Football is not really about winning, or goals, or saves, or supporters - it's about glory. It's about doing things in style, doing them with a flourish.

@3four3 It's their best performance ever and it's not close. God it feels good to not be let down.

@bkfhorns @11Yanks Something Poc will never do, but play 3-5-2 and bench Pulisic while playing Reyna at the 10. Bunker, counter, find Reyna and dump as many through balls behind as humanly possible

@TaylorLewan77 Brother... I have it too. It's horrible. When you're having a flare the only thing that chills it out is a steroid shot and torradol and then a run of Prednisone. After that it's all diet and allopurinol. No alcohol, sugar, fatty foods. It's a genetic thing :(

This thread will make your day.

1. 23-year-old Tiago Rech was the only fan at his team's stadium in a game in 2012. In 2014 he became the club president and in 2020 they've won the FGF cup and classified for Copa do Brasil for the first time in the history of the club.

“I’d like you all to pick a couple of action-based words. I’ll give you some examples: alert, alive, relentless, dominant, focused, positive, energetic, upbeat…

…I’d like you to pick two action words. And I’d like to see you play in the style of these words. Non-stop! No matter what!”

The coaches know what they’re doing. They’re trying to help their players experience what scientists call ‘approach behaviour’. And they’re trying to help players recognise when they’re experiencing something scientists call ‘behavioural inhibition’

Approach behaviour
Behavioural inhibition

Approach behaviour can be described as energy forward. In sports terms it could be considered the positive execution of actions. Picture players playing proactively…with purpose.

Behavioural inhibition can be described as energy back. In sports terms it could be considered the execution of actions in a hesitant and uncertain way.

And so…

…our coaches want their players to use a small-sided game to experience approach behaviour. The choosing of action-based words for players to enact and embody can help them experience the sensation of approach behaviour…

“Ok, so you’re gonna be UPBEAT & RELENTLESS. Show this to me…every action, every motion, every movement. If you feel yourself dropping away from UPBEAT & RELENTLESS I’d like you to return to them”

And now the coaches can use their session design to test the players’ ability to stick to their words. They can increase the difficulty of the activity (this is called ‘task difficulty’). They can add a consequence for some sort of failure (this is called ‘contextual interference’).

Perhaps most importantly, the coaches can use their voice to encourage players to stick to their action words. By doing so they help players become accustomed to the sensory experience related to the embodiment of the words.

And…and…

…they can ask the players in the team themselves to help each other stick to their words. This builds leadership and teamwork.

Players training mentally…as they train technically, tactically, and physically.
