Stephen Kavanagh • Oct 17Great idea. I can’t quite find the words for what I want to add and it might not be helpful or is probably the same thing expressed slightly differently! These pictures are very good at showing a principle and helping people see it - like the angles of passing one you did recently.2Reply

Kevin Middleton⭐🔥 • Oct 17@Stephen Kavanagh Thanks Stephen, I have a nasty habit of going into too much detail so making a conscious effort to start trying to visual a concept without going OTT with it0Reply

Jess Knox • Oct 17I might also add that decision making becomes “easier” the more a certain pattern is repeated. I guess I mean that under the category of “easy decision making,” you might describe a level of familiarity with the pattern or situation. A pattern that a player has seen many times will be a much easier decision with a higher confidence level than one that is new to them, right? I might think about a graphic that balances a matrix of factors: familiarity, spaces, and the number or intensity level of opposition. Now maybe I’ve gotten too complicated….3Reply

Jamie Birch🔥 • Oct 17@Jess Knox you’re absolutley right Jess. Take an up, back and through passing pattern for example. The more you do it the more likely your players are to look to break lines in that pattern on a match day 👍1Reply

Stephen Kavanagh • Oct 17I’m still not sure this is quite what I’m going for….trying to represent session design (as a mixing desk) to determine level of challenge/realism. By adjusting the faders you can ‘mix’ the design intentionally toward what you want to prioritise. Not sure the labels are quite right. It is how I think of it. My starting point is Moment, Slice, Situation (thank you Game Model) and then the mixer (in my head). What trade-offs am I happy to make to get the outcome the kids need? Hope it makes sense and supports yours @Kevin Middleton2Reply

Kevin Middleton⭐🔥 • Oct 17@Stephen Kavanagh This is brilliant. I love it!Take something like a Rondo - space doesn’t really open and close on the move, and your teammates are fairly static. It is a technical exercise thoughVersusA Positional Play 4v4+2 - you are constantly on the move to find space based off the neutrals, opposition, and where the ball is, and are having to manipulate space as a result. Perception levels need to be quite high.Different mixes and different outcomes! And very different levels of decisions to make in each2Reply

Ross Whitehead🔥 • Oct 18Great graphic Kevin! I’d say that the first one should possibly be “low decisions” rather than “no decisions” as the player can still decide to use a left or right foot depending on the pass from their teammate or a move they’re going to make (in your example dribbling around a cone - go left or go right).1Reply

Kevin Middleton⭐🔥 • Oct 18@Ross Whitehead thanks Ross, everyone has provided valuable feedback and yours is some more.Need to think about yours and @Jess Knox ‘s cos you are both correct.I think I was pitching this as team decision making or player decision making in the context of the team…. Or maybe in relation to the 4 reference points of football (Ball, Opponent, Space, Teammates).I’m second guessing myself, myself now 😂3Reply
