Paul Sturrock

Coaching Sessions

Countering through your striker

Attacking

This session is about counter-attacking through your striker and using an extra man in overload situations. It’s a scenario that always develops in matches and is worth running regularly so attackers, particulalry can practise their movement and make the most of the forward moves. We relate this session to our upcoming opponents so it becomes the perfect practice for players.
