So far I’ve dropped 2 edition’s of these series containing 20 training activities each but with house moving tomorrow, a severe lack of time, and it being 11:27pm, here’s another 10 to tie you over for now. Remember, these are training activities that I just have a short description of with no videos, images or...
Last week we started this series with youth development and today we roll with learning: Motor learning can increase by 20% in the first 3 – 9 sessions Mistakes (James Clear) – make mistakes of ambition (failing on a big goal, creating something nobody wants) over making mistakes of a sloth (not attempting a big...
I’ve got 100’s of pages of research I’ve compiled over about 20 years on training and coaching just sitting there, with the intention of being used as content but rarely does. As I’m in the middle of packing and then moving house next week, this is the perfect opportunity to utilise some of it. This...

I’ve posted about mastery v ego before so in a nutshell it’s: Mastery – locating, finding and completing a pass to the best, usually most open and easy target available. Ego – ignoring the most open and easy target to attempt a pass with a low chance of being completed and that puts our team...
Previous Post – Center Bounce Clearance Win New Post – Our Intercept Mark Defensive 50 The player movements/formations that will allow this to occur frequently will be evident in future posts as we reach the end of the loop which starts this new loop (that made sense didn’t it?), but of course it helps immensely...
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...
A couple of weeks ago I dropped the first edition of this and with pre-season being the time to road test and refine new training activities, here’s another 20.
