General comments
Amongst this first term we have had a showcase in Manchester where the players were a credit to themselves in their play and conduct and a trip to Manchester City Etihad stadium.
Most players have also participated in several Football workshops including data Analysis collection, Devising set-plays, Analysis on Real Madrid vs Barcelona and have all presented their findings in front of the group with some using tactic boards and data and we have had a an indoor football competition every Friday which the players have loved.
Most have certainly bought into what we are trying to do with the Academy this year and individual and collective development has improved considerably in the past few months.
The Head Coach further enthused; “I have tried to fill the programme content with a variation of activity to educate the mind as well as the body on and off the pitch and to keep players active.”
Chris concluded by saying: “I must say on the whole, the players have worked really hard and are buying into what we are looking to do at the IHM Football Academy.”
