About this audiobook
Your best player has stopped being your best player, and nobody has explained why.
They grew four inches over the summer. Their feet arrived before the rest of them. They keep falling over in games they used to dominate.
This is the audiobook for the course content they no longer provide . Ten to fourteen — when the body changes underneath them, when positions start to matter, when they quietly work out where they stand, and when most of the players you lose are lost.
You'll learn:
- How to count what you actually say, and who you say it to.
- What's happening inside a growing body
- The practice spectrum — seventeen ways to shape a session
- Why players leave, why some stay and empty out, and what the difference asks of you.
- The deeper four-corner profiling.
Narrated by Simon Millington. 30+ years on the grass, a UEFA A Licence coach and a coach developer who has taught hundreds of coaches who have gone on to coach thousands of players.
