Most teams say the same thing: “We just need someone to score goals.”
But what if the problem isn’t the player… it’s the understanding of the position?
In this episode, Gary Curneen sits down with JP Owens (Ireland U17 Women’s National Team Performance Analyst & Shelbourne First Team) to break down the detail behind elite centre forward play. From movement in relation to teammates, to how the best strikers dictate passes rather than wait for service, this is one of the most in-depth conversations we’ve had on the #9 role.
We dive into:
Why most forwards struggle to impact games
The relationship between the passer and the striker
How elite forwards “plot” movements before the ball arrives
Practical ways to coach striker movement inside team sessions
How to build a culture of player-led development using video and feedback
If you coach or work with forwards, this will completely change how you see the position.
