A little more time on your game.

Focus where you need it.

Passing, receiving, handling and becoming more comfortable with the ball under pressure.
Shooting.
Technique, body position, release and developing different finishing options.
Position work.
Spend focused time on the technical and tactical demands of a particular role.
Game understanding.
Talk through situations, decision-making and the choices that appear during a game.
