Latest paper reviews “formats” of played-form practice in soccer, displayed in a continuum from simpler to more complex configurations. An ideal framework for custom practice design. Very happy it came through on @SAGEPublishers https://t.co/dyuuyioo4h
Played-form practice depicted in design ingredients and theories of psychology. https://t.co/BIYuoAuRVo Happy to be amongst the firsts to publish at @sciencedirect Football studies, led by leading researcher Filipe Clemente.
“The Guardiola era has caused a bit of confusion. Everyone wants to play like that now. They tell 6/7 year olds to play with 2 touches, quickly. At that age, what happened with me needs to happen for these kids… we shouldn’t take away their spontaneity.”
"Sport pedagogy in played-form practice in soccer: the articulation between contents and contexts" was published in @SportsCoachingR with co-authors from Brazil and Portugal, and @JiaYiChow1 https://t.co/mFg2uwjRig

Training 6v4 into 4v3 attacking
Blue plays in a 6v4 on the left side, they look to complete 5 passes before playing into their final 3rd (bottom of the picture). When the ball enters this area 3 blues join and 1 orange to create a 4v3 in favor of the attackers
Juego muy interesante. A ver quién coge tres conos y gana.
Percepción 👀, estrategia y táctica 🧠: ataque/defensa, velocidad, detectar acciones claves para ganar o perder…
Variante: me gusta hacerlo con balones ⚽️🏀, bien conduciendo con el pie o bien botando con la mano 😉👍🏻
FLUID CHESS
When you see football as fluid chess, you will prioritize vision and precision. You will seek out and reward intelligent athletes.
In fact, creative footballers will find you as so few coaches value brains over brawn. Build it and they will come. #TOVO
AN HONEST CHALLENGE
Most youth coaches have no background in the science of learning or child development.
Coaching is fundamentally about how children best learn and develop.
Our sport knowledge is not nearly enough to be effective educators. #TOVO
PARENTS
Please do not chase winning teams thinking you are serving your child best.
If your child is in a challenging and supportive environment where the coach promotes learning and joy, dig in and celebrate. #TOVO
