How do you get a child to try to a different position if they don't want to ?

Colin Spalding

I coach U7's and have a lad who always stays in defence. Should i encourage him to try a different position or leave him learning more on defending as he clearly enjoys it?

    I would encourage your u7 to try a host of positions. 1st move make it near to where he plays and maybe move into midfield and ask him to tell you 3 things that are different playing in that position. What did he find better or harder to do, compared with his usual spot? Had an under 11 recently who was always a left footed attacker who, over the course of 3 weeks changed him to a left centre back who now, completely loves having the whole game in front of him, pinging passes like Patrick Mahomes
