Explicit Direct Instruction in Sports. A long-ish🧵:

One of the consistent findings of CogPsych is that while discovery learning can be effective for experts, direct instruction benefits novices.

Youth coaches often overlook this & assume...

Finish the Attack v Low Block

4 v 4 game.

@SundayShare10

[Matt Walker @coachmattwalker]

@_otlfc @SundayShare10 The big goal is not within the playing area (my poor sketch - 🤦‍♂️)

Target for finish the attack are 2 angled back mini goals and central mini goal. (Angled back to encourage players to get down the sides and cut the ball back)

Low Block teams targets 2 mini goals in central area

Every year, Manchester United's U13s learn about the Munich Air Disaster and the Busby Babes.

On Sunday, they presented to Liverpool's U13s before a memorial match at Carrington.

It was a special morning, including this pre-match poem.
