Kevin Middleton⭐🔥 • Jul 15I have three (is that allowed?!)
- When I read Doug Lemovs book, The Coach’s Guide to Teaching
- When I saw a webinar by David Baird on Scoreboard Soccer. Such a simple concept that makes so much sense.3. When I first interviewed Tom Byer and heard about Football Starts at Home. Tom has jumped on a few calls since that initial interview and shared his knowledge freely with local coaches. Another simple concept, that makes so much sense.1Reply

Kevin Middleton⭐🔥 • Jul 15@Jamie Birch you always ask me difficult questions - haha!Doug’s book:
- My sessions spiralled and scaffolded. I worked on a theme and then the next week a different theme, then returned to the original theme, so players would learn, then forget, and learn again.
- Instead of ranting like a lunatic at training, my interventions were more thought out and prompt/question based. Let the players think and answer. This tests their understanding and allows you to return to a theme/topic sooner, stick t… See more

Ryan Byng • Jul 15For me, it was to stop being reactive with my training sessions and trying to correct an error from the saturday in a single training session on Thursday. I coach u9/u11 so realise the importance of sticking to a plan that delivers on the principles rather than keep changing themes based on a mistake 1 player may have made.No doubt will have a few more lightbulb moments in the coming months3Reply

Stephen Kavanagh • Jul 16Level 2 coach mentor telling me for my group of kids to ‘give them the game’ and to use constraints to encourage e.g. to encourage keeping the ball, award a penalty if someone boots it off, and they have to go and fetch it while the game goes on without them. Award a free kick for any aimless kicking. Total chaos at first, but once they get it, they get it. Put 6 balls around a 3v3 pitch (and set up 2 or 3 next to each other) on cones and it is a non stop game with overloads/underloads. He’d jus… See more3Reply

Jamie Birch🔥 • Jul 16Completly agree Stephen. A tutor once said to me, “is it football or does it just look like football”. Sometimes we can obsess over drills and over condition practice, but a game IS the game.Nothing wrong with starting with a game or making it 30-40% of your session. Some of my best coaching points and interventions come out in games. It’s the part i most enjoy and obviously the players do too!Love the conditions on aimlessly kicking the ball away etc.1Reply

Stephen Kavanagh • Jul 18We had a hoof-o-meter for several seasons logging aimless kicks by both teams to see if we could ‘win’ that regardless of the match result. We always won the hoof-o-meter.2Reply
