by swans05, posted in Training/Coaching Articles

Here is the 2nd part of what could be the most important coaching document a local/amateur coach could read all year, even though we’re only 9 days in! It comes from a monster document you can find here: “The forest through the trees: Making sense of an ecological dynamics approach to measuring and developing collective...

This has literally taken me all week to put together but might be the most important coaching document a local/amateur coach could read all year, even though we’re only 6 days in! It comes from a monster document you can find here: “The forest through the trees: Making sense of an ecological dynamics approach to...

LEFT OVER GOLDEN NUGGET NOTES PART 2

by swans05, posted in Training/Coaching Articles

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...

GAME/TRAINING SCENARIOS – GET WIDE TO OPEN UP THE CORRIDOR

by swans05, posted in Game/Training Scenarios

This scenario focuses initially on getting wide from the ball carrier to open up the corridor but also encompasses other vital tactics such as run from behind and utilising a number advantage, all while keeping your entire team connected all over the ground. In the training video I go through just 1 way this might...

GAME/TRAINING SCENARIOS – PRESSING HIGHER AND HIGHER

by swans05, posted in Game/Training Scenarios

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)

by swans05, posted in Game/Training Scenarios

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

by swans05, posted in Game/Training Scenarios

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...

LEFT OVER GOLDEN NUGGET NOTES

by swans05, posted in Training/Coaching Articles

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...
