Author: Tom Mura: Soccer Coach, Skills Director, Co-Owner WORLD CLASS COACHING and Blogger September 21, 2023 Duration: 21:56

In this episode 

In this episode, we dive deep into the reason I decided to stop using line drills as a coach. Line drills have long been a staple in training sessions, but sometimes, change is necessary for growth. Join me as I discuss the factors that led to this crucial coaching shift. We’ll explore alternative training methods, player engagement, and the overall impact on skill development. Whether you’re a coach looking for fresh approaches or a player curious about training evolution, this episode sheds light on the rationale behind my decision and the benefits of breaking free from the line drill routine.
