Training 4/21 Corner Kicks

Success is about having, excellence is about being. Success is about having money and fame, but excellence is being the best you can be.
- Mike Ditka

We started off with a little header progression so we could concentrate on our technique before we were going to goal.

Working on set pieces can be very difficult for players because they can involve a lot of talking about where to go and repetition.  Because of this I had originally planned to spend 20-30 minutes today working on corner kicks and I planned to revisit the topic later in the week.  I didn't want to kids to tune out.

As we started working on the corners the girls were completely focussed and they were really enjoying working on them.  Since it was working so well we kept with it and we ended up spending an hour on corner kicks.  I could tell a huge improvement in our volleying and heading from all the time spent playing tennis soccer over the last two weeks.

 For the last 15 minutes we scrimmaged.

I left training feeling really good about our corners and I can't wait to see them in action this weekend.
