How do you give players ownership?

Louise Mitchel

Hi everyone. 

In the latest episode of Coachcast, we hear about the work that has been happening around the future of youth football. 

We heard a lot about being payer centred. I'd love to hear in your thoughts on how you put your youth players at the centre of your plans and sessions.

What three things would you like to do to give players more ownership and increase their engagement? Or is there something you've tried that has resulted in increased engagement or more ownership?

  • Once a month have 2/3 of the squad plan a session on what you have been working. The players engage better with their peers than the coaches at times. Do this once a month with different Players so they all get a turn to be leading a session.

    Also have players from a couple of years older work alongside you as the players react better nearer to someone their age.
