Transform Your Training Sessions

As a coach, every session is an opportunity to inspire, teach, and help players grow. But let’s be honest—planning and delivering the perfect session isn’t easy.

What if you could confidently approach every session, knowing you’re well-prepared to handle anything that comes your way? That’s where we can help.

Here are ten quick tips to level up your coaching sessions:

ONE: Start with a Clear Goal
Define what success looks like, whether it’s improving passing accuracy or building teamwork.

TWO: Be Thoroughly Organised
Plan every detail, from equipment to timing, for a smooth session.

THREE: Tailor Sessions To Your Players
Create practices and focus coaching points that match your players' age, ability, and needs.

FOUR: Stay Flexible
Be ready to adapt when challenges arise in your sessions - you know they will!

FIVE: Focus On Key Coaching Points
Provide clear, simple instructions for your players that will lead to effective learning.

SIX: Encourage Creativity – Push players to think and act fast under game-like conditions.

SEVEN: Reflect On Every Session
Identify what worked, what didn’t, and why, so you can improve, learn and grow for future sessions.

EIGHT: Seek Feedback
Other coaches or players can give you fresh, valuable insights to help you learn and elevate your coaching.

NINE: Celebrate The 'Wins'
Build on the positives that occur in sessions and games to boost confidence. This will help both you as a coach and your players.

TEN: Never Stop Learning
Each session is a chance to grow and evolve, and you can also utilise coaching content, learning resources and courses to keep developing.
