  • Q&A: What would you prioritise in a short pre-season?

    The question this week comes from Neil, via the PDP Innovation Space:

    “I start coaching a University team this month. I have not been involved with them before and clearly there will be new students involved for the first time also. We have 3 training sessions and one friendly before the season starts. Should I focus on key areas (e.g. shape, defending, possession) or try and cram as much broad coaching content as possible into the limited time available?”
