Psychology of Winning: Remember where we are going. This is where we are now. This is what we need to do. And this is why I believe together we can do it.
College: Think about, and do imaginary role play in a conversation with a prospective college coach. What will they say? How will you answer? Ask questions!

Blue team has to place the hands on each others shoulders and stay as one GK only keeping the ball out with head or any part of their body not hands. the only players allowed to use hands are each end person right hand and left from each side. White team has 3 minutes to score as many headers as they can, balls are served from behind a cone into an area for team mate to attack, always play space for attacker to attack the header.

Defending a Standard Corner (10 mins)
Organization: All corners are defended the same way, zonally. Assign 1 person to be in charge of everyone's positioning.
Instructions: Player 1: Positioned on near edge of the 18 closest to the corner kick. This discourages any short or mid corner, and this player is positioned to be able to defend any shorter play. This also forces the kicker to play an aerial ball over him, giving the GK, who has hands, an advantage. Player 2: On near post, to (1) assist the GK in tending the goal, (2) be able to press any short play with Player 1. Player 3: On the back post to (1) assist the GK in tending the goal, and (2) if the GK misses an attempt on the ball, provides cover to defend the goal. Player 4: Job is to keep any player from trying to impede or interfere with the GK without incurring a foul. Players 5 & 6: Placed on the corners of the 6 yd box. Should be good headers. Player 7: On the penalty Spot. Players 8 & 9: Helping any loose balls clear the area. Player 10: Near 1/2 line, looking to recieve, and hold, any cleared ball and transition to attack.
Coaching Points: Get the 1st touch on the ball. Play Zone: Don't chase the ball, but be ready to press. Stay within 2-3yds of your position unless you must go. Trust your teammates to do their jobs. Be aware of runners to press. Track runners in your zone and pass on (communicate) to other players. Always face the ball and be aware of quick corners. Keep goal side of attacker. Clear first, then try to transition - don't give up a 2nd chance on goal.
