YOUTH FOOTBALL SERIES #6- CHANGING GAME SPEED IN THE SAME ACTION DRILL

Something you’ll see in all levels of football, but plenty of in youth football ranks, is a player in possession of the ball on the burst but unable to see anything on the field apart from length, resulting in simply kicking the ball as long as they can to whoever is there. A unique skill...

SLOW PLAY TRAINING DRILL – PATIENCE 2

Back in October I posted my first crack at developing a slow play training drill called Patience but I ran this version with youth footballers this week and I think it works better because of the slight alteration. Most players of all ages are far too eager to simply play on without knowing who and...

TRAIN LIKE STEPH – DIY

Earlier in the week I took some points from Stephen Curry’s latest off-season programming based around training with a purpose and putting yourself in an environment that imparts game like stress on your training performance. With most local teams having maybe 3 – 4 coaches covering 50 – 60 players it’s hard to decide who...

PATIENCE WITH THE BALL TRAINING DRILL

I mentioned in a post last week that I analysed a bunch of games fro my local footy club from 2021 and 1 thing that was prevalent is a lack of patience with the footy in hand. There’s this thing in local footy, and it’s always there for a variety of reason, that breakneck speed...

TRAIN GAMES WITHOUT THE GAME (5 TRAINING GAMES)

We train to get better at games except that we rarely use games in training, opting for cone to cone drills and maybe the odd 4v1 clearance drill which is not as game representative as you probably think it is. We know that footy is just bloody darn demanding and it’s hard to play actual...

VERTICAL v WIDTH GAME PLAY

Football, and all team sports for that matter is a battle of time and space superiority with each an every game action based on where you can get to, how you can get there, how fast you can get there an once there, how effective can you be. This is happening not just for the...

LEARNING = PERFORMANCE TRAINING DRILL (PART 3)

If you’ve read the previous 2 part on “Learning = Performance” you’ll now be aware of more effective methods of teaching from a coaching view to enhance learning on the player side of things. By incorporating “in the trenches” and scientifically backed learning principles/concepts such as deseriable difficulties, storage strength, retrievel strength, variable learning, interleaving...

SYDNEY SWANS GAME STYLE INTRODUCTORY TRAINING DRILL PART 4

This final introductory video shows how the Swans build their offensive lanes via their player, and thus ball movement, which also builds their defense at the same time. The player lanes was probably the real magic in the Swans offense in season 2021 as it keeps all 22 players in the play for as long...

SYDNEY SWANS GAME STYLE INTRODUCTORY TRAINING DRILL PART 3

Once again we move towards more game representation when introducing this Sydney Swans game style to a new team.
