Quote: Jake the Peg "Which tends to tell me it's all of the coaches in the structure, not just teh head coach. These skills should be coached into the youngsters at the club from the minute they step through the door'"
The kids should have most of these even before club gets there hands on them at 14 or 16 etc.
Kids need to develop these skills from a very early age, plenty of ways to do it whilst keeping the training fun and enjoyable for them.
The Ozzie coaches go mad at how bad our kids core skills are by the time they get to work with them and by then it's sometimes too late to correct bad habits and poor skills in certain players.
