@DanAbrahams77 You need to pick your audience for that type of discussion - possibly not a whole group broadcast…

Two-thirds of academic writing is thinking of a synonym for "however." The other half is debating whether a semi-colon is pretentious enough for that sentence.

Entertaining game. LCFC in big trouble. Difficult to reconcile some of the wage bill with the quality/ performances on show

Analysis of youth development systems across Europe revealed – unsurprisingly - that most top talent (players valued over £12m) progressed through the nation’s main academies at some point.

However, the final column in the table highlights that most of these players did not start in these academies from the youngest age groups. In fact, the trend is for a wide base of talent to be nurtured in local or partner clubs before they begin to move into a ‘best with best’ environment at the 12-16 stage.

These findings suggest that, in the UK, academies either recruit too early or ‘grassroots’ doesn’t have the infrastructure and expertise to develop talent like these European nations? 🤔

In thinking about assessing coaching, coach learning and any intervention - if both the independent and dependent variables are based on self-reports by the same person we have learned absolutely nothing about coaching.

Fab thread - another idea misinterpreted as a pedagogical device…

Vygotsky's 'Zone of Proximal Development' is perhaps the most misunderstood idea in education. It was never a teaching method but a metaphor for how teaching can pull thinking upward, from the everyday to the scientific. ⬇️ 🧵
