Ross Whitehead🔥 • Aug 24For me, at the moment, the main one is definitely designing sessions so that everything flows and is connected. Tactical knowledge is a very close second, but at the 9/10 year old age group I’m not sure how important that is right now.2Reply

Jamie Birch🔥 • Aug 24@Ross Whitehead have you looked at the game model mate? From previous chats it sounds like you’re making progress with the session flow 👍🏻I think tactical knowledge should be something you look at before you get to 11v11, the numbers may be different but being able to spot weaknesses/strengths in your own team or the opponent plays through all levels.1Reply

Ross Whitehead🔥 • Aug 24I’ve looked at the game model, but not in depth. I’m trying to persuade our head coach to go with the weekly approach. He is coming at it from a different angle where we are repeating the same (or similar) exercises most sessions and hoping that eventually they stick. I’ll win him over eventually 😄Where is the best place to start WRT tactics? I’d say I have a fairly basic understanding and I’m keen to learn more.1Reply

Jamie Birch🔥 • Aug 24@Ross Whitehead I would probably start with spending more time not watching the ball. Watching the opposition when you have the ball, watching your players away from the ball. What opportunities do you see? What weaknesses do you see in the opponent or yourself? Do you see a particular area or player that you can isolate and overload. also when you watch games on TV, do the same. Think about shape, space, what would you change or do differently? That will snowball a lot of questions that you’ll want answers to and build your knowledge1Reply

Jamie Birch🔥 • Aug 24There are some tactical breakdowns in the 11v11 section of the classroom, take a look there and let me know if there’s something not there you’d like to see. Also Kevin is going to release the “how to analyse a game” course soon as well1Reply

Kenneth Thomas • Aug 25Looking at the game model has helped me a great deal working with a new team. Had our first set of games this weekend and fortunate to have had two weeks of practice! Having the guide has helped things flow a lot better for me which was something I’m still looking to growing and improving!2Reply

Jamie Birch🔥 • Aug 25@Kenneth Thomas great news Kenneth! Glad it’s working for you. It would be great to get some feedback from you once you’ve completed the 16 weeks for your age group0Reply

Stephen Kavanagh • Aug 25For me it is a combination of session design and linking it to match day as number one and then being bett on matchday at looking away from the ball to understand what the other team are doing and how we are able to adapt a bit to maximise our strengths. We are very attacking, we were top scorers in the league last year by a reasonable margin but finished 5th as we conceded more goals than all the top 6 by a significant amount. So if we can keep it tighter out of possession…..2Reply

Jamie Birch🔥 • Aug 25@Stephen Kavanagh I think you committing to paper what your principles of play are would help you a lot Stephen. So in the below game moments:1. In Possession2. Out of Possession3. When we lose the ball4. When we win the ballWhat do you want the team to do in those moments. Commit that to paper and that will help with your session design being more relatable to a match day and it will give players a clear idea of what you want them to do out of possession and when you lose the ball transitioning… See more1Reply

Kevin Middleton⭐🔥 • Aug 25Great thread, this.I need to work on time management and looking after myself more. Football has become a full time job inside another full time job for me.It is important that every coach takes the time to look after themselves as coach burnout is real.1Reply

Jamie Birch🔥 • Aug 25@Kevin Middleton agree with this one mate! Like we discussed recently mine is similar, I also need to be a bit more selfish and stop trying to please others. It it feels like a job, it probably is!1Reply
