@amandawileman2 Had a memory pop up today about that RTC side from 3 years ago. Had to check how the little un was doing. Great to see she is still smashing it. You and Josh should be so proud of the journey so far 👏👏👏

Want to know how to build something extraordinary that lasts 22 years? Arsène Wenger transformed Arsenal from "boring Arsenal" to "The Invincibles."

Here's what he learned about leadership along the way 🧵

Peyton Manning on Leadership.

"It is not just about you…the best teams I played on, the best players practiced the hardest."

Winning FOR each other is contagious.

It is what being a great TEAMMATE is all about.

🧵Benefits of being silent as a youth coach during game day:

- Other approaches are available to utilise 😀

https://t.co/kjiQF3wmlh

1⃣ Empowerment: Remaining silent during youth games empowers players to take ownership of their decisions and actions on the field. It allows them to solve problems independently and learn from their mistakes.

2⃣ Player Development: Silence allows young athletes to develop their decision-making abilities. They learn to read the game, make choices, and adapt to different situations without constant instruction.

3⃣ Confidence Building: When coaches remain silent, players gain confidence in their abilities. They learn to trust themselves, knowing that their coach believes in their skills and judgment.

4⃣ Reduced Pressure: Excessive shouting and instructions from the sidelines can put undue pressure on youth players. Silence creates a more relaxed atmosphere, fostering better performance and enjoyment.

5⃣ Improved Communication: Players become more reliant on communication with their teammates when the coach isn't constantly providing directions. This enhances their on-field communication skills, an essential aspect of team sports.

6⃣ Focus on Fun: Youth sports should primarily be about fun and enjoyment. Silence allows players to focus on having fun, developing a love for the game, and building positive memories.

7⃣ Learning from Mistakes: Mistakes are part of the learning process. When coaches don't intervene with constant feedback, players have the opportunity to make mistakes, learn from them, and grow.

8⃣ Resilience: Silence encourages players to develop resilience. They learn to handle adversity, bounce back from setbacks, and stay composed under pressure, valuable life skills.

9⃣ Parent and Coach Role Clarification: Silence during games can help clarify the roles of parents and coaches. Parents can enjoy watching their children play without feeling the need to provide coaching instructions from the sidelines.

1⃣0⃣ Positive Sports Environment: A silent coach contributes to a positive sports environment where young athletes feel supported and encouraged rather than pressured or scrutinised.

@bodenknights Can’t have the billionaire bottlejobs struggle against the northern lads now can we @premierleague

Disgraceful, every week

[Chris Boden @bodenknights]

So that ‘contact’ makes the lad throw his arms up and his right leg buckle? Give me a break. It’s cheating, but it gets rewarded every week in the PL

Dear Youth Coach...

Consider catching your athletes doing something well at training.

Detail it. Applaud it. Reinforce it.
