“This training system solves the #1 problem in youth soccer, of keeping over enthusiastic players in position and supporting team shape”

It’s hair tearing stuff. Rather than keep their position, time and again you’ll see inexperienced players charging to win the ball, leading to frantic outbreaks of clumsy hit and run soccer. Not only is this lack of discipline frustrating to watch, it also creates huge gaps for the opposition to run into and score. It’s no wonder so many games are thrown away because over enthusiastic players won’t stay in formation.

Coaching Team Shape in the 4-3-3 shows you how to give players the positional discipline they may be lacking with grid based training. Not only do grids force players to maintain team shape, but it also helps to improve their decision making, passing angles and gives them a deeper understanding of how to move the ball quickly up the pitch.

Player spacing is one of the biggest problems in youth soccer. But it can create problems for players at a more senior level too. So if you to foster a team of disciplined players that know how to stay in their pens, Coaching Team Shape in the 4-3-3 gives you the perfect system to do it.

“Learn spatial awareness strategies from a coach who specializes in the development of systems of play”

PearsonCoaching Team Shape in the 4-3-3 Formation is born from its author Sean Pearson’s lifelong passion for coaching. He grew up watching his father’s vast collection of Liverpool games from the 1980s onwards, a period during which they were England’s most dominate team. From watching and analyzing their style of play, Pearson developed an appreciation for the benefits of smoothing passing and playing as a team.

Pearson first started coaching at the young age of 16, helping to train his local team. This continued while at Oxford Brookes University, where he helped to train the university side. Upon graduating, Pearson continued to pursue his passion for coaching at Sheffield United’s Academy, coaching junior sides up to the age of 14. During his time at Sheffield United, Pearson was able to observe professional level coaching firsthand and gain his UEFA B License.

Pearson then decided to take his coaching education abroad, moving to the USA in 2009. It was here that Pearson crystallized his specialty in developing systems of play, which could be used by coaches at every level. He also further developed his philosophy in sharing possession and make it easier for each other with lots of movement off the ball, combination plays and penetrating runs into the box.

While in America, Pearson also expanded his coaching qualifications, gaining an NSCAA Premier Diploma and Director of Coaching Diploma. He currently coaches the U20 Men’s team and U15 Boys at the FC Philadelphia, where he is also responsible for staff development.

Pearson is also the author of Coaching Team Shape in the 3-3-1 and Coaching Team Shape in the 4-2-3-1
