What are the physical demands of using a high pressing strategy, and how do we prepare players for it within our practice design?
Join Paul Lever (FA Youth Coach Developer), Stuart Delaney (FA Youth Coach Developer), Dr Matt Portas (Physical Performance Education Lead), Ian Foster (FA Men’s U18 Head Coach) and John Griffiths (FA Women’s U16 Head Coach and YDP Lead) as they discuss the importance of player physicality when using the high press, through examples from our national teams.
Our presenters will be going through what an effective high press looks like, the different physical traits players need, and will be discussing how we can help develop these skills within training by using different physical challenges during our sessions.
