Frank Kohlenstein Coaching Soccer 2-Pack

RD-05203A:

with Frank Kohlenstein,
Colorado School of Mines Head Men's Coach;
2015 NCAA Division II South Central Region Coach of the Year - the third time he's won the honor);
7x RMAC Coach of the Year; 9x RMAC Champions (4 Tournament and 5 Regular Season titles);
all-time winningest coach in Colorado School of Mines history

Scoring goals is the most exciting and critical aspect of soccer. The ability to attack quickly and finish requires an aggressive pace and plenty of fitness. In this video, Colorado School of Mines' Frank Kohlenstein showcases three simple drills that do both. By keeping each drill moving and cycling players in and out quickly, he ensures players get enough touches and shooting opportunities to make for a truly effective session. By moving at a faster pace than traditional game speed, players are rewarded for playing at a high intensity, which enables them to enjoy working on their fitness.

Kohlenstein provides in-depth illustrations both on a white board and on the field to show ideas on how to use the entire team to teach fitness via finishing. You'll learn to set up and teach each drill, while gaining a better understanding of how it can help players quickly improve their endurance and tactical awareness. Kohlenstein explains the teaching points he emphasizes during the games:

  • Movement off the ball to create the spaces needed to be dangerous in the attacking third.
  • Having a sense of urgency in transition is critical in the modern game
  • The technical aspects of finishing in and around the 18 yard box
  • How the use of 1-2 touch, combination play, and speed of play can be vital when going to goal to finish

3v2, 2v1

In the 3v2, 2v1 drill, Kohlenstein places a premium on teaching players to exploit defenses and create numerical advantages by counter-attacking quickly. In this series, fitness is achieved through fast offensive and defensive transitions, as well as the continuous pace of play from each restart. To sharpen his players' tactical awareness, Kohlenstein instructs them on how to isolate defenders and create numerical advantages quickly, making it easier to play with pace and score.

Crossing and Finishing

This competitive game has plenty of hidden fitness in it and works on finishing from a crossed ball. Kohlenstein teaches players how to frame the goal and bend runs to coordinate their timing, giving the crosser a chance to deliver the perfect pass. In this 4v1 opposed crossing & finishing game, the players must address multiple situations that a team faces in the final third. Finishing, technique, runs in the box, and transitions are just a few areas covered in this dynamic game that incorporates finishing from central and wide areas. This is an excellent exercise for not only your field players getting repetition after repetition, but also works your goalkeepers in a fast-paced, high-tempo drill.

2v2 Play

Kohlenstein plays two games of 2v2 simultaneously on the same net. This game creates many opportunities for field players to finish and trains different combinations to break down compact defenses in the final third. In the 2v2 game, players try to attack or counter quickly, creating numerical advantages and better opportunities to score. By playing two games within the same field at the same time, it creates a chaotic environment that forces athletes to communicate and think quickly. Goalies must read the most dangerous situation and react while players must be aware of possession options and when an open goal presents itself for the quick finish.

No need to block off additional practice time for fitness training! Learn how to incorporate both fitness and finishing in a dynamic, game-like environment courtesy of Coach Kohlenstein.

Good teams can possess the ball, great ones turn possession into a dangerous weapon. Developing a quality possession game requires more than counting consecutive passes - there needs to be a directional objective. In this video, Frank Kohlenstein shows you how to implement drills and games that teach possession with a purpose, giving your team the ability to turn any offensive possession into an opportunity for attack.

Coach Kohlenstein provides in-depth illustrations on a white board and on the field to show you how to design drills and activities that teach players to maintain possession. He explains the teaching points he emphasizes during the games:

  • The movement and supporting angles needed from supporting players
  • Runs that trigger other runs when moving the ball down the field
  • The runs and gaps that your attacking players needs to make to penetrate

6v2 E Style

Adapted from Everton Football Club, Kohlenstein demonstrates a 6v2 drill that places all players in a 12x7 yard box, divided in half by cones. This small sided game lays the basic foundation to his team's ability to keep possession and move the ball with a purpose. Players develop a good sense of rhythm when passing while making sure the angles of support are correct for the ability to "penetrate."

This drill can be an effective training tool because it teaches players to patiently look for opportunities to play longer passes behind the defenders. In order to enhance the intensity of this drill, Coach Kohlenstein provides three progressions that will challenge your players throughout the session.

Rado Rondo

The Rado Rondo is a twist on the traditional rondo. To play with a purpose, Kohlenstein expertly uses target players on each end line and one across a mid-line within the grid to link up with the attacking team. The goal for the attacking team is to pass and move quickly, scoring by passing the ball to the target on the opposite side of the grid. By using the target players to create a numerical advantage, the offensive team can retain possession while looking for open lanes to connect the longer scoring passes.

This 3v3+3 rondo is not only directional in nature, but functional because it can be adapted based on your system and style of play. The drill teaches players to combine and play off certain players to penetrate. It's during these games that Kohlenstein's focus changes more to the decision-making and supporting angle of the players off the ball.

8v8+2

In the third drill, Coach Kohlenstein shows how he develops his teams to have a purpose in possession on a larger scale using this 8v8+2 small sided game. By breaking the field up in three zones, he shows a methodical way of teaching this topic based on where players are on the field. Players try to keep possession of the ball and move through the different thirds of the pitch while trying to score. Throughout the game, Kohlenstein explains the decisions players must think about when in certain thirds.

Every coach must teach their team how to be dangerous in possession. Coach Kohlenstein shows you ideas for how to train your team to have a purpose when you have possession!

2010 NCAA D-III Final Four; 8x Ohio Athletic Conference regular-season and 5x OAC Tournament Champions;
5x OAC Coach of the Year; has earned a USSF "B" License and an NSCAA Premier Diploma

Midfielders are one of the more important positions in the game and need to constantly support and help their teammates.

In this video, Brandon Koons shows you how he trains the technical application of individual skills for midfielders to dominate the center of the field. You will learn how important it is to have the correct body shape, timing of runs, proper decision making, and the right attitude to excel.

Coach Koons breaks up this video into three keys areas. Within each, he breaks down and shows numerous progressions that will help your team be dangerous in the midfield. Coach Koons provides in-depth illustrations both on a white board and on the field to show key technical elements for your players. Coach Koons explains the teaching points he emphasizes during the exercises:

  • The movement and supporting angles needed from supporting players.
  • Reading the play and making the proper decisions based on positioning.
  • Runs that trigger other runs in the midfield third.
  • The importance of scanning and checking your shoulder for better vision.

Turning

Koons addresses the ability to turn in a dynamic setting by demonstrating a three-man unopposed passing pattern that lays the foundation to his team's ability to turn and play forward. The emphasis in this drill is on developing a good sense of rhythm when passing and making sure the angles of support are correct. He progresses by adding additional ways to be able to turn and face up the opposition.

Watch as Coach Koons walks his team through dealing with overweighted passes and how the center middies take pace off the ball to make a successful turn and pass. Conversely, see how to deal with an underweighted pass. The benefits of proper body positioning and an awareness of the playing environment are also discussed.

Passing and Dribbling

Koons walks through a series of passing and dribbling progressions that encourage good on-ball and off-ball movement. Throughout the progressions, he encourages ball movement through an emphasis on creativity, which is supported by communication, touch quality, an understanding of run shape, and an awareness of game space.

Overlapping

Learn a great progression to work on tight overlapping runs and how the center midfielder moves and interacts within a confined area. See how Koons teaches his players the different types of runs they can make to not only create space for themselves, but also the ability to combine and find third man runners. Throughout the unopposed exercises, he continues to stress how important off the ball movement can be to rip even the most compact defenses apart in a competitive environment.

The overlapping drills build on the prior drills in this video and are a good way to tie the session together.

Although designed for the center midfielder, these drills will benefit players of any position, including goalies. Koons does a great job detailing the drills on a whiteboard and then taking it to the field. Every coach must teach their team how to skillfully play through the midfield, and Coach Koons gives you the tools to do just that - and more!

Games at the highest level are won or lost in the midfield third, and coaches are always seeking the upper hand to dominate this key area. Your midfield players must possess the technical skill to be able to expose the spaces in front, behind, and in the flanks of the opposition.

Brandon Koons demonstrates a series of small-sided games he uses to build exceptional midfield players, which has made his teams an attacking threat en route to 13 conference titles. Coach Koons breaks up this video into six keys games. Within each game, he breaks down and shows numerous progressions that will help your team be dangerous in the midfield.

Using in-depth illustrations, both on a white board and on the field, Koons explains the teaching points he emphasizes during the exercises:

  • The movement and angles needed from supporting players.
  • Reading the play and making proper decisions based on positioning to find numbers-up situations.
  • What runs trigger other runs to penetrate going forward.
  • The importance of scanning and checking your shoulder for better vision.
Turning

Center midfielders need to practice the critical skill of turning, as well as connecting right-to-left and back-to-front. Watch as Coach Koons sets up a series of small sided games that focus on quick ball movement in a small space. These transition games teach players how to defend in a frantic environment as well as how to counterattack quickly when winning the ball. The progressions build these games up from an individual focus to a team focus to drive home the concept.

Passing and Dribbling

See how space manipulation within the small-sided games determines the speed and quality of passing and dribbling required for the center midfielder to control the game. These games force players to perform under controlled defensive pressure and be aware of maximizing the space available to play in. The fast and chaotic pace of these transition games forces players to be very aware of how the game develops in order to be successful.

Awareness

All of the small sided games presented by Coach Koons are excellent training methods to help develop field awareness. These games involve constant movement within a quick and ever-changing environment. In addition to building on individual skills, these games develop knowing where players are within the game and how they're impacting it. These games tie the technical, tactical, and cognitive skills of the center midfielder together.

Small Sided Games

The games presented on this video include:

  • North, South, East, West - The emphasis in this physical and psychologically-demanding game is on developing transition. As the game progresses in numbers, the angles of support are critical to maintain possession and build.
  • End Zone Game - This is where Coach Koons trains players to evaluate the spaces and options given to them by the defenders. It's during this game that Koons stresses which balls to play based on straight or angles runs and how important verbal and non-verbal communication can be in the midfield.
  • Double End Zone Game - Here, Koons teaches players to play off a forward's feet and what runs can be made off of it to be dangerous. He reiterates the importance of the different types of runs his players can make to not only create space for themselves, but also the ability to combine and find third-man runners.
  • The Mourinho Game - In this game, players are always on their toes and ready to not only take advantage of numbers-up situations, but also to delay and defend based on the coach's command. Based on what number the coach calls, certain players have to quickly change which field they are playing on to sprint and quickly assess the situation on the next field of play.
  • Four Goal Game - Coach Koons introduces how to create numbers-up situations with the player on the ball. During the five different progressions in this game, players are able to experience different situations on how to penetrate through playing off a target player, through balls, and the runs coming out of the midfield to create third man runs.

Through the use of small area games and space manipulation, see how to help your players become effective and efficient at ball movement. Using these competitive transition games from Coach Koons, you'll be able to teach your team how individual skills benefit team play.

Ball movement, and off-ball movement, is a foundation of a successful possession game. In this video, 2010 NCAA D-III National Champion and NSCA National Coach of the Year head coach Marcus Wood walks through 21 of his most-used passing and receiving activities that will help your team automate the technique. Coach Wood uses passing patterns to raise the technical abilities of his players so when game situations occur, they are prepared to play at a high level.

Practice Organization

Coach Wood begins by explaining how to organize practices so they run smoothly from exercise to exercise. His style of practice plan is also great for players because they will easily understand what the main point of practice is on a given day. Wood shows how to pick key points for players to focus on during practice so they can maximize their improvement.

Technical Drills

Through a series of 15 passing and receiving activities without pressure, your athletes will learn to automate the technique of passing and receiving with game-like movements. You'll see how to read and execute a proper pass for players "showing" or making a stretch run. Additionally, Coach Wood's instruction will help your team keep shape and maximize available passing lanes as they possess with a purpose.

Wood uses each drill to help his team with tempo of play. He stresses the importance of moving the ball as fast as possible so that when it becomes game time, the practice is harder than the game itself. You'll see Wood use many variations of pattern play to mimic different game-like situations. Once they've practiced the patterns enough, your players won't have to think anymore - they'll just be able to naturally run through the patterns during competition. Wood shows different play combinations your athletes can use to get out of a bad situation or to score.

The highlight drill of this video is the Jeff Tipping drill. This drill will teach your forwards how to make runs by using timing and space to get behind defenders and shoot. Midfielders must learn how to put the right touch on their service so forwards can easily collect the ball and shoot.

Coach Wood's practice planning techniques and drills are excellent and are sure to boost your team's passing and receiving abilities. This video solves the problem of figuring out which passing drills or games to run in practice and will provide you with a foundation of exercises you can use going forward.

Jay Martin's All Access Soccer Practice 2-Pack

RD-04935A: with Jay Martin,
Ohio Wesleyan University Men's Head Coach,
Winningest active coach in men's college soccer history;
2x NCAA Division III Champion (1998, 2011);
3x NSCAA National Coach of the Year (1991, 1998, 2011)

Transition - the moment your team moves from defense to offense - can serve as a key attacking opportunity for your team.

In this live practice session, two-time NCAA champion Jay Martin starts with small, no pressure passing combinations and builds to functional tactical scenarios that put players in realistic, game-like situations. He incorporates activities that allow players to score goals and includes exercises that foster competition, keeping the training session focused and fun.

Transition Passing

Your players will practice three-man passing combinations that teach proper runs and timing of runs so athletes learn how to solve defensive pressure and transition forward quickly. Training in a numbers up, numbers down scenario puts your players in game-like situations that allow for realistic counter attacking opportunities that can be solved with quick attacking combination play.

Training in no pressure and low pressure scenarios allows players to better understand passing patterns and encourages success.

Attacking Patterns

In the 10v7 + 3 drill, the offensive team is in a numbers-up situation that allows them to keep possession in the attacking half of the field. However, once the defending team wins the ball, they look to play to the plus 3 players and counter to goal quickly. There is no defensive pressure when this transition occurs, which allows for a greater chance of success. This drill incorporates all of the previous drills in the training session in a realistic scenario, creating offensive opportunities for both teams.

Progressing from no pressure passing patterns to full pressure game-like scenarios, Coach Martin covers the technical and tactical aspects on how to best train your players to attack in transition. This is a great resource for any coach wanting to learn how to take advantage of transition opportunities.

RD-04935B: with Jay Martin,
Ohio Wesleyan University Men's Head Coach,
Winningest active coach in men's college soccer history;
2x NCAA Division III Champion (1998, 2011);
3x NSCAA National Coach of the Year (1991, 1998, 2011)

Defense is an important part of any soccer game. Well thought-out and taught defensive roles allow players to understand their responsibilities and positioning on the field.

Using a progression of warm-ups, defensive drills, and skill-based drills, Jay Martin, winningest active coach in men's college soccer history, shows how he prepares his team for defensive positioning and strategies. He includes a "rehearsal" of seven specific tactical situations and how he trains his team to defend in those scenarios.

Watch as Coach Martin leads his Ohio Wesleyan Battling Bishops through a midseason practice that focuses on reinforcing defensive tactics. Coaches know how poor defensive habits can find their way into the game of even the most intelligent soccer player over the course of a season, and Coach Martin purposely schedules an open week in the middle of his season so that he can spend an entire training session focusing on individual defending, small group defending, and team defending. This training session serves as a springboard into conference play for his team, and ensures that his players are at their sharpest during the most vital stretch of the season.

Each of Coach Martin's drills - from warm-up to cool down - show how integral individual defending is to small group defense, and how essential small group defense is to team defense. The practice builds from individual defensive tactics to team defensive tactics, and the drills scaffold the progression so that his players, and yours, can learn to defend successfully as a unit.

Learn the Keys to Small Group Defending

Besides providing opportunities for fitness training, dynamic stretching, and touches on the ball, Coach Martin's warm-up and Pep and Sticks drill put his team in a defensive mindset. The constant communication demanded at the beginning of practice sets the tone for the remainder of the session. There's constant movement by defensive players off the ball as they support the defender on the ball.

Coach Martin demonstrates his 1v1 to 4v4 Progression Drill. As the number of defenders increases, the defenders must utilize the small group defending strategies emphasized earlier in the practice and get comfortable with their responsibilities. With more players on the field, the situations become more game-like as the drill continues.

Small Group Defending Techniques on the Full Field

Team defending is the emphasis as Coach Martin's drills move to the full field. Players are constantly reminded that even within the team defensive structure, both the midfielders and defenders must defend as a small group.

Coach Martin walks his full team through situations they must be prepared to defend in the game, including balls played wide out of the back, long crosses and cutting off passing lanes to target forwards. Ideal the day before a big game, this drill will assist your players in visualizing game situations and forces them to defend those situations at game speed.

Coach Martin's teams have had incredible success over his 38 years as a soccer coach, and after a behind-the-scenes glimpse at one of his full training sessions, you will be able to prepare your team to defend like champions.

"Coach Martin presents a thorough and step-by-step process of how to keep your team playing at its defensive best. As a high school coach, I don't have the time in a short pre-season to spend a practice entirely on defensive structure, the way Coach Martin does in the video. However, I plan to incorporate his drills throughout the season so that my boys are organized in the back and prepared for anything." - Customer Review

Midfielders are one of the more important positions in the game and need to constantly support and help their teammates.

In this video, Brandon Koons shows you how he trains the technical application of individual skills for midfielders to dominate the center of the field. You will learn how important it is to have the correct body shape, timing of runs, proper decision making, and the right attitude to excel.

Coach Koons breaks up this video into three keys areas. Within each, he breaks down and shows numerous progressions that will help your team be dangerous in the midfield. Coach Koons provides in-depth illustrations both on a white board and on the field to show key technical elements for your players. Coach Koons explains the teaching points he emphasizes during the exercises:

  • The movement and supporting angles needed from supporting players.
  • Reading the play and making the proper decisions based on positioning.
  • Runs that trigger other runs in the midfield third.
  • The importance of scanning and checking your shoulder for better vision.

Turning

Koons addresses the ability to turn in a dynamic setting by demonstrating a three-man unopposed passing pattern that lays the foundation to his team's ability to turn and play forward. The emphasis in this drill is on developing a good sense of rhythm when passing and making sure the angles of support are correct. He progresses by adding additional ways to be able to turn and face up the opposition.

Watch as Coach Koons walks his team through dealing with overweighted passes and how the center middies take pace off the ball to make a successful turn and pass. Conversely, see how to deal with an underweighted pass. The benefits of proper body positioning and an awareness of the playing environment are also discussed.

Passing and Dribbling

Koons walks through a series of passing and dribbling progressions that encourage good on-ball and off-ball movement. Throughout the progressions, he encourages ball movement through an emphasis on creativity, which is supported by communication, touch quality, an understanding of run shape, and an awareness of game space.

Overlapping

Learn a great progression to work on tight overlapping runs and how the center midfielder moves and interacts within a confined area. See how Koons teaches his players the different types of runs they can make to not only create space for themselves, but also the ability to combine and find third man runners. Throughout the unopposed exercises, he continues to stress how important off the ball movement can be to rip even the most compact defenses apart in a competitive environment.

The overlapping drills build on the prior drills in this video and are a good way to tie the session together.

Although designed for the center midfielder, these drills will benefit players of any position, including goalies. Koons does a great job detailing the drills on a whiteboard and then taking it to the field. Every coach must teach their team how to skillfully play through the midfield, and Coach Koons gives you the tools to do just that - and more!

Games at the highest level are won or lost in the midfield third, and coaches are always seeking the upper hand to dominate this key area. Your midfield players must possess the technical skill to be able to expose the spaces in front, behind, and in the flanks of the opposition.

Brandon Koons demonstrates a series of small-sided games he uses to build exceptional midfield players, which has made his teams an attacking threat en route to 13 conference titles. Coach Koons breaks up this video into six keys games. Within each game, he breaks down and shows numerous progressions that will help your team be dangerous in the midfield.

Using in-depth illustrations, both on a white board and on the field, Koons explains the teaching points he emphasizes during the exercises:

  • The movement and angles needed from supporting players.
  • Reading the play and making proper decisions based on positioning to find numbers-up situations.
  • What runs trigger other runs to penetrate going forward.
  • The importance of scanning and checking your shoulder for better vision.
Turning

Center midfielders need to practice the critical skill of turning, as well as connecting right-to-left and back-to-front. Watch as Coach Koons sets up a series of small sided games that focus on quick ball movement in a small space. These transition games teach players how to defend in a frantic environment as well as how to counterattack quickly when winning the ball. The progressions build these games up from an individual focus to a team focus to drive home the concept.

Passing and Dribbling

See how space manipulation within the small-sided games determines the speed and quality of passing and dribbling required for the center midfielder to control the game. These games force players to perform under controlled defensive pressure and be aware of maximizing the space available to play in. The fast and chaotic pace of these transition games forces players to be very aware of how the game develops in order to be successful.

Awareness

All of the small sided games presented by Coach Koons are excellent training methods to help develop field awareness. These games involve constant movement within a quick and ever-changing environment. In addition to building on individual skills, these games develop knowing where players are within the game and how they're impacting it. These games tie the technical, tactical, and cognitive skills of the center midfielder together.

Small Sided Games

The games presented on this video include:

  • North, South, East, West - The emphasis in this physical and psychologically-demanding game is on developing transition. As the game progresses in numbers, the angles of support are critical to maintain possession and build.
  • End Zone Game - This is where Coach Koons trains players to evaluate the spaces and options given to them by the defenders. It's during this game that Koons stresses which balls to play based on straight or angles runs and how important verbal and non-verbal communication can be in the midfield.
  • Double End Zone Game - Here, Koons teaches players to play off a forward's feet and what runs can be made off of it to be dangerous. He reiterates the importance of the different types of runs his players can make to not only create space for themselves, but also the ability to combine and find third-man runners.
  • The Mourinho Game - In this game, players are always on their toes and ready to not only take advantage of numbers-up situations, but also to delay and defend based on the coach's command. Based on what number the coach calls, certain players have to quickly change which field they are playing on to sprint and quickly assess the situation on the next field of play.
  • Four Goal Game - Coach Koons introduces how to create numbers-up situations with the player on the ball. During the five different progressions in this game, players are able to experience different situations on how to penetrate through playing off a target player, through balls, and the runs coming out of the midfield to create third man runs.

Through the use of small area games and space manipulation, see how to help your players become effective and efficient at ball movement. Using these competitive transition games from Coach Koons, you'll be able to teach your team how individual skills benefit team play.
