Download or read book Professional Soccer Passing Patterns written by Marcus A. Dibernardo and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-02-08 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maybe you are asking what exactly is a passing pattern and how will it make my team better? Passing patterns are designed patterns which players execute in a pre-set order. The patterns can range from very simple to very complex. The 20 Professional Soccer patterns in the book can be adjusted to fit many levels. These are the same patterns that FC Barcelona and Bayern Munich FC use in training. The most important thing to remember when training passing patterns is “The Secret Is In The Details”. What I mean by details is as follows; firmness of the pass, proper timing and movement of the receiving player, proper body position of the player receiving the ball, proper technique of the passer and receiver, eye contact with receiver before passing the ball, using correct passing and receiving surface, establishing a rhythm of play with teammates, executing the drill at a challenging level and always remaining focused. If you want your team to improve their passing ability then this is the book for you. Pay attention to the details, make sure the patterns are trained under the deliberate practice guidelines and keep it fun.
Download or read book Dynamic Soccer Passing Patterns for Fitness Technique written by Marcus Dibernardo and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-07-15 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on how to incorporate dynamic exercises into passing patterns for fitness and technique. Today's modern passing patterns often contain a physical element that is intended to build fitness, strength, coordination, quickness or agility. Equipment such as speed rings, miniature hurdles, coaching sticks, medicine balls, balancing foam, exercise balls, mannequins, boxes and speed ladders are all elements you can use to create dynamic exercises. In this book I provide 15 passing patterns from professional and college teams for you to study. These patterns will give you a basic foundation so you can construct your own dynamic passing patterns exercises. The patterns can go to goal or be self-contained. Keep the following in mind when teaching a passing pattern: pass with the inside of the foot and control with the inside of the foot, play to the proper foot of the receiving player, be sure body position is correct for receiving and passing, pop-off the mannequin or cone to receive the ball at the correct time "coordinated timed movement with the passer", be sure to have eye contact with player receiving the ball before passing (don't just pass the ball to pass it if the receiving player is not ready), play firm quality balls to feet and keep the rhythm and tempo of the drill quick and realistic. When working the dynamic part of the pattern be fast, powerful and sharp in all movements. Passing patterns can even be used as mini-fitness circuits. Adjust the number of players in the pattern to give more or less rest or more or less time for exercises in-between the passes. Adding physical exercises like push-ups, squats, lunges and much more can easily be done. In this book I concentrated on speed work but feel free to adjust the patterns for the desired physical and technical outcomes. I recommend inside of foot passing and receiving but if you wanted to change the technical emphasis feel free. I would recommend all players be proficient with inside of the foot passing and receiving before adding other passing and receiving techniques. It is helpful to time the patterns in order to make it possible to better measure the total workload of the players. Monitoring workload is very important in terms of the week's periodization training plan. You can easily change the distance of the pattern, the number of players, the dynamic elements and the time trained to reduce or increase the workload. I hope you enjoy the book and get some good use out of the patterns.
Download or read book 45 Professional Soccer Possession Drills written by Marcus DiBernardo and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-02-18 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains the best possession drills I have used in my 20+ years of coaching. The training sessions come from Barcelona FC, Everton FC, Arsenal FC, Wigan Athletic, Liverpool FC, Stoke City, Valencia FC, Sporting Lisbon FC, Inter Milan, Ajax FC and many more famous clubs. Coaching possession is about teaching decision-making, guiding players to become problem solvers, helping players understand the importance of positioning and placing players in training sessions that challenge them. One of the most important aspects of possession training is the number of meaningful touches a player gets. A competitive possession drill should demand player's play on the edge of their ability to be successful while receiving many touches. The tempo of the drills should be high, forcing quickness of thought and speed of play. In the modern game players must be able to play under pressure without losing the ball. Players and teams that can hold the ball under pressure know how to save seconds on the ball. Playing possession soccer is all about positioning and coordinated movement. Without proper positioning keeping the ball would be impossible. Positioning and coordinated movement allows players to create overloads all over the field. Creating a numerical advantage is critical to unbalancing the opponent, keeping the ball and scoring goals. Focus on the details when training your team. Make sure you are providing an environment for maximum learning and growth. There will always be debates about possession soccer and whether controlling possession means winning more games. I personally believe players and teams that possess the ball well have more tools and options to break their opponents down. Possession training makes players well-rounded, skillful, composed, gives them the ability to find soccer solutions on the field and increases passing accuracy. Teams with higher passing accuracy win more games. Teams with overwhelming possession (over 65%) win more games as well. "45 Professional Soccer Possession Drills" will be a valuable tool for developing your players' possession ability.
Download or read book 4 2 3 1 Formation Specific Soccer Passing Patterns and Shadow Play Exercises written by Marcus DiBernardo and published by . This book was released on 2015-12-21 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many coaches use passing patterns and shadow play exercises on a regular basis to increase technical ability, improve fitness levels, stimulate movement ideas, build discipline, increase focus, encourage coordinated timed multi-player movements and establish a group passing tempo. There is no doubt that passing patterns and shadow play exercises are valuable for player development. However, at some point it will become important to use specific patterns that directly fit the teams "Game Model". A "Game Model" is simply the way you want your team to play; it involves the team's style of play, identity and formation. The way you train at some point should specifically relate to the way you play (training model = game model). This book takes the 4-2-3-1 soccer formation and provides a series of passing patterns and shadow play exercises that directly relate to the teaching of a flexible 4-2-3-1 formation. When player's train using these patterns, they are simulating many of the movements and passing combinations they will encounter when playing the 4-2-3-1 formation in an actual game. I understand that no two coaches are the same and every coach will interpret formations in their own way unique way. However, I designed this book to teach the 4-2-3-1 formation in a fashion that I consider to be modern, flexible and fluid. The training exercises are intended to stimulate movement ideas for players by showing them the vast possibilities that are available by playing a flexible 4-2-3-1 system. Ultimately the goal is to encourage different players to fill different spaces though out the game, so players are not just filling the same old predictable spaces assigned to them. When a formation is played in a way that it is too robotic and ridged, with no real freedom of movement and interchanging of positions, it becomes predictable, less dynamic, boring and ultimately less effective. I prefer to let my players operate under the general umbrella of the 4-2-3-1 formation, while still allowing them the freedom to make their own movement decisions in order to exploit the opponent. The exercises presented in this book will aid you in teaching the concepts and ideas needed to be successful playing a fluid and flexible version of the 4-2-3-1 formation.

Download or read book The Science of Rondo written by Marcus A. Dibernardo and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-02-04 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rondos develop a player's speed of thought, speed of play, individual and collective ball retention capabilities, footwork, agility, soccer problem solving skills, team work and ability to create a rhythm or tempo of play. These are essential and critical skills in the game of soccer. Watch a full 11v11 game and see how many touches each player gets. Research indicates players will touch the ball 20-40 times in the course of a 90 minute game. Rondo can increase a player's skill level quickly because they are put in realistic game-like situations over and over again in a small time frame. A player can touch the ball twenty to forty times in a 5 minute period playing rondo. The touches in rondo are meaning full touches as well; they require players to find solutions to high pressure defending situations that are game related and virtually non-stop. “The Science of Rondo” is the ultimate book for coaches who want their teams to develop by using rondo training. The book includes my personal rondo-training curriculum that I use with my team. It contains rondo variations, progressions and transitions. I show you how to combine rondos with passing patterns, fitness exercises and game related possession drills. If you want to understand rondo and rondo training methods, than this book is for you. Enjoy.

Download or read book Observing Children in Their Natural Worlds written by Anthony D. Pellegrini and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second edition updates the methods based on new technologies, updates and increases the number of examples, and reorganizes so the theoretical material is up front. The author's decisions were guided by having used the first edition in classes at two universities. Consequently, he received feedback on the book from a variety of different perspectives--from groups of very conscientious and competent students and from colleagues around the world who have used the book. By consensus, the most popular aspect of the first edition was the organization of the book, where the student/researcher is guided through conceptualizing, designing, implementing, and writing up the research project. This basic organization is the same as in the first edition, however, within this organizational frame things have changed. The discussion of the place of direct observational methods in relation to different "qualitative" and "quantitative" research traditions has been kept, but expanded. Discussions of the use of direct observations in naturalistic settings (drawing from research methods in ethology and ethnography) and in more contrived settings (drawing from experimental psychology) are extended. Relatedly, an extended discussion has been added on theories of science guiding different research assumptions. In addition, sections of validity, reliability, and the ethics surrounding the research enterprise are also expanded. These constructs are not specific to observational methods but relevant to the general research process. In revised chapters in these areas the author provides grounding in the general concepts and then draws more specific focus to observational methods. The extended discussion of ethics is important, since issues related to who gets authorship on papers, how to complete Institutional Review Board forms, and honesty in reporting findings are all issues that face both junior and senior researchers alike. Practical issues of writing research papers are expanded in this edition, providing discussions of writing both review and empirical articles. Lastly, a new and extensive chapter on using technology in direct observational methods has been added, which reviews the available hardware and software in direct observational methods.
