This rule has been in footy for a few years now but it’s still hugely underutilised at local level which is surprising because of the affordances you can attain from it which never used to be there – it’s made the game easier to transition the ball but only if you know what you’re doing....

STUDY NIGHT – HIGH PERFORMERS
These notes are taken from a study on high performers in sport, what they look like, what they think about and what sets them apart from us normal’s. There’s a saying that says “success leaves clues” so if you’re goal as a player to improve, or a coach wanting to improve your players, then the...
TEAM CHALLENGE TRAINING ACTIVITY
Not much to this but it’s a bloody effective activity as it gives you, the coach, a chance to have your players attempt to interpret and put into play your specific strategies/tactics that you’re aiming to use in games. By having your players focus on using just 1 strategy/tactic at a time, it gives them...
GAME/TRAINING SCENARIOS – 5 PLAY SWITCH SCENARIOS
Usually I post the game video then the training video but I’m going a different today with these 5 outnumber scenarios. I normally leave quite a bit of bandwidth with how the scenarios can play out but these 5 are specific slices of the game with an offensive or defensive outnumber theme. The 2nd major...
LEFT OVER GOLDEN NUGGET NOTES PART 3
Here are some more left over notes from what I originally compiled for the level 4 – game/training scenarios membership. All notes/clips are taken from actual AFLW games from 2022 showing how things can play out in the heat of games and how much team organisation actually takes place, something severely lacking in local/amateur football...
IMPROVE YOUR TIME TO FATIGUE TRAINING PROGRAM
OK, you start your watch and head out for a run, get back and look at the time. A 25sec personal best over 3kms, great. You continue with this method time after time and at some point, more often sooner before later, you can’t really beat your time anymore. You can close to it, but...
GAME/TRAINING SCENARIOS – 5 OUTNUMBER SCENARIOS
Usually I post the game video then the training video but I’m going a different today with these 5 outnumber scenarios. I normally leave quite a bit of bandwidth with how the scenarios can play out but these 5 are specific slices of the game with an offensive or defensive outnumber theme. The 2nd major...
STUDY NIGHT – A PEOPLE-FOCUSED APPROACH (SPORT4ME)
These points come from a a study released just last week titled “Sport4Me: A People Focused Approach to Engaging Australians in Sport.” Click the hyperlink to view in full. With such a focus only playing to win at all community levels of sport, participation has dropped off the back of it as more and more...
GAME/TRAINING SCENARIOS – FORWARD 50 DEFENSE
As mentioned in the video, set some cones up through the mid line of the ground to act as a space constraint then let them play. We’re specifically seeing how our 2 defenders can delay the ball from getting to the far wing and provide time for our pother defenders to get over from where...
GAME/TRAINING SCENARIOS – KICK OUT + FOLLOW UP
This is a set play from the kick out but it’s all about keeping the kick out player involved in the play because the least defended player on the ground is usually the one who just disposed of the ball, so they’ll often be free if they keep on the move and in the play....
