    For bursts of speed and running duels: plan the training steps for sprint speed and acceleration separately.

  2. Dribbling

    For more control on the ball: target attributes such as ball control, balance and agility in your training plan.

  3. Shooting

    For chances in front of goal: decide whether your player works on finishing, shot power, long shots or other shooting attributes.
