Setting a Defensive Wall in a Free Kick
by Jose Silva Caparros:
It is difficult for a lot of coaches to know if the goalkeeper is doing a good job when he is setting up a defensive wall in a free kick. Firstly, because a lot of coaches have never played in that position, and secondly, because some coaches do not have the luck to have a goalkeeper coach in their teams.
This article helps to improve the knowledge about setting up a defensive wall through a brief list with the characteristic of the wall, and a soccer field picture divided for zones with the different number of players that the goalkeeper must to set in the defensive wall.

instructions from the goalkeeper) , and the goalkeeper has to set him outside from the first post. - The second and third player have to be stout and tall.

Repetition is THE key to developing automatic movements
Dr Fraser Harban •Repetition is THE key to developing automatic movements. This exactly how the brain develops complex motor plans and programmes within the basal ganglia and supplementary motor areas of the brain.
Once these complex plans have been written they can be executed without conscious involvement and are therefore ‘spinal’ in nature and rapid. The only way to write these plans is by drilling the components in training environment.
Disease in the brain has shown us how the brain learns activities and this is eminently relevant in sports training. We can train aspects of the game and yes, whilst sport is random in nature, rehearsed drills can be used either in components or whole to achieve rapid, automated actions.
