@stuholden Stu - as you observe ask yourself this? How many players on the field have the ability to deliver an accurate pass over distance that requires the game to get larger for their development? Having looked at this for many year kids need more room to naturally grow into the game.

[David Cook ⚽️ @DavidCookND]

@MirellevR Great post. Also important to note… we don’t see with our eyes we see with our mind… past experience matters… we see what was useful to us based on past experience… we don’t see what exists… we see what we can make meaning from.

Mic'd up 🧤🎤

We mic’d up Goalkeeper Coach Phil Boerger as he ran Patrick Schulte, Evan Bush and Brady Scott through training. Then, Schulte spoke about the upcoming matches in Houston and Montreal.

If you are using data and trying to reduce it into useable/practical insights to inform decisions in sport read this thread 👇@Soccermatics is always posting interesting/insightful stuff in the space 🙌

[David Sumpter @Soccermatics]

A big challenge for any football club looking to integrate data in to their decision-making is knowing what the next steps are.

Here is a thread based on recent experiences working with clubs. What level do you think the team you support/work for on?

Poll down the thread.🗳️

[David Cook ⚽️ @DavidCookND]

For those interested in looking more deeply/accurately into how player movements/player positions affect the opposition this is a pretty interesting (good) visual.

[David Sumpter @Soccermatics]

John Stones is pretty exceptional in his role.

Here are his defensive and attacking runs in the CL final. All the way up the pitch to receive the ball and then all the way back to defend.

[David Cook ⚽️ @DavidCookND]

This whole thread by @JillLoyden is really good. This point regarding the space a goalkeeper occupies and how it affects the outcome of what actually occurs is one of the most under taught aspects of not just goalkeeping but defending as a whole. Really good stuff here.

RECAP:
AD Franch's positional excellence nudges teams to serve the ball further from goal and into less dangerous areas. It also gives her more time to get prepared for a reaction. And her insane close range reactions make it incredible difficult for teams score.

A very interesting listen for coaches wanting improve the performance of their team or those of us who just want to know more 😉. Exceptional answers from @georgson82 from his time at Brentford and Arsenal.

Ibland hör tränare av sig och är nyfikna på hur det är att jobba som specialtränare för fasta situationer. Just det pratade vi länge och väl om på The coaches voice panel förra veckan så in och lyssna om ni är nyfikna.

"You haven't taught them until they've learned..."

The immortal words of John Wooden...

But learning is tough! Why? Because remembering is difficult!

Coaches: let's do a short deep dive into forgetting, remembering, teaching and learning

This thread by @Doug_Lemov is worth a read…. if you care about how people learn- proximity to role models within a performance environment matters

[Doug Lemov @Doug_Lemov]

Last week I listened to Ashley Cole talking about his life as a player and how he now approaches coaching at an FA event. It was a great talk by the way… 🧵

@brayden_schatz @coachflohr @CoachRyanGent @CoachStephensOL @Fbcoach_vrw Congrats happy for you.

[David Cook ⚽️ @DavidCookND]

4 thumbs up for @dakotaunited today and good luck @USMNT on Monday!

Experts learn more from a given experience because they can connect it to their prior knowledge. It’s the connections that build memory and allow us to learn. @hruizmartin (translation inexact)

Just read this @hockeylandmovie article while watching @NHLFlyers v @TBLightning on @espn. 15% of players in the game(6 tot) played Minnesota HS hockey. The 6 played 19 seasons of HS hockey. All played through senior yr. 4 of 6 are 25 or younger. All played at public high schools

@DanAbrahams77 A mistake in this situation (if you are going to defend man to man v. Kane) is making physical contact prior to the service (when you can tell when/where the ball will arrive). Defenders often default to using physical size to gain position, but Kane is skilled at using his body.

[David Cook ⚽️ @DavidCookND]

@DanAbrahams77 It is defendable (but easier said then done). Simply put, Kane gains positional advantage on the opponent and the ball arrives at the right time to exploit it. The question is: how do you go about best defending it as an individual and a collective. I look forward to the article.

My daughters finished soccer camp and wanted a burger. I asked: “should we do 5 Guys or Big Boy” … my oldest said: “ahhh what’s with these names… when I get older I am going to own a restaurant named 6 Girls.” My youngest said: “mine will be Little Girl.”
