The Youth Development Phase: Coaching Game UnderstandingDescription
type: Product
description: Coach Education Series — Book 3 This is the phase where players either consolidate everything built before it, or quietly plateau, and it's rarely decided by talent alone. Too many technically gifted twelve-to-sixteen-year-olds are coached to execute instructions perfectly and never asked to understand the game itself. This book is about closing that gap. Written from two decades of academy and PE experience, this book covers building genuine game understanding, coaching the full 11v11 structure, handling the physical and psychological upheaval of adolescence, and preparing players honestly for trials and pathways, without inflating false hope or crushing real ambition. What's inside: 11 chapters covering the full Youth Development Phase, from understanding the adolescent player through to measuring real progress across a season A real "From the Touchline" coaching scenario in every chapter Key takeaways and a coach reflection prompt at the end of each chapter A ready-to-use session planner template and session-at-a-glance diagram Session diagrams covering in-possession shape, out-of-possession compactness, and unit practice Part of the Pro Academy Drills Coach Education Series, alongside The Foundation Phase and The Development Phase.
