Changes of speed / rhythm - gaining advantage by controlling “Flow” on and off the ball are tactics to “outwit” your opponent - coaches can ‘Educate their player’s attention’ to these subtle cunning tactics to increase player’s effectiveness & enjoyment for a lifetime 🔥⚽️
Consider keeping perception & action in tact.
“…task simplification should not be used to the point where the practice of the movement becomes unrepresentative of how it would be performed under actual performance contexts.”

"Are you going to let the little things slide or are you going to go do that extra little work to be great? Do you want to be great? Every day - be great. It’s not comparing yourself to anyone else, but maximizing what you are." -Andy Reid
Luis Enrique message to the coaches of the academies: ¨Concern about the development, not the results. All children should play in all positions.
Prioritize the development of the child, not your own coaching career.¨😍

"Your mistakes don't lose you games. Your response to mistakes, lose you games. We don't want reactions; we want responses."
In sports and in life, your response-ability is your responsibility. Don't react (that's emotion) to mistakes. Respond (take action) to mistakes.
No one is 'built different', but some have used discipline, effort, & sacrifice to make themselves different.
You want to be different:
"get up earlier, stay later, ask questions, be a good person, care about others, stay humble, & work harder when no one's around" @LewisCaralla
Never forget the late developers
Who may take a little longer to flourish
Who may be a little smaller & quieter at certain ages
Who has to try a bit harder than others
But is a great listener
And never misses training
And loves being there
Never forget the late developers
This is so good and needs to be heard by so many people
“We are trying to skip the step of adversity, you can never skip that in life.”
Those that didn’t have to grind to reach success have a tough time dealing w/ hardship
(Via @MichaelWBratton 🎥)
My goal is that when they leave here, they're able to hold themselves to that standard of excellence and not settle for less than what they're capable of.
That lives on forever because wherever they go in life, they can help others get there too.
Kara Lawson on standards:
'Do 3 dollars work for a 2 dollar job'
"This thing about grit is real. It is about competing. It is about pushing yourself. It is about striving to be at your best. Nobody else controls this but you. You have an opportunity to create your own value. Let's get a little gritty."
"What are your habits when things get tough? We practice to create habits that will make us successful in the most difficult situations."
Make daily deposits in practice of effort, fortitude, & execution. Then, during the game, you're ready to make a 'withdrawal' when it counts.
5 REGRETS Players can Have:
▪️Not putting in the time
▪️Thinking the Grass is Greener elsewhere
▪️Not buying into TEAM
▪️Not accepting their ROLE
▪️Thinking coaches were out to get them
Don’t live with regret.
Do the work -> Appreciate your team ->
Accept your role.

Wins don't come on game day. Wins are created in practice with your daily habits & efforts. You don't find success-you earn it.
@jeff_paulus @AlbertaSoccer @CanadaSoccerEN We use pass in and dribble in (players choice) for all internal programs. Can’t use it outside as it’s not league rules. I’ve found games are quicker, players always switched on to the opportunity on the restart and just more fun.
@jeff_paulus @AlbertaSoccer @CanadaSoccerEN 100% agree. I’m a huge fan of pass in or dribble in. Gives players a choice (cognitive) and allows more technical opportunity to grow.
