These notes come from this Gaelic football Twitter site, that looks at what we’re actually all aiming for during and from training – learning. There’s so much focus on the “doing” of training but that’s mainly because that’s what coaches know – they know what they want to see and design their activities for that...

I literally just recorded this off the TV 2mins ago, with the TNT crew off Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith, Shaquille O’ Neal and Ernie Johnson talking about the boost that comes with being named a first-time all-star, and the first game coming off of that which in this case is Jalen Brunson and Tyrone Maxey...

I first learnt about game models about 5 or 6 years ago via Fergus Connolly, a coach who has had his hands in every sports pie you can imagine, including EPL, NFL and NBA. I believe they are a must-have for ALL coaches but especially local coaches as they are not as resourced as elite...

Simons was used to shooting any shot he wanted in...

Post-Xmas pre-season training is about to start back up this month so it’s time to take stock of your current coaching practices and isolate areas of improvement, with this post focusing on where most coaches waste the most time during practice. This wasted-time results in less ball rolling time which is the % of your...

After reading the study I posted about earlier this week, it got my juices flowing about how this could be implemented in local footy and who does what from senior level down all the way down to junior level. I’m well-aware of the this probably not being applicable for a lot of clubs by if...

These notes come yet another study that you can read in its entirety here. It looks at positioning the head coach as a coach developer so they can carry out literal team coaching duties, like we see in the AFL with assistant coaches doing line duties, and development coaching doing, well, development. This leaves the...

Even though this is a paid membership site, I’m always reading and taking notes and sometimes something I read is so useful that I can’t keep it to myself. In these cases, where I’ve simply rehashed someone else’s work, I’ll pop it up for free because all I did was read it, and take notes...
