Yesterday's football training was an absolute masterclass in grit. ⚽️🏃‍♀️

As a coach I'm actively preparing the girls for next season, which is a massive milestone because they’ll be stepping up to play 11v11 on a full-sized field. To build up the stamina they'll need, we started with some heavy conditioning.

Yesterday's menu:

- A steady 3km run
- High-intensity interval training
- Repeats running up a steep hill

The rain was falling during the run and came back right at the end of the training, but not a single one of them complained or slowed down. They just kept putting in the work—a true testament to their strength and character. 🌧️💪

After the running, we shifted gears to tactical work, focusing on positioning and formation within a 1-4-3-3 strategy. They worked hard on understanding when to press, how to use space, and transition on a full pitch. Honestly, they did fantastic absorbing the new concepts.

This weekend, they get to put all of it into practice. We are playing a tournament against four boys U11 and U12 teams. It's going to be a brilliant test of their conditioning and new tactical structure.

Incredibly proud of this team. Let's go! 🔥🏆 #Football #Coaching #Tactics #Grit #ProudCoach
