Coach explaining build-up play to a player

Do you recognise this in build-up?

Your defenders get pressed and miss when they can play forward or dribble in. Your midfielders play back instead of turning open.

You say it every week

You correct it and your midfielder nods. The next week it happens again. You lack the words to name exactly what goes wrong.

You see it, your player does not

The challenge is turning it into something a 16-year-old centre-back understands and does straight away.

It works in training

In the match you see little of it. You lack a way to carry it over to the match.

How the masterclass works

You apply everything straight away to match footage.

Session 1: positioning

You learn how players keep a forward option by positioning inside and outside the block. You analyse clips yourself, so you learn fast.

Session 2: decisions on the ball

You learn how the right choice between passing and dribbling turns build-up into an attack. You analyse your own matches or top matches in SmartCoach, with feedback from the teacher.

After the sessions

You get videos, example playlists and drills for your sessions. Including a month of SmartCoach with Clairence and access to the Smart11 Method.

Is this for you?

After two sessions you can

  • see straight away where build-up breaks down
  • explain in one or two sentences how your players avoid pressure and play forward
  • let players analyse themselves in 10 minutes in the Smart11 app
  • turn your analysis into your training sessions

For you if you

  • see the same build-up mistakes every week
  • always look for ways to improve as a coach
  • already use video analysis (Veo, Hudl, Spideo) or want to start
  • want to make your players better individually

Not for you if you

  • mainly want team tactics or systems of play
  • have just started coaching and want to learn the basics first
