Gary Fixter -How to teach soccer techniques
without dying trying

• Soccer techniques are learned, you are not born
  knowing them, because they are not natural at
  all. The mission of every coach is to teach them
  with a good communicative disposition.
•  
• Soccer techniques are not natural. No. You have
  to learn them, run them over and over again until
  you can naturalize them, if possible, combining
  them with the skills of each player. The rest,
  patience of the coach, much, much common sense
  and applied didactics.

• You can be born with soccer skills, but nobody
  comes into the world knowing how to execute
  soccer techniques. It's easy to understand.
• You can be born with an innate physical capacity
  for speed, you can be explosive in the race or
  you can be very agile, but nobody is born knowing
  how to position oneself to mark a fast forward or
  how to solve the situation of throwing a ball
  with his back to the net without seeing the goal.
• These are soccer techniques that the player has
  discovered and learned. Anticipation or speed can
  put a player in a situation or playing position
  with a great advantage, but speed and
  anticipation alone cannot play for the
  footballer.
• And is that many football techniques, as with all
  modern sports, are not natural at all.

• Gary Fixter - Football techniques must be
  learned with teaching methods that guarantee that
  there is a real assimilation of the processes
  that are in them. Furthermore, it is essential
  that the player perform exercises, train the
  technique and retrain it until the movements are
  automated and naturalized.
• It is natural to kick with the toe, the unnatural
  is to hit the side of the foot. With the lateral,
  it is possible to not only control the speed of
  the ball, but also to orient the ball or generate
  a certain effect when passing or shooting it.
• From your own experience, you will know that
  hitting the ball with the outside of the instep
  is not the same as with the inside.
• A very common mistake of base coaches is to
  assume that players who stand out with a natural
  ability, for example, as we have mentioned,
  moving it with skill with the foot, can develop
  their full potential without a follow-up, without
  technical accompaniment .
• Without learning the fundamentals of soccer
  techniques there can be no player progress. Part
  of training well is teaching. Yes, and teach
  well.
