Join the NCAA's all-time winningest coach, Dave Brandt, as he leads you through a build-up of drills for your practices to help your players translate drill mechanics to game play. Demanding specific technical requirements of his players in each drill, Brandt shows you how to build your players' skills to the maximum. Starting with the basic "Dutch Diamond," Brandt has players work the ball around the diamond using two touches, one touch, cut backs and step over turns to reverse the ball and splits. Brandt then stretches the diamond out for his "Breaking the Line" drill where players have to receive a pass and take the ball across their body before passing off to the next location. Next, Brandt has his players work the ball around in the basic "W" pattern. He describes six different options than can be incorporated into this "W" formation including backside passes or opposite players and the give and go. Brandt includes a 5 v. 4 scrimmage game where the team works on translating the options they worked on without the defense present. Brandt has proven that these drills are effective for producing maximum results from your players.

The NCAA's all-time winningest coach, Dave Brandt, guides you through the philosophy that has helped him lead his teams to six NCAA Division III Championships. Sharing his building blocks for developing a championship culture, Brandt leads you through the ideas that you and your players need to for consistent success. Brandt's blocks focus on the team over the individual and having the team pursue relevance. He tells how this pursuit of excellence needs to be shown in what you and your organization do on an everyday basis. As a program, if you can have your players working towards a philosophy of perfection with every aspect of their game, they will never be satisfied by winning without perfection, and will always be striving to improve and never settle. Believing that every team can "ooze greatness and bleed excellence," Brandt teaches you in this soccer DVD how to motivate your team to aspire to greatness.

The NCAA's all-time winningest coach, Dave Brandt, reveals proven drills, techniques and ideas for holding dynamic soccer practices. Setting the tone early, Brandt runs his players through a vigorous warm-up consisting of running and stretching and passing drills. Using a team passing pattern, Brandt works the players through various one-touch passes, two touch passes, and cut-back dribbles. Brandt then moves his team into a 7-touch speed passing drill where a group of players works seven one-touch passes focusing on working quickly but under control. Brandt includes two competitive practice games - the 4v4 and the 10v9 one-touch scrimmage. The 4v4 game emphasizes scoring in a small field drill where you as a coach can find out who you can rely on to score. His 10v9 one-touch scrimmage makes players think about where they are going to pass the ball before it gets to them to increase their speed of play. Using competitive drills during your soccer practices will increase intensity and get your players ready to play full speed during games.
