Some clips from training this morning. Simple drill, 4 colored cones, reaction and finish. Change the turns to suit your game.
I know I'm bias but can you believe some of the whip on the second shot? Outrageous.
Personally, I don't think the USWNT are celebrating HARD ENOUGH!
They just won the World Cup. If anybody is offended by these AMAZING players celebrating, shock horror, by having a few drinks and singing, get a grip.

"the women’s team has actually generated more revenue than the men’s since the 2015 World Cup. USWNT games generated more total revenue than the USMNT games from 2016 through 2018: $50.8 million in revenue vs. $49.9 million for the men"
Has there been an explanation of why this was called off?
I feel like it was just too hot for the ref to handle.
Just too much sauce all over the field. Too much.

London left last night to go to doggy heaven.
I know a lot of you loved seeing pictures and videos of him with Gunner & Frank.
This was one of the last pictures I took.
London made my life a billion times better. A piece of me is missing.
Go and hug your best friends.
So impressed with the USWNT tonight.
Alex’ movement off the ball has gone to the next level. Kelley was relentless. Tobin & Pinoe lights out.
Imagine being France and seeing Press come off the bench. Unreal depth.
Me in 2013: 'So what do you want to do in soccer'
Rach: 'Play for England in the World Cup'
Me: 'You have the sauce that's achievable'
Rach: 'Problem is, I got told I will never play for England again'
Me: 'Well that will be nice when you actually do then eh'
Rach: 'Lets do it'
Say what you want about that Dash Pride game, but the passion showed by both teams is great.
Also Marta decked both Rachey and Mewis, if I’m ever in a fight I know who I want next to me 😂
The message that it sends me?
A 15 year old boy can play professionally in MLS.
A 15 year old girl cannot play professionally in the NWSL.
Thats the message.
Which, correct me if I'm wrong, but that's what we are fighting against?
Olivia Moultrie, 15, wants to play in the NWSL. The NWSL says she can't until she's 18.
Moultrie could sign pro in Europe if she was European. MLS signs U-18 teens regularly.
Moultrie's attorney Len Simon says the NWSL is violating antitrust laws.

‘just because a kid can juggle doesn’t make them a good player.’
While this is true, I always respond with
‘I have never met a good player that cannot juggle though.’
For everything she has done and everything she has meant to this program we say, THANK YOU ❤️
Jill Ellis will step down as #USWNT head coach in October.

Legendary: Jill Ellis Will Step Down as WNT head coach in October
After five-plus years at the helm of the U.S. WNT, head coach Jill Ellis will step down following the USA's Victory Tour games in October.
Random thoughts. You have to be 10 yards away from a free kick right?
Then surely the goalkeeper should be allowed to move 2 yards seeing the penalty spot is 12 yards from the goal line?
Friday Thoughts.
Super proud of @anikaarodriguez. Her path has been different, first PSV and now a Championship with @TigresFemenil.
Also, not a bad first season for @cmoscato4 🙌🙌🙌
*BREAKING NEWS* The Boston Globe has discovered #WoSo exists and decided to cover a negative story instead of bigging up the tournament.
Great job vultures!
On a sad day, RIP Diego, this picture made me really happy.
I know I’m extremely bias but this sort of meteoric comeback is unheard of, and now to be training with her sister, on the best team in the world.
A role model who I constantly rinse on social, but I’m SO proud of Mewis.
𝗝𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗲 𝗢𝘃𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲. 𝗠𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗮 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗮. ✨⚽️
This isn’t just a goal, it’s a 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗿𝘁.
There’s a reason they say 𝗝𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗲 𝗢𝘃𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲 𝗲𝘀 𝗺á𝗴𝗶𝗰𝗮. Having worked with her at Tigres, I can tell you, 𝘀𝗵𝗲’𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁.

DAY 3: Low Low High Juggling
This is great for your control and touch.
Juggle the ball a few times at normal height, then put it above your head height, next touch control in the air.
Better you are, the higher you can put the ball!
Let’s see if you can crush this drill! There’s about 100 different variations for this set up but here’s a simple one.
- check into the box
- check your shoulder
- turn and break the lines of defense with a pass into a small goal or gate
- try not to touch any cones
***30 DAY DEVELOPMENT CHALLENGE***
DAY 1: 4 CONE DRILL FOOTWORK:
PULL BACK, SCOOP SCOOP ROLL.
Practice it, get it down, then see how many touches you can do in ONE MINUTE!
Film it, upload it to your IG, tag #ChampionsDoMore#OwnYourDevelopment
$150 million surplus. A touch over 1% of that could have floated the Breakers for a season until a new owner was found. 1%. But no... sit on that ca$h and then shout from the rooftops that you care about Women's soccer.
