- Having An Alternate Plan
The worst thing a coach can do is to feel confident that his practice session will go well without any planning. Invariably these sessions turn out to be disorganized with the players going away dissatisfied and without direction.
There are coaches who do have a plan and just hope that things will go well, but if they do not, they are lost without a back up plan. This also happens during soccer tryouts. The best coach is the one who has a contingency plan in addition to his main plan, so that in case of any change, he can easily switch to a different routine and keep his players just as interested in the practice session.
You must always make sure that you tell your players the purpose of the drill, as it makes your players work at it more enthusiastically.
While running soccer training drills, preferably show them how to perform it and invite them to each try it before they practice it so that you can correct them if need be. During practice, you can evaluate their playing so that any further action that needs to be taken can be planned.
