In our latest one-to-one session, Aidan Denver of the Pro Football Academy trains a player’s ball mastery and manipulation. In the drill, one coach takes one player through a series of skills and turns they must execute while navigating a grid featuring three mannequins. The practice trains a variety of basic touches and movements, and can be progressed to include passes with the coach and finishing in mini-goals, encouraging the player to play with their head up and check their shoulders regularly.
