Great to spend the day leading a LMA Masterclass on ‘developing highly effective teams’ to Premier League / EFL First Team & Academy managers & coaches for Leading Edge Performance. Reflections: linkedin.com/posts/nick-lev…

Not sure why the set piece coach at Premier League games has to get off the bench to be on the touchline every time there is one. Saw this at U23 level as well. Just let the players deal with it and execute.

Never understand why commentators say “the 4G pitch is a leveller” in the Tamworth (non-league) v Huddersfield FA Cup game. They don’t play on an ice rink! Pretty sure the Huddersfield lads will have seen one of these before and certainly played regularly on one!

Great to watch my son playing rugby this morning, dodging and weaving, as part of a joint training session with another club. They trained together for an hour, mixed all kids into different teams, and played a variety of games. An approach I think other sports could learn from!

One of the greatest episodes of The A’ Team was on tonight. When collaborations of athletes were new and incredible!!!

Good to see the school has broken tradition and asked one of the dad’s to draw the front cover for the carol service programme this year… (Nick, 48)

Nice evening to get back to coaching after the Christmas break…!!

Interesting watching the goalkeepers now trying to tactically break the routine of the penalty taker that slows their run and watches them. Stand still as long as you can, don’t show your hand!! The GK that moves early makes it too easy now.

Just found this end of month report I did for an U10 Academy player. This lad has gone on to play 150 Premier League games yet was middle of the group without any real standout attributes at that age. Talent identification is never linear or easy... #TalentID

The more I watch football, the more goalkeepers catching the ball then dropping to their knees like they’ve just saved the hardest shot in the world is annoying me. One for IFAB and the referee world to sort out!!

Come on officials!! How can you miss this?!! #uefaU21

As you start to think about what pre-season training might be for youth football and rugby, please have a read of this first... linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…
