Forward Film Room

A working library of attacking video for strikers and wingers, sorted into the same nineteen modules as the training checklist. Reels are quick — watch one on the sideline and coach it immediately. Sit-downs are the long ones, for a classroom session or homework. Tick a box when you’ve used it; the page remembers.

Movement Off the Ball & Losing Your Marker

51 videos

The half-second before the ball is played decides everything. Double movement, blind-side runs, near and far post. This is the module that separates a forward who waits from one who scores.

Receiving, First Touch & Back to Goal

41 videos

Receiving on the half-turn when you can, protecting and setting when you can’t. Includes turning a defender and the first touch that beats a marker on its own.

03

Running in Behind & Beating the Offside Trap

23 videos

Curved runs, timing off the last defender’s shoulder, diagonal runs across the back line. The Inzaghi clips are the best offside-line teaching material on YouTube.

Finishing Technique

40 videos

Side-foot placement, the driven laces finish, the chip, the curl, the volley, and the weak foot. Technique before situation — everything in Module 5 depends on this.

1v1 Dribbling & Beating a Defender

52 videos

Body feints, change of pace, close control in tight space, and dribbling at speed. Teach three moves properly rather than thirty badly.

08

Hold-Up & Link Play

18 videos

Shielding, setting, and bringing others into the game. The half of centre-forward play that never shows up on a stat sheet but wins matches.

The #9 — Centre Forward

29 videos

The complete striker, the poacher, the target man, the lone #9 and the strike partnership. Lewandowski and Haaland are the two reference points.

The Winger & Wide Forward

51 videos

Isolating the full back, cutting inside, staying wide to stretch, and tracking back. Salah, Vinicius, Saka and Yamal carry this module.

The False 9 & Playing Between the Lines

34 videos

Dropping into the pocket, pinning centre backs, and the movement that pulls a defence apart. Kane, Benzema, Firmino and Messi as models.

Crossing & the Final Ball

27 videos

The cut-back, the early cross, the whipped ball and the driven low cross. Where wide players turn work into assists.

Combination Play in the Final Third

34 videos

One-twos, third-man runs, up-back-through, overloads, and breaking down a low block. Forwards score more when they combine than when they run alone.

Defending From the Front

36 videos

Pressing triggers, the cover shadow, and counter-pressing. There is no longer such a thing as a forward who doesn’t defend.

Set Pieces & Penalties

Attacking corner runs and routines, free-kick technique, and penalties — technique plus the nerve to take one.

Physical — Speed, Power & Agility

30 videos

Explosive first step, acceleration, change of direction, plyometrics, and the upper-body strength to hold a centre back off.

Mentality, Confidence & Common Mistakes

23 videos

Scoring droughts, composure in front of goal, and an honest look at the errors forwards actually make. The most important module for a striker who has missed three in a row.

How this list was built, honestly. These came from a broad search sweep, then were curated by topic, source and how instructional the video looks — not by watching all of them end to end. Treat it as a stocked shelf, not a graded reading list: skim two or three in a module, keep the ones that teach the way you coach, and ignore the rest. One honest gap — near-post flick-ons and dedicated tap-in work barely exist as YouTube topics, so Module 5 covers poaching through general box-movement material instead. YouTube links do rot, so if one is dead, the module heading is your search term.
