Some testimonials from coaches who use Premium:
"the website content...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.
So far I really like the layout of the website. I'm sure that you could
probably do a lot more to make it look and feel more sophisticated. But I
think that would be detrimental as being simple to navigate is a real
strength and overall the content is the important part rather than having
lots of gimmicky touches." Nigel, UK
"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".

"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
