Where are we now? the moment you know you know, you know.
Standardisation-homogenisation silently shaping even our ‘best’ intentions-limiting the conditions for creativity. Designing meaningful practice contexts.

New: From creativity to creating

https://t.co/lDKe7t8tEg

In this chapter, I argue for a shift from a logic fixated upon outcomes and the innovative ideas purported to precede them, to one that appreciates processes that are always unfolding - moving from creativity, to creating

Got a chapter in the new Ecological Dynamics Approach to Football book. It certainly looks like a great collection of articles for curious coaches, students and researchers.

New: On response-ability in a time of ecological collapse

In this comment, John, Rob and I build on our earlier piece by integrating an ethic of response-ability with ecological theorising. The ambition being to help educate attention in ecocentric ways.

As the song goes - "Market driven governance in youth football will tear us apart again".
Double ignorance: knowing less and less about what matters most

@nasthe3rd Sometimes I wonder if what we don’t say is more impactful than what we do. And yes, perhaps more difficult to master….

@markstkhlm Has the North Macedonia one sold out?

[Big Picture Soccer @bigpicsoccer]

Why does the topic of isolated technical training evoke such strong reactions when critically examined?

There are two parts to the equation, in my opinion. It has to do with the role of the coach, and implicates their personal history (status in society, career, wages etc)

Article written together with Matías Manna (Argentina national team ass. coach/analyst) and Keith Davids. Can we redefine the role traditionally known as video analyst or coach-analyst? Toward a more holistic, relational and culturally situated identity?
