Koolman

Marco Koolman was raised on Total Soccer as a teenager growing up in the Netherlands. He then moved to the US in 1991 to study business administration at Gannon University and to launch a highly successful coaching career.

His first coaching role began straight after completing four years playing for Gannon’s Golden Knights, where he attained the team’s second highest ranking ever for assists with 44 to his name. Building on the respect built as a player, Koolman took over the team’s coaching responsibilities for six seasons and won the NSCAA National Coach of the Year award in his third season.

After leaving the Golden Knights, Koolman became head coach at the Franklin Pearce University. While there he helped the Ravens to make six consecutive appearances in the NSCAA Tournament and national runners up in 2005. This led to him being named NSCAA New England Coach of the Year an additional three times. In 2007 the team finally claimed the NCCAA Division II National Championship, earning Koolman another National Coach of the Year award to add to his rising tally.

Koolman’s growing reputation then took him to Boston College as associate head coach in 2009. While there he helped the Eagles to the third round of the NCAA tournament and a 10-5-5 record. A stint as head coach and Director of Soccer at Spire Institute then followed before Koolman was appointed head coach at the College of the Holy Cross. At his new home, Koolman has amassed a 201-75-28 record, the 13th all time highest in NCAA Division II history.

What’s covered in Dutch 4-3-3 Building from Midfield

The midfield is where you have space to make things happen in the 4-3-3. The closer to goal you get the more the numbers increase and the space is squeezed. This video series covers a complete coaching session on how to harness the space of a three man midfield to create more goal scoring opportunities.

Koolman begins the session with a warm-up which helps players to understand their responsibilities in midfield. Players are split into two groups and given three balls for each line to move the ball around cones. This helps to develop a familiarity of how center backs will play the ball to advancing midfielders. In addition, the drill helps players to develop their concentration, focus and how to get into position to receive the ball. With creating space the key to harnessing the third man in the 4-3-3 formation, this warmup is great for timing runs and improving the quality of passing.

The coaching session then shifts to focus on building the creativity of a three man midfield. Koolman highlights the importance of short quick passes, playing the ball to the right foot and how to get the ball out to wingers. Defenders are then added to the session to add pressure to the timing and quality of passes.

The session is then progressed to include goalkeepers who distribute to holding midfielders. Koolman emphasizes the importance to always be progressing forwards up the wings and why they should play the ball deep for them to run onto. With the timing of runs up the wings key to playing an expansive three man midfield, an opposing defender is added to raise the pressure.

Koolman ends the session by focusing on linking the midfield with forwards and discussing how you can force opposition defenders out of position with a roving third man. He then ends the session explaining the importance of moving the ball to the final third as quickly as possible and quick decision making is vital.
