Training Creative Goalscorers

by Michael Beale

It's not enough to line your players up and have them take shots on a goalkeeper. Practicing the proper technique is important but putting that technique into realistic goal scoring situations teaches your players how to take the technique and use it in the game. The activities and exercises presented in this book by Michael Beale practice scoring goals from a wide variety of positions and progress from unopposed to match situations. Situations included in this book 1 v 1, Back to Pressure, Breakaways, Finishing from Crosses, Reacting to Rebounds, Runs Behind the Defense and many more. The best goal scoring practices create an environment that requires your players to make decisions that are identical to those that are made in the game. Repeating this decision making process over and over in training makes it second nature and automatic when they face the same choice in a real game. The drills, exercises and games in Training Creative Goalscorers were designed with that in mind.
