Kevin Middleton⭐🔥 • Oct 23 (edited)What is a good player? Someone who can do the basics to a high level in the context of decision making (my definition).It is far too simple to say (e.g.) unopposed exercises are worthless as they don’t translate to the game. I think trying to help coaches understand when and how to use exercises to help players perceive the game better in relation to the reference points.3Reply

Stephen Kavanagh • Oct 24@Kevin Middleton I’ve got an aversion to unopposed for the reason you give. But. I think the key thing is understanding the reason for doing it, dialling the noise down and focussing and appreciating that you need to add decision making back in for it to translate to a game. All practice is in some way dialling the realism down unless it is 11v11 so we are all making these trade offs all the time. It is knowing why that is the key for me.

Kevin Middleton⭐🔥 • Oct 24@Stephen Kavanagh spot on.In a team environment, it’s difficult. The player who is struggling may want to get extra help on a 1-2-1 basis, but the 1-2-1 coach should link in with the club coach so there is no miscommunication and the play is actually working on what they need.Most of the time it is a pressure free environment to work on a weakness1Reply

Sean Ancheta • Oct 26Most of my practices at the moment involves games where players are having to make a lot of decisions. Most of my players don’t play football outside of practice or in the off season. Some of the games we lose boils down to experience. The players have just not made certain decisions before, or seen certain scenarios so therefore they are not sure what’s the best way to navigate them.We have done rondos, and SSG for every practice leading up to our first game. That’s all we did for 2 weeks. I as… See more3Reply

Kevin Middleton⭐🔥 • Oct 26@Sean Ancheta I always say you have to make training harder than a match. Matches become more straightforward for players when that happens.The opposition can make that statement look stupid, but that’s where a coach preparing his players properly comes into playGood job sean2Reply
