“I don't believe in over-coaching kids, I don't tell them what to do but rather I prefer to give them the freedom to unleash their own creativity, with the aim of keeping them in sport for life” Yep, that’s me 🙌 https://t.co/NoGRcArT1V
@KaptinYap Actually think it’s a great idea hey, buying a house is my super, so def can relate and only need 20 or 30k deposit rather than 80 which would never happen, Brill
Merry Christmas to the OG Twittersphere. My gift is from my hero the Professor Of Play Dr Peter Gray, Pls keep open to change 🎄 https://t.co/isnS1qiVks
@Craig_Foster@TheMatildas So sick of the avg Aussie bloke judging if a games any good by a win or a loss. Thank god for u Foz, those games just proved how exciting Womens Sport is. Happy for the Matilda’s to lose a few if we lose a few losers with it 😩
For those who have ears -Let Them Hear. This is the best Reference I’ve come across to apply to ALL Sports and Countries. Talent ID means you’re not selecting Talent, you’re De-selecting them. 🤔 True TD means nurturing All Talent i.e Every Kid through Multi-Life experiences
The motto of “as many as possible for as long as possible” during childhood seems to be the approach that leads to optimal use of resources while having the potential to promote both long-term development and future world-class performance. ⚽️🌱👇🏼

@RTrbojevich@Gatty54 Thankyou for sharing Rebecca, the Perfect choice, if anyone knew Polks and the history of Qlders in the Tillies they were-are mad League Fans and carry that Qlder Champion spirit. Even without a win, it was the perfect sendoff game, whingers stay out of it pls.
I Love this Game already for a Polks final game. Classic rival exciting game with Brazil and showing our own joga bonito. Halftime 1-2 Game On 💚💛 #ThankYouPolks
"The public image of Clare Polkinghorne is exactly why you get kids into sport when they're 5,6,7,8 years of age. An extraordinary human being."
Some thoughts on "Polks" from the 10 Football team.

If only we explored more of this in life:
“In continual flux, novelty and variability are the rule not the exception’
Embracing Complexity rather than acting like you can Control it is a great place to start 👌Maybe then we’ll see more Creativity and Patience for one another?
Great to have Elin one of our master students and great swimming coach present her bachelor exam from last year to the students on our skill learning course.
Movements cannot be repeated the same way in every situation....Novelty and variability are the rule, not the exception
Saying farewell to a legend 👏
Popp, it’s been a pleasure to play you over the years and to be involved in your final game for your country. Wishing you all the best in your retirement! 🇦🇺❤️🇩🇪

"Times have changed! we learned to play football by playing; today, however, it is claimed, especially with children, to teach them to play without playing it. We live in a period where the child must learn without playing." - Rivelino
