An interesting discussion on isolated vs game. I don’t think asking current expert coaches what they do is good empirical evidence for a particular type of practice. As Todd Beane said in the 🧵 there needs to be evidence for practice tasks……so here you go #coaching #soccer

average grassroots team has 1 hr/wk training & a match. Often they start with 10/15 min warm up without the ball then passing/technical drill 15/20 min & finish with a game - 50% of practice has little context of the game - opposed games from the start = 2 hr/month extra football

Great to celebrate the launch of Northumbria Uni’s Interdisciplinary Research Theme “Women’s Sport and Wellbeing” in Newcastle. Women in the Northeast spend more time in poor-health than in the rest of Britain. Redressing this gap is key to economic transformation of our region.

I’ll shout about this all day + night because it deserves to be shouted about. Wonderful example of a great coach in action.

Apparently at PSG when mannequins were set up Messi said, “I need a defender to read his movement, to time my move” “To unbalance a defender it’s more about bringing him with you, then feint & move sideways” Like asking a chess Grandmaster to practice by playing draughts 🤷🏻‍♂️
