We warmed up and went full field.

The good:

1. Some excellent combinations and patterns of play at times in the scrimmage. Quick decisions. Less dribble. Blue in particular today was sending excellent through balls targeting the center of the defense and the channels between back line.
2. Goals by Rashad, Big Luke, and finally Ethan lifted the heart.

The needs to be better:

1. Attendance and being on time. I love that fact that players are playing on their own. Make sure you make our sessions as well. Doing things TOGETHER is enormously important to a team. As for being on time – 7:30 means be there by 7:20 so you are ready to go at 7:30. Great teams do not have players trickle in – even to voluntary workouts.
2. Be hard on yourself and not others – when you are perfect, then look to another perhaps but not before.
3. Once you get to the end line – cut the ball back to top of 18 for shot. Blue did it (Ben Taube) and got a goal (Rashad). It sure beats a no angle shot or push to the keeper.

See you Thursday!
