[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When Barcelona was here two years ago they had an open practice session. The one takeaway I had from a short observation was the intensity level of every drill. The rondos, the scrimmage, the other drills--the players were pushing hard on every play, every move. I swear a couple of fist fights could have come out of that scrimmage.

Replicating that level of intensity would be my choice for favorite practice.[/quote]

That's fantastic!  Intensity is so so important.   How do you (or how did they) get that intensity when many of these teams are just friends playing soccer together as opposed to kids trying to advance to higher levels of play or whatever.  If you have 16 kids on your roster lets say, it's hard to get them all to be intensity.  You're lucky if half are in my opinion.[/quote]

You demand it and push them while keeping in mind each individual player’s threshold. If they need to sit out or get some water it’s fine but they need to be animals as soon as they’re back on the field.[/quote]
