Training for a specific position or area of the field (like forwards, outside midfield, etc). Functional training (Attacking Functional Sessions) & (Defending Functional Sessions) involves training or practicing the specific demands of a position or a role. This can be for an individual player, or for a unit (i.e. defense). For example, A soccer coach may run a functional training session for forward play, dealing specifically how two forwards work together in the attacking third. Functional training should take place in the area of the field where that scenario would occur in a real game.
