Heading under pressure -

Set up as before but now in groups of 3. Player 1 throws the ball to player at point 2. Player 3 runs in to distract. Repeat with Player 1 running in from the front after throwing to provide pressure from a different direction.

Rotate players regularly

Again, work on defensive header (over feeder's head) and attacking (can you put it low to the side of the on-rushing defender

Reflection Action Plan:

The session was a good standerd. However i affected the session with my emotions as i came to the session in a bad mood. I let this effect me by shouting when people did things wrong and it wasnt right. A major point for next ime will be to not being personal problems to coaching sessions. Also the space we had to do the session was limited and needed to be bigger, again this is something that needs to be addressed before the next session. Overall im disapointed in myself for allowing my emotions to ruin what i hoped to be a positive session.
