The challenge is choosing the right work
Know what a child needs at this stage.
It is easy to expect tactical behaviours before a child is ready.
A session can look good on paper yet miss how children actually learn.
Results and comparisons can obscure a player's long-term development.
The simple version
You are working with a child, not a miniature adult player.
Think of a young footballer's development as building a house.
First come the foundations: movement, coordination, play, confidence and a love of sport.
Build the upper floors too soon and the house may look impressive while its foundations remain weak.
A good coach knows what to build today so a player can grow tomorrow.
