied with the 1-4-2-3-1 formation The analysis of the two combinations (3rd man and 3rd man’s run) is followed by several drills to help coaches apply the analyzed tactics to their teams, by simply adding or adjusting them to their own training sessions.

PDF Preview of "Rondos and Positional Games for Coaching of Tactical" German Top Level Tactics - Part 8Rondos and Positional Games for Coaching of Tactical Authors: Levent Sürme, Martin WengPages: 87Graphics: 61Exercises: 50 50 Rondos and Positional Games It is well known, that each training session consists of several parts. Rondos are now a firmly planned element in almost every session. There are probably very few coaches in the world who don’t include them in practices. Usually built in a rectangle, for example exercises in 4:4 + 2 or similar take place. In particular, Pep Guardiola, during in his time at FC Barcelona and later at FC Bayern Munich, made positional games more and more popular in many variations. But each Rondo has its own details and outcomes. This eBook includes: 10 Rondos for pressing 10 Rondos for offensive transitions 10 Rondos for playing deep 10 Rondos for attacking the final third 10 Rondos for speed up decision making Of particular value is the information regarding coaching, organization and possible variations. Peter Schreiner - IFJ96 The ebook by Levent Sürme and Martin Weng is something quite special. Very good, tactical preliminary remarks clarify the authors’objective: Five main topics (pressing, going on the offensive, in-depth playing, playing in the final third and swiftness of action) are introduced using vivid examples from professional soccer and impeccably rehearsed on the basis of 10 game forms.
