I stopped paying the "spreadsheet tax" today!!!

Of course, I’ve only just started exploring, but here is what’s important first.

Install ChatGPT as an add-in for your desktop version of Excel.

Feed it some random data:

trial balances,
general ledgers,
financial statements etc..

Ask for whatever you need:

bookkeeping audits,
projections,
modeling,
and more.

What I added to the prompt was a very detailed explanation of my expectations.

Specifically, I defined the 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 the model must satisfy and instructed it to insert 𝗜𝗙 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 in separate rows to display "OK" once those equations are met.

If not, I told it to repeat the iterations until it gets an "OK."

After that, I asked it to perform a quality check by assessing the 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆, 𝗰𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 of the projections.

The 3-4-2-1 is one of the most complete systems in modern football.

Compact. Aggressive. Flexible.

But only if you understand the details.

Here’s how it really works 🧵👇🏻

Dennis Bergkamp, one of the most technically gifted players the game has ever produced, and someone who spent years developing young players at Ajax said "The only team that needs to win trophies is the first team. The youth teams don’t need to win, they just need to make their players better."

Read all five points, then ask yourself where does the balance actually sit in your coaching right now? 👇

1️⃣ Bergkamp isn't anti-winning, nobody who played at the level he did and worked within the Ajax system could be. What he's doing is being precise about purpose, the first team's job is to win. That's clear, and nobody disputes it and the youth team's job is to produce players capable of doing that, winning technically, tactically, physically, and mentally, ready for the demands of the level above them.

When those two purposes stay in their right place, everything works. The problems start when the result on a youth team's matchday becomes the only measure of whether the coaching is good, the player's success or level of potential.

2️⃣ It's also worth understanding that this doesn't mean youth football should be consequence-free. Competition matters, learning to win and lose with the right attitude also matters. The pressure of a tight game, the experience of coming from behind, the discipline of performing when it's difficult, these are all part of what development looks like.

Bergkamp isn't saying to remove the competition. He's saying don't let the trophy become the point, there's a significant difference between using competitive situations to develop players and restructuring everything around winning them.

3️⃣ The balance also shifts as players get older, at the foundational phase, development has to be the overwhelming priority. The research, the governing body guidelines, and the experience of coaches at every level all point in the same direction. Children at this age need fun, participation, technical development, and the freedom to make mistakes.

By the time players reach the youth development phase and beyond, the relationship between development and results becomes more nuanced. Winning starts to matter more as players approach the pathway to senior football. The skill is knowing where you are on that journey and adjusting accordingly.

4️⃣ What Bergkamp's quote really challenges is the coaching ego that attaches itself to results regardless of age group.

The under 9 coach who plays their strongest players all game because losing feels like a personal failure. The under 11 coach who abandons the development philosophy the moment a cup run becomes possible. The academy coach who selects for the fixture rather than the individual because the result matters for their reputation.

None of these decisions are always wrong, context always matters but when they become habits rather than considered choices, that's where development gets quietly sacrificed for something that benefits the adult more than the child.

5️⃣ Ajax built one of the most admired development systems in world football not by ignoring results but by being absolutely clear about what youth football was for.

Players developed within a consistent philosophy, a coherent style, and an environment where making them better was the daily measure of success. Some of those players won things along the way but that was a by-product of good development, not the purpose of it.

The question Bergkamp's quote leaves every youth coach with isn't whether winning matters, it does. It's whether the decisions you make on a Tuesday evening in training and on a Saturday morning in a game are genuinely driven by what makes the player better, or whether something else has quietly crept in?

I had an insightful conversation with @AFC_2025.

FIFA has now expanded the #U17WC to every year for both boys and girls. Beyond that, do you know each Member Association can apply for a 5‑year development program—with implementation support—to prepare for U17WC qualifiers? #FIFATalentAcademy

Tottenham Hotspur training this morning. Lots of people asking about the practice from Roberto De Zerbi today, so here it is. The first place you'll find this animated to explain, before other pages see it then make it also.

Three zones. Five v two running in the active end zones. Split by a central zone. Out of possession, the pressers in the central zone can press wide players or look to intercept direct transfers.

Focus on patience in possession. Move it, wait, then find the right moment to turn and progress, either wide or straight through.

Before recognition, there are setbacks.
Missed opportunities.
Limited resources.
Moments where talent is not enough.
This is where many journeys fall away.
Not because the potential is not there, but because the system is not.
Struggle is part of the journey.
But without structure and support, it becomes a barrier.
Talent does not fail on its own. It fails when it is not developed.
That is why development cannot be left to chance.

FC Barcelona U14 Rondo 🔵🔴 Exceptional Variation

Receiving on the back foot and accelerating away from pressure after a set number of passes. A clever twist on the traditional rondo that adds dribbling, decision making and recovery runs.

🔲 1 rondo grid 8x8 Yards
🥅 4 mini goals
📏 Scoring lines marked 9 yards Distance
👥 2 players pressing
🔁 6 passes to unlock an attack
🔄 If pressers win it they transition and score

This is what real creativity in practice design looks like.

I really enjoyed watching this interview with Coach José Riveiro about his new role with AIK.

His level of authenticity and consistency, which I have observed from an outside perspective, has always been something I have admired throughout his journey. Something that was particularly interesting for me, was the conversation with Jeremy Steele (formerly @AnalyticsFC ), who outlined the recruitment process of hiring coach José.

In my opinion, this conversation could potentially benefit African coaches who are looking to break the glass ceiling of moving from Africa to Europe - as it gives a clear guideline of what the KPI's could look like.

My key take-aways:
- A Winning history.
- Developing the club profile (competing on the continent - Champions League).
- Winning with an attractive style of play (data confirmed).
- Finally and most importantly, in my opinion, clubs are looking for a coach who improves players, especially young players (this will be shown in National Team call ups, player sales, debut's to young players while still maintaining winning results etc..).

"It always seems impossible, until it's done." - Nelson Mandela)
