    Always thankful for the time that @cincyunited Alum & @USWNT Rose Lavelle ALWAYS has for the young players in our program. When they see you, having come from the same fields that they train on now, it inspires them to know what they can strive to one day become.

    Transition Warmup Phase 1, can focus on attacking or defending elements. 3 teams of 4, 4v4 to goals, neutrals can move a few yards off corners. Concede? Switch places with neutrals Score? New ball played in and attack the other way. @TacticalPad @MscEducation @Smedley033

    Clip from last night’s functional session, I worked w/ our attacking players on coming from a offside position vs opponent center backs. 1️⃣ Movement to unbalance 2️⃣ Separation touch to face up 3️⃣ Bait defender (feints/ball manipulation) 4️⃣ Open the window ➡️ finish #TheCDAWay
