Let's Go!!! Super excited. Delighted to have a published paper on reconceptualising Game Models in Football (Soccer).

Excited by the potential implications for future research, coach education, and football practice design and how coaches may bring adaptive Game Models to life

The paper explores how Game Models may be viewed less as predefined patterns of play and coach-led directives, and more as dynamic, adaptive, principle-based frameworks that support player behaviours within the continuous flow of the game.

Rather than rehearsing fixed patterns, practice design may challenge players to perceive information, solve problems, and adapt within representative and fluid game environments, with tactical principles acting as 𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍 𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒉𝒐𝒓𝒔 that guide behaviour in evolving contexts.

🚀 ⚽ Excited to share that our paper has been accepted for publication in the Applied Football Science in Coaching and Performance Special Issue of the International Journal of Performance Analysis in Sport.

𝑮𝒂𝒎𝒆 𝑴𝒐𝒅𝒆𝒍𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝑭𝒐𝒐𝒕𝒃𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝑪𝒐𝒂𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈: 𝑨𝒏 𝑬𝒄𝒐𝒍𝒐𝒈𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒍 𝑫𝒚𝒏𝒂𝒎𝒊𝒄𝒔 𝑷𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆

This paper explores Game Models through an ecological dynamics perspective and its implications for football coaching and performance.

A huge thank you to my co-authors, mentors, and supervisors Professor Keith Davids, Dr. Joe Stone and Professor Alliance Kubayi for their support and guidance throughout the process.

I would also like to acknowledge the reviewers and editorial team. The review process was a really valuable learning experience and strengthened the manuscript considerably, helping refine both its conceptual and practical contribution.

Proud to see another piece of work contributing to my wider PhD journey around skill acquisition, feedback, learning design, and football coaching.

Looking forward to sharing more once it is officially published.
