The WHY (the focus) WHAT (the method) and the HOW (the guidelines) of how we programme our small sided games/conditioning and speed sessions.

Adapted from the great work of @Fergus_Connolly and @Physical_Prep as well as my own experiences coaching in GAA.

I have heard the phrase “ be comfortable with being uncomfortable” quite a lot recently. It’s almost become a catchphrase for modern coaching. I wanted to do a thread about this; it's not always helpful to have this approach 🧵👇

What decisions go into speed profiling?

How can you split guys into buckets to better individualise their training prescription?

I would say the best way is to be informed by both your coaching 👁 & what the 📊 says

If you want to perform better, you've got to try harder. That's a central tenants of western culture.

If you're stuck, the problem must be a lack of grind, motivation to push forward, or caring.

However, trying harder is often the problem. We need to let go to move forward:

Great thread on comparing planning to playing poker.

[Rhys Ingram @RhysIngram]

Planning & periodisation are like playing a game of poker...

After a recent periodisation call with some EIS colleagues & @trainalytics i've had this idea running around my head...

[Rich Clarke @RICH_AgilityLab]

Strength training technical models…

Thinking like an S&C coach, not an exercise instructor for strength sports

A lesson 👇

That’s how you win a turnover 😳😳

✅ Da igual el Deporte 🤾🚴‍♂️🏊.
✅ Da igual la instalación 🏟️.
✅ Da igual el Material 🏀🏈⚾🏐.
✅ Da igual el sexo 🚸.
✅ Da igual el presupuesto 💰.

🏗️ La COORDINACIÓN es la base.
🧠 Variedad de estímulos.
💡 Que cada sesión sea diferente.
