Key Concepts

Two Essential Tools, One Goal

Your coaching toolkit needs two instruments working together:

The 360TFT Game Model is your development roadmap. It shows what players should be learning at each age, how everything connects, and where they should progress next. The Game Model doesn’t care about last Saturday’s result. It cares about systematic, long-term development.

Match Analysis is your diagnostic tool. It shows where players currently are, what obstacles prevent development, and which training priorities need immediate attention. Analysis doesn’t create the development plan, it evaluates how well you’re executing it.

Why You Need Both

Game Model without Analysis = Flying Blind You follow age-appropriate progressions perfectly, but if your U14s keep losing possession under pressure, the Game Model says they should learn advanced combinations, but analysis reveals they haven’t mastered clean first touches yet.

Analysis without Game Model = Endless Fire-Fighting Every week, you identify problems and fix them in training. Players improve in isolated areas but plateau overall because you’re solving symptoms without systematically teaching them the concepts they need.

The 70/30 Rule

70% development-focused training from the Game Model, 30% addressing immediate analytical findings. This ensures systematic development remains primary while using analysis to optimise timing and focus.

The Complete Coaching Framework

Three integrated components:

1. The 360TFT Game Model - provides development direction
2. Match Analysis - provides performance diagnosis
3. How To Coach Technique - provides technical precision

This creates a powerful feedback loop:

• Development Context: Where players should be
• Performance Reality: Where players actually are
• Technical Expertise: How to fix problems effectively
