The irony is people would not pay $20 for a plate of noodles that is called spaghetti or a plate of sauce that is called spaghetti, but they pay $10,000 per year for something that looks like soccer but is not.

[ASET Soccer @ASETSoccer]

The ingredients of spaghetti are:
-noodles
-pasta sauce

There are variations of spaghetti; red sauce, white sauce, meatballs, no meatballs, etc. If you order spaghetti, the expectation is noodles and sauce.

[ASET Soccer @ASETSoccer]

If a club or coach promotes soccer training, by definition all the ingredients must but present.

[ASET Soccer @ASETSoccer]

The reality is coaches define a soccer action differently and thus design training situations based on their own subjective starting point.

[ASET Soccer @ASETSoccer]

How is it coaches within the same club cannot define a soccer action the same way? Aren't they all coaching the same game and all wanting to help to improve the soccer actions of their players?

[ASET Soccer @ASETSoccer]

Wouldn't it be helpful for all coaches within a club (and worldwide for that matter) to have the same definition and starting point. That would enable all coaches to try and improve the same thing.

[ASET Soccer @ASETSoccer]

It is then the players' responsibility to communicate with the best available team intention and contribute to that team intention in the best available way. The coach simply guides this process through situation coaching and situational coaching.

[ASET Soccer @ASETSoccer]

If a club had a philosophical starting point, all coaches in the club would download the same team intentions and individual intentions to their players. This would alleviate confusion as players progress from team to team and coach to coach within the same club.

[ASET Soccer @ASETSoccer]

Game models, at youth level, force players to follow instructions rather than the coaches in the club downloading the same team intentions and individual intentions into the brains of players.

[ASET Soccer @ASETSoccer]

@coachryanjones Yes, any coach serious about improving his thinking should purchase every book written by Raymond and enroll on any course delivered by @raymondverheije

[ASET Soccer @ASETSoccer]

With more youth players involved in soccer than ever, very few are able to answer a simple question, "if you have the ball, what is the best way for you to contribute to the team (independent of opponent or game situation)?"

[ASET Soccer @ASETSoccer]

If you want to get better at soccer, play soccer with all the ingredients present.

Otherwise, coaches are training something that looks like soccer but is not soccer. There are exceptions to the rule, removing one of the ingredients is the exception and not the rule.

[ASET Soccer @ASETSoccer]

It is that time of year where some players start their high school seasons. Unfortunately, training resembles more like cross country than soccer. Condolances to those players because of lack of a knowledgeable coach with objective, reliable references.

[ASET Soccer @ASETSoccer]

This may not be possible given the game situation, but if possible, this is the best contribution to the team. 

Unfortunately, coaches do not have this reference stored in their brain so it is only logical that players will not either.

[ASET Soccer @ASETSoccer]

The reason players lack the objective answer to this question is because coaches do not teach their players based on objective, universal references. 

The best contribution to the team if the ball is at your foot is to score.
