@_ToddBeane @CBSSportsGolazo Conscious bias. Most coaches will teach what they see on TV from games, instead of challenging the norm. Same reason there was a flip from traditional wingers to inverted.

🔴⚪️ URGENT HELP NEEDED: My uncle Paul is a lifelong #SAFC fan currently in palliative care with Stage 4 cancer. Trying to get him to a game at the Stadium of Light. Coordinating from the USA. Can anyone at the club help? @SunderlandAFC @RedAndWhite2017 @RokerReport @FansMuseum

A really honest and vulnerable moment from the #UCLToday crew to open today's show 🥹❤️

[Alex Edwards @CoachEdwards0]

Creating clearer pictures for players, in simple yet effective ways which reflects what is happening within the game, and moment.

This moment led to a goal with prior information 2-mins earlier being successfully executed.

@memphisunited @kieronbutton17 @TheS_Resource That’s usually the most space we have on a regular basis, certainly shows and reflects on game day

[Alex Edwards @CoachEdwards0]

Training coming to the surface, finding the furthest option forward, out of pressure after a win of possession. Supporting movement, ahead of the ball, and attacking spaces behind the opponents last line!

🗣️”Corner to Arsenal”

Arsenal’s players:

[Alex Edwards @CoachEdwards0]

Constantly in search of way to make words, become visual, for visuals to become actions. Put some focus on how defending in ‘Zones’ especially when you’re looking into game management or protecting a lead can be fruitful! ⚽️

@JPOwens2006 Can you DM me so I can send. Don’t want to share my email publicly.

Imo, the game, whatever you call it, football/soccer/futbol has been obsessed with the creation of BPCB, Inverted FBs, CDMs that we have lost the striker, the forward, the finisher.

As a kid, I was obsessed with recreating goals from MOTD, and during the game, where is that now?

[Alex Edwards @CoachEdwards0]

@ActiveKidsConsu @albinsheqiri Ok so you never peer reviewed it yourself?

[Alex Edwards @CoachEdwards0]

@Paulmcg8 Even more important I feel at youth level creating more 9s, and particularly goal-scorers (from my experience in the US so far).

[Alex Edwards @CoachEdwards0]

@ActiveKidsConsu @albinsheqiri Do you have the research paper, link?

[Alex Edwards @CoachEdwards0]

@DeanFlexton @albinsheqiri Can you provide your opinion on this, through the CDE lens?

[Alex Edwards @CoachEdwards0]

@ActiveKidsConsu @albinsheqiri Do you want to provide said research?

[Alex Edwards @CoachEdwards0]

Game is gone, if that isn’t a penalty… #ARSNFO

[Alex Edwards @CoachEdwards0]

A continued approach to individual player actions, and how that shapes our team principles we believe to be true, keep coming to fruition and the more this is encouraged the more it looks like the game.

[Alex Edwards @CoachEdwards0]

@rangersfan8448 Ever looked to lob side your shape, push 2/3 wide, and 7/11 inside. Build principles of play based on who tries to occupy the space.

This creates a back 3. Let me know if that’s what you’re thinking.

[Alex Edwards @CoachEdwards0]

@Leecosgrove10 Had the same conversation with a parent on one of my teams yesterday too. My opinion is that formations are references to what we can/do out of possession.

[Alex Edwards @CoachEdwards0]

@rangersfan8448 How are the opposition usually defending against you, in this situation?
