Winter weather can throw even the best-planned training sessions off track, but it doesn’t need to mean a wasted hour.
In this episode, Vinny Halsall returns to share his advice on keeping outdoor sessions effective, safe, and enjoyable when conditions get cold and wet.
We talk about the realities of coaching through cold and rain and navigating the unpredictable nature of winter weather. With the small adjustments to session planning and communication that Vinny shares, coaches can still ensure player outcomes are still met.
