MY JUNE/JULY RUNNING PROGRAM

by swans05, posted in Training Programs

I’ve posted my go-to aerobic/anaerobic threshold training program before (level 2 membership) but here’s what it looks like in real time for me. I don’t usually do fatigue-ish running during the season as there’s more then enough of it in games and at footy training already, instead opting for specific speed work. At 43 years...

by swans05, posted in Training/Coaching Articles

These pointers come from an article on Italian National Coach Robero Manici, hot off the heels of a Euro Cup win a week or so ago. I’m not a soccer fan at all but I do read a fair bit of tactical content on the game, of which a lot of has found itself into...

SYDNEY SWANS TRANSITION OFFENSE AT LOCAL/AMATEUR LEVEL PART 5

by swans05, posted in Sydney Swans Game Style, Training/Coaching Articles

#5 – KICK OPTION FROM BEHIND INTO THE CORRIDOR This is pretty close to what the Swans often try and achieve, especially during a slow play where they are being  defended outside the corridor. This play starts with Dorca hitting up and marking then hitting up a forward pushing up towards him on the half...

by swans05, posted in Sydney Swans Game Style, Training/Coaching Articles

#4 – KICK OPTION FROM BEHIND TO KEEP FORWARDS BACK We work the ball along the boundary to the mid-point of the ground via fast play and we’ve got a line of players tearing through the middle, and through space, from the half back line where the ball came from. With Harry being one of...

SYDNEY SWANS TRANSITION OFFENSE AT LOCAL/AMATEUR LEVEL PART 3

by swans05, posted in Sydney Swans Game Style, Training/Coaching Articles

#3 – KICK OPTION FROM BEHIND TO KEEP FORWARDS BACK This starts with a short hit up from Benji and he does exactly what the Swans do on his own accord by pushing forward from behind so our forwards don’t have to come up too and high leaving us with no one to kick to....

SYDNEY SWANS TRANSITION OFFENSE AT LOCAL/AMATEUR LEVEL PART 2

by swans05, posted in Sydney Swans Game Style, Training/Coaching Articles

#2 – OPTION FROM BEHIND HANDBALL RECEIVE IN FRONT OF THE MAN ON THE MARK I should have mentioned yesterday that we tend to go lateral/backwards a lot because our home ground is postage stamp and that’s often the only way you can maintain possession and lengthen the ground to open up space in front...

by swans05, posted in Sydney Swans Game Style, Training/Coaching Articles

Last week I did a monster 4-part analysis on my Sydney Swans and their complete destruction of the West Coast Eagles, with a close look at their ball and player movement during transition offense. I’m back at my old club in a playing role after my coaching gig fell through but I did take a...

SYDNEY SWANS ANALYSIS v WEST COAST EAGLES PART 3

by swans05, posted in Sydney Swans Game Style

SPREADING THEIR TEAM DEFENSE A lot of teams do this is this particluar style where the initial ball carrier chip kicks from the middle of the ground to a lateral option who’s not quite on the boundary and then the kicker runs diagonally straight to the boundary line. This can provide 2 potential options depending...
