What you’re seeing here looks straightforward on the surface, but watch closely and you’ll start to see what’s actually being demanded 👇

🧠 Constant concentration: There is no moment in this drill where the player gets to switch off.

🦶 Coordination across multiple movements: The player is simultaneously managing their foot placement, tracking the ball, and timing their return pass to the coach.

💪 Stamina built through consistency: it’s about doing it again and again without stopping.

🔄 Repetition is the point: The drill only works if you don’t stop.

Harder than it looks. More rewarding than it looks too 📈💪

📍 New Level Academy, Ealing

One of our favourite 1v1s from this week - what do you notice above these players’ individual styles?

Who can tell us why this type of drill is so important to master?

Learning to respond to vocal cues instantaneously takes PRACTICE 😤

But it’s a great way to work on instinctively mapping out your area so that movement becomes second nature in a game situation ⚽️

Watch as our player keeps incredible control of the ball weaving in super tight spaces. With cues from our coach, he changes speed, dominant feet, and direction beautifully.

This type of 1-on-1, close quarters training is how we prepare our players for Step 5 and beyond ⚽️
