Improving game awareness, anticipation & decision making, on and off the ball, through innovative training techniques
Soccer eyeQ Clinic in South Africa with Hellenic FC
Kevin McGreskin recently delivered a hugely successful Soccer eyeQ clinic for Hellenic FC in Cape Town, South Africa.
Here he is pictured with the club Director of Football, Mark Byrne (left), and the club Chairman, Andre Kinnear.
The clinic was well attended by the club coaching staff, as well as some local coaches from around the Cape Town area.
"Kevin has worked with the IFA in a number of coaching capacities. His contribution to IFA Coach Education has focused on the delivery of his programme on developing 'vision & awareness' and how 'mental overload' can be incorporated into sessions to challenge the player when preparing for what is a much faster game, in which must be both mentally and physically quick. Kevin has a great depth of knowledge relating to what players require mentally and technicall to be top performers in the modern game." Nigel Best, Performance Director, Irish FA.
"I absolutely love the ideas and my players really enjoy the exercises. Constant awareness of what's going on around you and the ability to know what you're going to do with the ball before you even receive are a necessity in the modern game. Soccer eyeQ forces the players to have constant little looks around them whilst working on the fundamentals of body shape and a good first touch. I'd happily recommend this to any coach who wants to develop their players." Steve Robinson ex-Northern Ireland International, Northern Ireland U19 International Coach
