Set-up

Static stretching led by a player volunteer while coach asks three questions about what they learned about the 4-3-3 shape today — verbal answers only, no pressure, just planting the seed.

Coaching points

  • Stretch properly — hamstrings and hip flexors, not just the fashionable ones
  • If you can't answer the question about your position yet, that's fine; by Friday you will
  • Hydrate before you sleep

Progressions

  • Increase Q&A complexity each day as tactical vocabulary grows
  • By Thursday the players lead the debrief without prompting
