Coach's Overall Comments:
Mike has good
instincts in front of the goal. He must improve his timing of runs
and his ability to finish with his head and his left foot. He drifts
back into midfield as a forward and likes to combine. When he stayed
up high, he was effective laying balls off. He needs to be more
active in creating space for himself. Attitude is very positive.
Mentally strong. |
