This study suggests that "fundamental" ⚽️ skills like receiving and passing are not distinct skills to be trained in isolation. The researchers found that players' movements when receiving a ball differed depending on whether they then had to make a quick pass afterwards.

Not only is this a great list of snippets but it also provides coaches a great list of podcast to follow and use as resources for the CLA, Skill Acquisition, Learning Theory and other concepts within the Ecological Dynamics framework.

“Technique isn't plug and play As a a matter of fact technique developed out of context has to be relearned in context” This quote is the essence of technique training vs skill development. Without game context all you get is technique. Skill requires game context.

Great question. In other words if we want players to excel in the game environment then why do we not make practice more like that game environment. More competitive, intense, get rid of flow drills, more game elements, more decision making, etc.

Critical coaching point…play does not always equate to games. Through RLD and the CLA coaches can ensure “play” is a component of practice activities.

My Observations 🇺🇸 🧵 Here are a few thoughts after having trained kids and listened to coaches from coast to coast. ▪️Passivity Kids need to be held accountable for their energy and intensity. ▪️Parents. So many coaches being burdened by a few overly aggressive parents.
