This scenario shows and lays out a way to train to gradually ramp up your forward press as you are able to move the ball towards your goal. I started with lower numbers for simplicity but over time feel free to increase player numbers up to about 15 for the advantage side (offensive) but you...

GAME/TRAINING SCENARIOS- RUN FROM BEHIND OPTIONS (FREE)
I first saw this running from behind play tactic from the Sydney Swans in 2021 based off player movement in soccer but you now see a lot of it in AFLW because it’s very effective to lengthening the ground and maintaining team connection all over the ground + they sort of have to do it...
GAME/TRAINING SCENARIOS – KICK OUT ALONG BOUNDARY LINE
The game video shows the 1 specific way the Bulldogs exited their defensive 50 via their kick out but as I state in the training video, that is just 1 of many options that this set up will present to the offensive team and it’s all about taking what the defense gives you and taking...
GAME/TRAINING SCENARIOS – WING BOUNDARY PLAY SWITCH
LEFT OVER GOLDEN NUGGET NOTES
As you’re all aware I do film reviews during the AFLW seasons which means I watch the games, take notes of what I see, go back and video the clips, edit the video then put it up but I also keep a list of every clip I take when I do each round which led...

TRANSFORM YOUR COACHING WITH CHRISTIAN LAVERS/DOUG LEMOV PART 1
This 2 part post are notes from an article/video posted by Doug Lemov, someone who I’m pretty sure I’ve posted about before, about a video of soccer coach Christian Lavers, who I don’t really know anything about at all! Suffice to say that after reading and watching this piece I now know that he is...
3v3 to 6v6 TRAINING GAME
Football is full of transition plays from offense to defense and from congestion to space. If you train in only open spaces then you’ll be subpar in congestion. If you only train in congestion you’ll struggle to spread and find space once you win the ball. This game adds all these elements into the 1...
GAME/TRAINING SCENARIOS – SWITCHING TO SPACE v PLAYER
When switching the play, especially in open play, you don’t always have the time and space to perfectly process, calculate and execute the perfect kick to a teammate and if you do indeed try to in these situations, it can quite often result in a turnover when there is a much simpler way to execute...
