The touring musician as fashion icon is a perpetual cat-and-mouse chase. It’s the lament of every style-minded ingénue: the disheartening feeling that washes over you when you ask some well-dressed friend/acquaintance/stranger, “where’d you get your shirt/necklace/ring/shoes?” and she answers, “oh, somewhere I don’t remember in some amazing city in some country you’ll never visit.”
Admiring a musician or band for their music is one thing, but an interesting, inspiring look really amplifies how you perceive an artists’ performance. And while you can’t blame a band for looking like they just rolled out of their touring van and onto the stage without having done laundry for weeks — because that is in fact the case pretty much 99% of the time — artists who make the effort to present a resonating visual connection along with the music we love are especially deserving of our attention/obsession. These ladies are on constant rotation in our playlists and in our closets.

Technique “” For U6, U7 and U8 players, work on the FUNdamentals “” that is, basic football technique and improving basic skills. Group football training drills and small sided games will help them learn how to be part of a team and when to employ the football skills they have learnt. Make sure you rotate playing positions so all players learn the basic principles through defending drills to attacking drills. Try and keep kids football drills short and fun to avoid boredom. Under 6, under 7 and under 8 players are naturally selfish so don”t expect them to pass too much and do expect them to follow the ball – they want to be involved! Typically, it”s not until they progress to under 9 and under 10 they firmly grasp the concept of using players around them to keep possession of the ball as a team.
