The most ambitious part of learning soccer before coffee

Would love to hear how other people handle this. I am especially curious about the version that works on a tired weekday, not just on an ideal Sunday.

I had a disappointing first try, a surprisingly good second try, and then a third attempt that taught me humility. So, naturally, I now have opinions.

I would not call it wrong, just incomplete. The 2-minute rule is underrated.

I love this. It feels practical without pretending life is neat. The quiet part is easy to underestimate.

Fair point, but I had the opposite experience. I am curious whether tactics still feels good next month.

There is probably a middle ground here. My only addition is to make the first step visible.

Honestly, great taste. I keep a note about fans for exactly this reason.
