Program #9 Team Training The difference between winning and losing is often the successful execution on Set Play situation both On offense and defense. In a 10 games season what if you could Score 5 More Goals and concede 5 Less Goals - a 10 Goals spread? In some competitions, I have calculated that as many as 60% of all goals scored have been from Set Play in others as low as 25%. Take the lower figure 25% one out of every four goals. Do you, as a coach spend 25% or more of your tactical team preparation time on Set Plays? For the vast majority of soccer coaches, the answer would be ..."No"! That's the difference between a winning and a losing season.
