Love your work @MarkHoward03 getting the king @JamieDwyer01 on your pod!

@DavidGuest12 @FIH_Hockey How about Dyl Martin's 'yellow' from yesterday's game.... 🤦🏼‍♂️

@jamiecox1969 9yr old and 7yr old sons have gone cricket mad. In the nets most days and driveway cricket every day. All that want to do is play ramps and reverse sweeps like BBL. I'm old school and trying to get them with their elbow up, head over the ball and playing the ball on its merits.

@FowerakerE I'm in Aus and never heard of shuffles?? I training scenarios of similar numbers I either give the winner of the PC an opportunity to take a stroke or play a 1v1 against the keeper.

@H1League @Kookaburras @CanberraChillH1 @FOXSportsAUS @kayosports Looked to me like he rolled his wrists and took it clean with the flat side of the stick. Cracking save!!

[Andrew Smith OLY @andrew_smith17]

@H1League @kayosports Hopefully missed opportunities don't prove costly for @HCMelbourneH1. Thundersticks pressing well. Josie Lawton impressive down back dealing with the pressure.

@HoreBrad Yep! Looks sick 🔥

[Andrew Smith OLY @andrew_smith17]

@adamcommens Good thread here Commo! Will be interested to read about the Kookas '04 vs Belgium '21 differences as well.

@PethRich Is it a good life over there mate? You guys still get to have good family adventures? Good working environment?

[Andrew Smith OLY @andrew_smith17]

@codyroyle Agreed, would also add that YouTube doesn't provide the coach with the knowledge and capacity to be able to break down the execution of a skill, identify faults and provide succinct intervention that improves performance.

[Andrew Smith OLY @andrew_smith17]

@cricketcomau Is it on free to air TV at all?

[Andrew Smith OLY @andrew_smith17]

@PethRich Thanks for putting this out there mate. Enjoyed the read. Im at a new school and working at the Yr 9 Campus which is 300 boys all aged around 14-15yrs old. Lots happening physically and emotionally. Keen to try and implement some of this stuff.

[Andrew Smith OLY @andrew_smith17]

@JPR_25 @The_CoachingLab Aus player?

[Andrew Smith OLY @andrew_smith17]

@JPR_25 Finding the balance between when to 'talk and teach' and when to stay quiet and let the players work through the problem to find their own solution. Constraints applied to the small games need to be able to elicit the desired learning outcome.

[Andrew Smith OLY @andrew_smith17]

@AdamKorsak Looks like you're dominating over there mate. Nice work! Enjoying seeing the Adam Korsak highlight reals 👍

[Andrew Smith OLY @andrew_smith17]

@cpola17 Hi Christina, you should try and spend some time with @Staciajoseph the VIS women's hockey coach. Doing great things in culture, building community and self worth as well as elite skill development. Cares lots and sets high standards. The players love her!

[Andrew Smith OLY @andrew_smith17]

@HoreBrad Option B for me! 👌

[Andrew Smith OLY @andrew_smith17]

@MrHairPhysEd @cpola17 It's a bit of a drive from Leopold PS but I've used Eumeralla Scout Camp in Anglesea for preseason camps. Great trails for running/mountain biking, beach nearby for swimming + beach/team building activities, footy oval and an awesome bakery!
