Coaching a high level u13 side

Juan Malagon

Hey guys, 

I am coaching an u13 side which are technically and individually playing at a decent level, my main challenge is the team is quite complacent, they have won their league a few times and are toying with the confidence/arrogance line. When they do come up against tough teams they all start to play like individuals which I dont want them doing as I want them to win or lose as a team.

My question - I am looking to build trust amongst the players, are there any fun but coachable drills which anyone could recommend that focus on building trust under pressure?

    Hi 

    Complacency is a problem and making training challenging is key. Pushing the team in other avenues is one way to deal with it. 

    Also, praise the upcoming opponents,and  explain how hard the game will be this is another way to avoid complacency. 

    Another option is to highlight areas that the team haven't done well in, this will also bring the competitiveness back. 

    In my opinion, I would do this in a gentle way as they are under 13s. 

     

    For sessions and drills, think about street games, play 60 seconds, play two touches, or a challenge (like the bin challenge). Anything like this will create the atmosphere to build positively. 

    Kind Regards
