Girls,
Great practice tonight! We worked on two things. We introduced the "Counter Attack" tonight. We also worked on "Break Aways" by going 1 v 1 with a goalie with a defender tracking us!
Below this paragraph is a highlight video of who I believe to be the best Female Player in the world. Her name is Marta and she plays for Brazil. You will see that she is EXTREMELY skilled. Hopefully you recognize all of her moves from our S4 sessions! Ok, here's the contest-- the first girl that replies (click on comments) with the correct answers will win a prize. You must correctly give me the 2 times in the video where Marta is one on one with the goalie, and instead of panicking, she stays very composed and dribbles around the goalie to score. There is actually a third time in the video at the 3:20-3:38 mark where she gets past the goalie and scores; but I want the first two times!

Here is what you win. At our Friday game in the tournament this weekend, you get to tell me what position you want to start, and I will guarantee you start and get at least 5 minutes at that position (and Olivia, if you win, please choose goalie...!).
As I mentioned we also worked on Counter Attacking. It is very important that you watch this. I know this is very new to our team, and I don't think we fully understood the importance of it, and how it truly works (it will take time--many practices). So, PLEASE make sure you watch this video so you have a very good visual and understanding f how it can work. It will make our practices much more effective if you watch this a couple times.

Lastly, remember, we do NOT have practice this Thursday. All three coach's came to a mutual decision that you girls have been working your tail-ends off, and we want both your mind and body to fully heal and be fully prepared to play your best this weekend!!
Ok, watch both video's, and please reply below!

ReplyDeleteKylie! Congrats. You are correct. I hope you and everyone else enjoyed and learned from the videos.
ReplyDeleteKylie--please email me at brian@wiefit.com the position you would like to start for Fridays game so I can email Coach Jenkins, since he works on different lineups before each game. Thanks Kylie!
Great job Kylie! Good videos Brian, I love Marta, I remeber first seeing her play in the Olympics against team USA. I like her cuts, meridona and bish bash. Taylor
