A great coach is not determined by the level of the athlete he or she works with but rather by what the coach can do with the level of that athlete.

In a match, players spend more time without the ball than with the ball.

It’s vital young players learn what to do off the ball.

Spending most of your session on ‘individual ball mastery’ means they’ve lost out on so much opportunity to learn the actual game of football.

[Foot-Tech Academy @FootTechAcademy]

Truth is, the best form of support SOME parents could give would be to simply wait in the car till the game is over

[Foot-Tech Academy @FootTechAcademy]

Kids you coach now will thank you in the future for making them a better player.

They won’t thank you for prioritising winning over their development.

[Foot-Tech Academy @FootTechAcademy]

Children do not learn best from being shouted at, from being criticised or from being told about their mistakes.

They learn best from encouragement, guidance and praise.

[Foot-Tech Academy @FootTechAcademy]

Research shows that 90% of young footballers play better in a positive environment - The FA

[Foot-Tech Academy @FootTechAcademy]

Mastering the ball doesn’t mean they’ve also mastered the game

[Foot-Tech Academy @FootTechAcademy]

If your child is dribbling around cones at their training, they aren’t getting better at football.

They’re getting better at dribbling around cones.

We were back at @LowerWortleyPS today to see Dan @FootTechAcademy deliver our ‘evade invade capture’ unit as part of his Level 3 PESS course!

A fantastic lesson with brilliant engagement from the pupils (despite the weather 🌧️ 🌧️ 🌧️)

Easy way to help your child’s football development:

- Grab a ball
- Round up their their mates
- Take them to park
- Sit back
- Let them play

Repeat as much as possible ⚽️

[Foot-Tech Academy @FootTechAcademy]

Fun is a great reason for children to play football.

It’s also a really good way to help them get good at football.

Whether a parent or coach - ask yourself what you’re doing to make sure your players/children have fun?

One of my favorite moments from our (@basketse) Super Clinic was when Joe Boylan (Director of Player Development, Minnesota Timberwolves) was asked about the number of repetitions versus representativeness.
"Rather 30 shots in context than 1000 undefended shots."
