U9-U11 Week 3
“Winners embrace hard work. They love the discipline of it, the trade-off they're making to win. Losers, on the other hand, see it as punishment. And that's the difference.” - Lou Holtz
Game Observation (Due by April 12th)
One more round of game observations this week. You all did such an amazing job last week we are posting another two games to analyze this week. This exercise is the same as last week. Please choose one of the two matches above. Once you are done watching the game, jump to the Game Observation page and complete a form with your observations from the game. (HINT: Same as last week, you might want to jump to the form first, and take a peak at the question so you know what you are looking for during the game. You can watch the games from that page as well). Your coaches will be scheduling time to discuss these games with you during the coming weeks along with your responses. As we mentioned on the page, there are no right or wrong answers. The idea is to have some fun watching some great soccer while helping you increase your soccer IQ through observation. We hope you enjoy these matches whether you are watching them for the first time or again.
