[The Sporting Resource @TheS_Resource]

Tony Pulis spent almost a year filming a documentary series for Sky Sports called "Chasing the Dream," investigating the academy system in English football. What he found should concern every coach and parent involved in youth football.

91% of young players in academies never play a professional game, but it's what happens to them after they're released that he thinks needs urgent attention.

I've broken down his key points in the comments 👇

🧵 The Anti-Rondo Thread

Rondos are everywhere.

But overusing them (or using them wrong) can quietly limit your players.

Here are 3 common problems coaches face when rondos are overused ...and 3 practical solutions to evolve them. 👇

It’s a part of mental strength but the idea of mental strength pales into insignificance as compared to its influence…

It’s the most important mental skill in sport (and in the workplace)…touching every second of every day…influencing every intrapersonal and interpersonal moment…helping you engage in mastery and mindset.

Attention!

In sport, an ambitious competitor must work towards paying attention every second and with every action. Focused and connected to the game at all times - picking up the cues from the performance environment around them - to make optimal decisions and to execute actions (technical and tactical) with precision.

Attention!

In the workplace, an ambitious individual must strive to pay attention every second during performance moments to optimise those moments. Attention acts as a relay station for the ability to take control internally and externally. To manage impulses from within and to communicate, coordinate, and cooperate in the outside world.

Attention!

In both sport and workplace settings, attention heavily influences mastery as well as mindset.

Mastery - to learn, to improve, to develop, to grow.

To master mastery is to direct attention - to uncover strengths to exploit and to examine the intricacies of weakness that hold you back. Attention lies at the heart of self-regulated learning - sure, we often learn implicitly, without thought - but explicit learning is key to mastery. To deliberately and purposefully reflect in-action and on-action. To consider skills as you’re performing those skills (and after you’ve performed them).

Attention - the guv’nor of mastery and mindset!

“Dig in and be a basketball player…”

Rick Pitino is the legendary coach of St John’s men’s basketball team (and the Greek National team). Here he is giving his players a rollicking after a less than satisfactory performance (please excuse the swearing).

Like every coach at the adult level of sport, Pitino wants his players to be mentally tough or mentally strong. Every week, the world over, across every sport, coaches are giving these types of speeches to drive home the message that players must respond in a positive way, with speed, to every given situation…especially at times of adversity.

But if players know they have to do this, and if they risk getting shouted at or dropped from the team…why do they continue to give into adversity?

I’d suggest the answer is two-fold…and is relevant to the workplace as it is the court, the course, and the pitch.

1. Players don’t have dynamic enough objectives
2. Players either don’t have mental techniques to play mentally skilful and/or they don’t put enough effort in daily to compete with these skills in mind

Let me break this down briefly (bear in mind this is the topic of my next book which is 60,000 words…

1. Players have hierarchical goals when they compete. Those goals tend to be “want to win” and “want to perform at my best”. Players constantly interpret their situation as they compete with relation to their goals. When errors occur and players interpret that they may not reach their goals avoidance behaviour can set-in. Thus, players need to include game-day goals that are more task oriented and put these tasks as primary goals (so their interpretations can align with these tasks)

2. Players may have some mental techniques (eg attentional cues, self-talk etc) but they mostly fail to take them seriously enough. Again, a hierarchical problem. They need to put these techniques on a pedestal and practice them in every activity in every session - and align them with their task goals going into a game.

The above are two of many reasons why it’s important for coaches to help players create individual-specific mental frameworks and team-oriented mental frameworks for shared mental models…
