@live4footy@KieranJ_1979@Erushforth1@PlanItCoach Which could be too late as the player who was unmarked is now marked in the time it has taken the player to have turned and beaten his opponent, then been able to perceive the space they have and gather a picture of the pitch and which teammates are free to pass to
@live4footy@KieranJ_1979@Erushforth1@PlanItCoach Yes and it's not beyond a kid to spot an open teammate in an attacking position and pass them the ball providing they are able to perceive this.
@live4footy@KieranJ_1979@Erushforth1@PlanItCoach I haven't decided it's the most important. They could compensate in certain situations yes but not in all. Being positioned facing your own goal with a limited view of the pitch prevents passes from being played forward to exploit spaces left in a defensive system
@live4footy@KieranJ_1979@Erushforth1@PlanItCoach What other ways of compensating would you expect to see?
If these are sub optimal then we can guide players to reach a better decision and technical execution
@live4footy@KieranJ_1979@Erushforth1@PlanItCoach So by default then they aren't going to have learnt a very valuable part of the game, therefore limiting them.
If they don't know what to look for then how are they going to observe it?
@live4footy@KieranJ_1979@Erushforth1@PlanItCoach At points in a session of course not, that'll be over coaching. At points yes as they will not have the underlying knowledge to help. Take for example body position this is something that enables better execution of actions. If it's not taught then players become constrained
@live4footy@KieranJ_1979@Erushforth1@PlanItCoach Just a handful of examples then. Dyson vacuum came from combining a cyclone (observed at a carpenters) with a traditional vacuum. Print presses from taking a process used in wine making. Of course the reason these were invented was to meet a need or they wouldn't have occurred
@live4footy@PlanItCoach Im intrigued, how do you think their roles are any different to a coach now?
Then your dad was in the role of a coach. I'm sure when playing football at school the teacher would have been coaching you likewise when you were at a club.
@live4footy@KieranJ_1979@Erushforth1@PlanItCoach Of course they learn without a coach being present, through practise of what they have learnt. If you are running a training a session for anyone you should be coaching or there would be no point in turning up
@KieranJ_1979@Erushforth1@live4footy@PlanItCoach This is an important point. Away from organised football children aren't playing as much with different kids and learning to apply and adapt what they've learnt
@live4footy@PlanItCoach Pele was coached by his dad and by Waldemar de Brito (ex Brazil international). Best played for Cregagh Boys club. Charlton played school football - the way most were scouted for during the time before academies. Gazza played for Gateshead boys and joined Newcastle at 13
@live4footy@PlanItCoach A human needs some form of guidance to improve, whether this is theoretical or practical is irrelevant as they overlap. If as teachers/coaches we just hope they get it we are failing them. We need to provide opportunities for them to fail and steer them in the right direction
@live4footy@PlanItCoach You've missed my point. We learn through our interactions and corrections from others. This can't be achieved through simply letting kids figure it out for themselves.
To think all of these players would have had as successful as career as they did without coaching is naive
@live4footy@PlanItCoach You learn from those around you who correct you when you say things incorrectly. We constantly adapt and improve through our interactions with others otherwise there would be no point in coaches as the kids would just 'work it out for themselves'
@live4footy@PlanItCoach This goes against everything educationally. Kids aren't just left to work out how to multiply numbers together. They need guidance and teaching, the majority won't just figure it out for themselves or anyone would be allowed to teach them
@live4footy@PlanItCoach So if a child was consistently making a mistake, say in the way that they were kicking the ball they shouldn't be corrected to help them improve?
