APFA & Modern Soccer Coach – Scanning: Improving Awareness with Kevin McGreskin

Improving awareness and decision making are at the top of many coach’s objectives in the modern game. Last Friday, we were fortunate to be joined by one of the leading practitioners in this area in Kevin McGreskin. With experience at the youth and senior professional levels, Kevin has developed a specific methodology to increase scanning and improve game awareness, to provide players with the tools to make better decisions.
