In this episode, Gary Curneen is joined by Luis Swisher, U18/U19 coach at St. Louis City SC (MLS), to break down one of the most undervalued attacking moments in soccer: throw-ins.
Most teams get 25–45 throw-ins per match, yet very few coach them with the same detail as build-up play, goal kicks, or corners. Luis explains why throw-ins should be treated as controlled attacking restarts, not throwaways — and how teaching intentions, space, and decision-making can lead to more possession, progression, and goal-scoring opportunities.
We discuss:
Why there are more throw-ins than corners — and why that matters
Coaching the thrower as the “quarterback”
Intentions vs predictable set routines
How to train attacking throw-ins without killing session flow
Scaling throw-in detail from youth to professional level
