From the moment you win the ball back
When you’re in front of goal
When you’ve beaten a player in a 1v1 and need to find a next pass
From fire 🔥 to ice cold ❄️

The core under pining principles how how I want my teams to play
No matter the level
How they’re applied and how it looks will look different depending on the team and situation
But these never do

My first intervention from my session Tuesday.
Muted audio for obvious reasons but from my development point of view the fact it lasted less than 30 seconds is really pleasing.
Worked hard to get rid of the waffle!

Lovely build up and diving head for England U21’s.
🔵 Creating 2v1’s in wide area
🔵 Early cross into 6 yard box with whip
🔵 Striker making near post run off the back of the defender (be a ghost - disappear then reappear)
🔵 desire to get on the end of the cross

Rewatching the highlights from the England game last night as watched the game on a train with patchy internet.
Absolutely love Hayward-Baylis’ celebration after getting his debut goal.

Embrace the challenges and enjoy the growth that comes with coaching at the senior level. (7/7)

6) Keep the ball moving!
Another one that applies to all coaching but especially critical in senior football.
Get the ball moving and keep it moving as much as possible. Physically players will improve if nothing else. (6/7)

5) Help players find solutions rather than teach
Get your constraints and conditions right, get the players in and add context where required. Encourage critical thinking and autonomy on the pitch. To be honest this applies to all coaching really! (5/7)

4) Be prepared to be challenged. Especially the higher you go the more likely this is going to happen. Senior players will test your knowledge and authority. Embrace it as an opportunity to grow and establish mutual respect. (4/7)

2) Understand the level.
Something I wasn’t prepared for fully moving from U15’s to senior football was how quick the game is even. The intensity, physicality, and tactical demands are so much higher. Before going in, do your homework and adjust your approach accordingly. (2/7)

Last season I transitioned from youth to senior football. It’s been a journey full of learning. Here are some of my key takeaways:
