"Your best player isn't always your hardest worker."

I think that's false in the youth game.

Your best youth player is usually everywhere, wanting to be involved in everything. Maybe too much.

Agree?

When you coach midfielders, don't judge success only by passes completed. Look at whether they moved opponents and helped the team progress.

Combinations don’t click by accident. They have to be built deliberately.

1v1 pressure. Attacking combinations. Triangle play. Small sided game.

I can't remember where I first saw this, but I first saw it a few years ago, and it really made me think.
What do others think?
Do we appreciate this?
Is our coaching appropriate for the age of the players you work with and their needs and wants?
@SundayShare10

This will probably upset a few people this evening!

@scottmowberry has some VERY direct thoughts on how coaches should behave

Being available isn’t the same as being useful. A player standing still in a passing lane is a target, not support. Real support is about angle and distance. This graphic covers it from both sides, creating angles and cutting them.

A few simple games to help players attack and defend at speed.

React quickly to turnovers
Combine centrally and wide
Recovery runs
Retaining possession and fast counter attacks

From Super Six Volume One

Football Starts at Home is all about getting an early start and building the foundations for a child’s football journey. Unfortunately, people still don't fully appreciate just how important that foundation is.

In football-cultured countries, children often develop a head start at home, in the playground and through informal play long before they enter organised football. That is one of the biggest differences when comparing football development across countries.

You can bring in the best European or South American coaches, but if the players have no basic foundation, how much can they really benefit from that coaching? The coach ends up spending valuable time teaching fundamental skills rather than developing players further. That's why we constantly see long lines, cones and repetitive drills just to teach the basics.

The reality is that development doesn't start when a child joins a club or academy. It starts much earlier, at home. You cannot build a great footballer on a foundation that was never laid.

Final Third: Attack the 1st CB's Blind Spot

As a #9, the key space where I'm dangerous is behind the first center back.

When the ball possessor has time and space, I need to attack that space with a run in behind to receive the ball and be in a good position to finish.

As a younger coach, I was too quick to see a mistake and immediately try to fix it.

Now I try to:

WATCH.
UNDERSTAND.
THEN INTERVENE.

Before coaching the problem, make sure you understand why it happened.

Observe first. Coach second.

Good luck to everyone involved in games today. Important to remember, it’s not the Champions League final.

Let the children play, make mistakes and try things without a running commentary from the touchline. Encourage them, respect the referee and keep the game in perspective.

Things to consider when looking at rest defense

- How do we secure the second ball
- How do we deny outlets
- How do we defend the space in behind

What is the difference between a coaching brain and a playing brain?
