some testimonials from coaches who have used Premium:
"Premium is really well put together and even with my Level 2 knowledge
and nearly 5 years coaching kids there were loads of new ideas which
really make it incredibly simple to produce themed and linked sessions!
Because of the number of kids/sessions I very often have to rope in
parents to assist me so the clear and no-nonsense style make it
excellent for that too!
I’d recommend it as a “must read” to anyone who is looking to develop and expand their coaching knowledge. I
hope it’s really successful – I’ll certainly spreading the word with
coaches at our local club!"

"I just started my
first season as a U6 coach. I was thrilled to find your site and all the
resources it offered on the early learner page." Troy, USA
"Hi,
I just wanted to
congratulate you on a wonderful site. Also, to say I have gleaned some
very useful tips from your drills. I currently coach an under 13’s girls
team, and am always looking for new ideas to help them learn/improve
their football skills.
I’ve
had a look at the session plans and in my opinion they are well planned
and logically linked. I particularly like how they are broken down into
segments, as the usual coaching session would normally try to get across
all the points in one go, and I believe that’s where we fail as coaches
sometimes – trying to give too much information in one go!
Thank you".

"I've studied Premium for the last week or
so and it is excellent. The "ethos" behind the
technical syllabus is easy to understand and allows less
qualified coaches (I'm level 1) to communicate to their kids at a level
that they will understand. The
drills are well laid out and the graphics easy to follow (my U11s were
able to understand quicker this weekend because I could show them the
drill on paper as well as talking them through it).
I used the defending drills this weekend
with both age groups I coach. There was an immediate impact on my U8s as
in their match the next day they moved away from swarming and made sure
that there was a covering defender at all times without needing any
coaching from the touchline.
The best recommendation came from two coaches who were observing my
session this weekend. They both said that they would be using the drills
with their own teams next weekend. I told them that there were plenty
more on your website." Nigel, UK
"Thanks
Bill. I am working with 16 to 25 year old women. I find the drills
really helpful on your site because most of these women need to focus on
the basics. So, simple to understand drills are very helpful. The also
a just one page. Good diagrams too. The tips on coaching are also very
easy to understand."

"...just found
this and what a terrific resource this is. Well laid out with excellent
clear drill resources. I'm a relatively new coach with ...Under-12's and
this looks like a lot of inspiration. Thanks for sharing your
experience." James Thomson, Scotland.
"Hi, I've just found your website thru a post
on footy4kids.co.uk, excellent resource, just what I need to help me
plan training topics for the U9s next season. The drill PDFs are very
clear and I like the Technical Syllabus idea." Mike, UK
