holiday session 2

much improvement. i think it is because we started early. left the house at 9 and reached sch at 9.50. i kinda forgot how the morning traffic's like. totally ludicrous.

mostly handling drills in the morning, saw some eagerness to play the game. i think it's the awesome weather after the rain in the morning. think they liked it. passing is still f*ckin' horrible. for every instance someone drops the ball, i get a tiny heart attack. pppsh... found a new way to incorporate physical training into the "games". hooya.

video session was good. played the 2nd test lions tour 2005. they were awe struck by the amt of skill shown. this is a good starting point to get the interest of the game up. if they are still apathetic after this, they're just not lovin the game.

4v4 touch in the afternoon was much better. maybe it's the number of people, maybe the prohibition of running at the start finally made them see the benefit/importance of getting back behind the ball. much more variation, change of direction. think i finally got into their head that passing as a team can achieve what solo running does, and then some.

argh i'm tired. and kinda glad. finally something is working. sorta.
