In this episode of the Modern Soccer Coach Podcast, Gary is joined once again by Joop Oosterveld, who recently took on the role of Head Coach with Lech Poznań II in Poland. Joop breaks down his approach to session design and explains how coaches can place individual development at the center of the training process while still working within a team environment.

The conversation explores how IDPs can live inside game-based training, why Joop believes 85% of a session should include attacking, defending and transition moments, and how coaches can manipulate numbers, spaces, rules and constraints to challenge different individuals within the same exercise. Joop also discusses intensity, physical development, competitiveness, keeping session design simple and creating problems that allow players to find their own solutions.

A fascinating conversation for coaches looking to connect individual player development with the realities of team training.
