Tactical Shape Walkthrough and Team Talk

Slow walk-through of the starting shape and set-piece assignments at jogging pace — no contact, no sprinting. Coach narrates calmly. Finish with the squad in a huddle: brief, clear, honest team talk about what's been built this week and what tomorrow means.

• Everyone knows their job — trust the work you've put in
• Set pieces are drilled; execute them with confidence, not hesitation
• We go into this game as a team — no individuals, no egos, just the shape

• Allow players to ask questions about their roles — two minutes open floor, then close it
• End with a captain's word if you've identified one — ownership starts now
