Pressing Triggers: Teaching U14 Players to Read the Game Before the Ball Moves

Elite coaching isn't about giving kids the answer — it's about training their eyes. Here's how to build a press culture in three weeks using film sessions, shadow drills, and guided discovery questions that stick long after the whistle blows.
