Here are the 3 Keys for Maximizing the Value of iSoccer:
(1) Commit to testing your players periodically (at least twice each season).
>>> Create a culture of proven development
>>> Make sure every player is better (has higher scores) by the end of the season--Set this as the Goal!
>>> "This is the same as school, but better (!) because measuring and tracking progress makes you a more technical soccer player, like Xavi & Messi!"
(2) Include iSoccer Assessment ("testing") components in training sessions.
>>> Switch up technical training with timed exercises in 5m x 5m areas
>>> Repetition under pressure (under time & space constraints) helps players perform under pressure (in tests, in tight game situations, etc)
(3) Have (Fun) competitions that emphasize development.
>>> Award top players, most improved players, etc. Set up 1v1 challenges between coaches, players and even parents!
>>> Recognize development and commitment to practicing more
>>> Sometimes include parents to run part of, or the entire Test Day
