Back in October I posted my first crack at developing a slow play training drill called Patience but I ran this version with youth footballers this week and I think it works better because of the slight alteration.
Most players of all ages are far too eager to simply play on without knowing who and what's ahead of them, especially if they're back is turned to their goal when they mark the ball, which is 90% of the time.
Drills like these can show the ball carrier that it's perfectly fine to be standing still so long as you have the ball and the best option isn't always the first option, it's the BEST option which may very well be the first option but might also be an option that won't happen until 5 seconds from now so providing them opportunities to experience this is critical for developing tactical prowess in young footballers, which relies on being able to play fast and slow or contested and uncontested with all 4 styles of play having completely different tactical, psychological, technical an physical skill sets, but are often coupled as well making cognitive demand extremely high at various times of the game...
