Important takeaway in this moment is the idea that the "Free Player" is momentary. As soon as a defender jumps - there is a new Free Player. Both cases the Free Player resides off the back of the pressing defender.

The dreaded wet bulb pushed inside this afternoon - but still a great camp because of the people!

Our group made it safe and sound. We are getting ready for game one tonight!

Pretty cool opportunity for our group to train at Alajuelense Oficial facility while here in Costa Rica. My little one even got to do a little finishing with the team.

Come spend a day in Costa Rica with @milliegrand 🌦️⚽️

Catching up with the replay from the Spain v France Olympic final. This sequence has a lot to love - but for me it is the acceleration of the players to act as the 3rd player once the ball is play past them. A great learning clip. youtube.com/clip/Ugkxhajb2…

Excited to have officially completed this journey with ⚽️ FAW Coaching. Met great people, heard new ideas, and my approach was challenged. Everything education should be!

It is the video production + soundtrack that got me 😂 A lot of smiles and making connections w teammates. Love to see it on day two!

Feeling all the love half way through our preseason! ❤️#rollpipes

A great experience w great humans!

We got "Wet Bulbed" again... A quality 60 minutes for our last official preseason session. Classes start tomorrow!

Direct ball on restart and ball comes straight back at the GK w in seconds. Anyone speaking out against the choice to go longer on the restart?

New semester, new schedule 😎⚽️

A good challenge for our group today!

A lot of quality collective play in this game and the goals were decent, as well.

As a former outside back - proud of my little one and her tackle. Second 11v11 game and still learning to play in a back 4 + the size of the space. I have my opinions on rushing to play 11v11 - but proud of her adjustment and play.

Just watched the lack of this in a session. An early developer who has physical tools that aren’t challenged and left to repeat a physical superiority that will eventually be less effective.

Stole it from someone - but it is a space that we specifically target. Open Box - Defs running back looking at their goal = early service whipped in!

Hard fought point for the whole team tonight. We will take the shutout to start the conference season!
