Scoring with your back to the goal

A new session design masterclass features Coach Pholo sharing her practice design with a focus on scoring with your back to the goal.

Coach Pholo

Coach Pholo

Coach Pholo 🇿🇦  played the Athens Olympics as a player for South Africa. She also played football and even represented her country at a world cup in touch rugby as well. Following her playing days she turned to coaching. She became a level 4 accredited FIH coach as well as a renowned coach educator for the FIH Academy. Today she runs her own hockey academy, coaches for the University of Johannesburg and is the striker coach for the SA national men’s team.

Scoring with your back to the goal

Pholo will be building a full practice for your team focussed on scoring with your back to the goal. We will be using a tool called XPS for our session design. XPS is the most comprehensive coaching software out there. It includes a playbook feature to make your own drawings, diagrams and animations to visualise your drills or games. A library to store all of your drills and exercises. An interactive calendar to start planning your next team practice by drag & drop from the library, logging attendance to keep up the stats and launching questionnaires to all of your players to request their training load or other feedback automatically following each training. We’ll show you how it works, but we’ll also make sure the chats and practice design sessions are useful to you if you do not want to use XPS yourself.
