Welcome to already the 28th issue of SoccerCoachingInternational; an issue with a UK feel to it. Featuring 3 articles from the British Isles and our training sessions from around the world section, which is entire dedicated to youth exercises from the UK. This 28th edition of SCI starts, however, with an article from the South American continent. As our Brazilian friends from Cidade do Futebol interviewed Luis Carlos de Oliveira Preto from São Caetano
about the key to success. From Brazil we go to Germany where we talked to Peter Hyballa about his battle training with the U18 selection at Borussia Dortmund. Our first feature from the UK is from Scotland where Roberto Landi has recently taken charge of the Livingston FC squad. He also talked to us about his former role with the Qatar U21 squad and his coaching philosophy. From Scotland to England where Steve Nickson and Tony Faulkner, two forward thinking pioneers at the academy of Blackburn Rovers, have developed a working model designed to ensure the club’s scholars maximise their full potential through developing
their mental approach to the game, having spent the past three years studying and meeting experts in the field. From mental coaching to tactics with Christian Lavers, who brings us part of his series ‘Organization of the 4-4-2’, this time tackling the defensive principles.
Back in the UK, I inter viewed Andrew Blight from the Newcastle United academy. Andrew
is the U15’s coach and shares his views on finding the right balance as a coach. Our last
stop on this editorial road trip was Poland: anyone who watched the Euro would have
been impressed by the Polish goalkeeper Ar tur Boruc, SoccerCoachingInternational talked
to his teacher: Krzysztof Dowhań who is in charge of the goalkeepers at Legia Warsaw.
