GETTING IN FRONT. ⚽️💨

Working with Mason on starting on the defender’s blindside and making the movement count.

The objective is simple: make the effort to get across the defender, get your body in front, protect the ball, push into the space and finish.

For a striker, sometimes winning that first yard is what creates the goal. 🎯

Get across. Protect. Finish.

React. Set. Save. 🧤⚡️

Reaction work with Lucas — creating enough space to move, while adding pressure to force quick decisions.

High or low. Get the feet set. React. And if you can’t hold it, push it away from danger.

Building him back stronger. 💪⚽️

Cian has been in with us over the last few weeks, with his sessions looking slightly different to our usual player development work.

Coming back from an ACL injury, the focus is on prehab, strength, mobility and movement quality — making sure every exercise is performed with control and good form before we progress it.

Here we’re introducing plyometric work, focusing on how Cian lands, controls his body and produces force.

Progress with purpose. 📈

Protect Your Habits

Miss once, it’s a mistake. Miss twice, you’re building a new habit.

Don’t let one bad day become two. 🔁

Be Careful Who You Listen To

If they don’t have what you want, don’t take their advice on how to get it. 🎯

Two touches. That’s all you get. ⚽️🎯

Working with Mason on shifting the ball with purpose and getting the finish away quickly.

First touch creates the opportunity.
