Relection:

Overall, I was happy with how the session went. I managed to get good success within the session relating to my session topic, specifically playing out through the full backs. Later on in the session, I asked the pressing team to play with a high press to challenge to POTFB team. This opened up different options to play out via clipping the ball into full backs. 

I was happy with how I worked with both centre back and goalkeeper using good technical detail. I needed to work with players further away from the ball to influence some situations better. 

At times the CF wanted to drop into central areas to get involved, but i didn't want this so some times stopped the practise and guided him away from the middle 3rd. 

If i was to do this session again I would move the goal back further as give some room for the CF for run behind.
