Southampton FC. Watch pre-season training at most pro clubs and you won’t see anything groundbreaking or out of this world. There are no secrets or shortcuts in football. It’s about doing the basics at a very high level, consistently.

Take a seat next to Coach Cesc: he mixes tactics and life lessons for the Elite Summer Camp squad—words they’ll carry for a long time. 💙

My fav 9v9 system? The "Triangle System" (1-3-4-1): Defending Shape: 🔹 Back 3 in triangle (keeper + 2 defenders) 🔹 Midfield 4 compress space 🔹 Striker drops to help press Attacking Shape: 🔹 Wide players provide width 🔹 Central midfielders create overloads 🔹 Striker makes clever runs behind Key Teaching Points: ✅ Think in triangles, not lines ✅ Everyone defends, everyone attacks ✅ Space is a shared responsibility ✅ Communication is constant This system teaches 11v11 principles in a manageable 9v9 format, perfect for player development! 🌟 My 360TFT Game Model stage that covers 9v9 (Master the Opponent) is now live

🚨QUICK TIP - When planning your sessions, consider breaking topics into 4 week block, each looking at a different element of that block This gives your players consistency of an overall theme, while varying the learning 👍
