5-6 kids….. 3v2, 3v3 maybe. Can we please stop doing this, kids come to play the game not run through your dumb made up drills. 🤦🏻

Author Tim Winton on the disabling constraints imposed by the desire to win, “The need to win drains him of power”.
"Times have changed! we learned to play football by playing; today, however, it is claimed, especially with children, to teach them to play without playing it. We live in a period where the child must learn without playing." - Rivelino
If engaging in ‘play’ is integral to learning and development, surely the impetus for educators is to ensure children are in environments that facilitate play. What reduces potential for play? Adults who assess and rank, and ultimately load play with risk and a fear of failure.

Let the kids be kids and play the game! How did we learn when we were kids? By playing and enjoying the game… ⚽️😁

Winning as THE purpose of competing?! Not according to McKeown: I’ve made it my mission to not be processed around medals or medal tally or anything like that. I’ve come to the Olympics to a) have fun b) do the best that I can c) just enjoy the atmosphere. theguardian.com/sport/article/…
Great research again confirming that time spent in informal play rather than formal training environments is key for learning and expertise development.

Postecoglou: “I want the ball to move slowly.” So players are afforded opportunities to assess and understand their situation, helping them decide their next action. Imagine trying to learn this when most coaches constantly demand high ball speed and cajole players to release!

Great article which again poses the question: Why do we continue to talent ID 6-12 year olds when the evidence indicates no correlation between early selection and later success? Dinamo Zagreb’s Academy is a case in point. 9 of their top 10 transfers joined after the age of 15.

Postecoglou provides a treatise on how we learn to play. 1) Don’t focus on the score: “If you let that guide you you’re never going to be committed to anything.” 2) Don’t focus on the win: “The players get the sugar hit of a win” and “don’t address the way we want to play”.

THOUGHTS ON COACHING - a thread 🧵 Having participated in several 140 character back and forths with coaches, I thought I would post my thoughts on coaching, skill and learning, to get a conversation going, so here goes!
How the Pathway Model is Killing Sport If you're looking for a reason for the problems that sports are experiencing, look no further than the pathway model. The pathway model is something that most sporting systems have embraced around the world. It basically says: let's get…
“My feeling is to get everyone engaged in the team. They have to play regardless of the competition. Do it.” This from a coach working with professional, adult players. How then to justify youth coaches having ‘bench players’ in a development environment?! theguardian.com/football/2023/…
Excellence needs a motive beyond simply winning. If you want your team or player development pathway to be mediocre then “focus on winning” It’s basic sport psych 101, but it takes true leaders to swim against the “winning is everything” culture & skillful co-create more

Gary Lineker on how parents shouting at kids playing sport interferes with how kids develop a love for playing and disrupts their ability to learn: “99.9% of what they say is wrong, damaging their children and instilling fear into them.” podbay.fm/p/dont-tell-me…
Fàbregas: ‘Task of the coach: Teaching players how to change their posture; how to look 2, 3, 4 or 5 times.’ This means eyes OFF the ball. How to learn this in games when failure is not tolerated, and fear of a mistake makes players look ONLY at the ball? theguardian.com/football/2023/…
Learning to be a writer needs time spent with words, reading, listening, writing. Learning to play football needs time spent with the ball, assessing, understanding, deciding, trying. The greatest constraint to this is adults yelling to ‘get rid’, play ‘quicker’ and ‘release’!

Had the privilege to be asked on @abcnews by @davymark1 to discuss why capitalising on the Matilda’s success is not as easy as it seems. At stake is how we value grassroots sport and our concerns for drop out rates of kids from the game. abc.net.au/news/2023-08-2…
