This is a step before. It presents to grassroots coaches our APP Model and how to implement it.
7 A_Side is more specific to that group. If you have 7 A-Side I’d go to Methology or 11 A-Side to be honest.

By and large US and Canadian players are prejudiced by the training they receive in the formative years. 🇺🇸 🇨🇦
“Skill drills” that do not require any understanding of situational or spatial relationships limit development.

Barking from the sidelines during matches is mostly just noise.
Feedback during training however accelerates learning when it is on “TASC.”

Thank you, Charlie.
Where we get it wrong.
❌ Far too many coaches (and coach instructors) fall into the complexity snare. More is impressive trap.
✔️ Our task as educators is to maximize learning by making content as simple as possible. Less is impressive.

For those growing up in 🇺🇸 and 🇨🇦, it may be hard to accept that skillful players emerge from contextual and competitive activities.
For those growing up in 🇪🇸, this is common sense and the way skills emerge.
Consider training accordingly.

Youth Coaches
✔️ Victory is outscoring your opponent.
However…
▪️ Consider “winning” as promoting learning & joy - both of which you can do regardless of a match result.

Jesse,
Let me know if Canada is interested in rethinking and redesigning talent development at the youth level.
Kind regards from Barcelona,

Dear Coaches
The more I study football the more I realize it is a game of spatial relationships and far too many training drills do not nurture a player’s capacity to see nor manage those relationships.
#TOVO
Cognitively faithful training exercises:
✅ Mirror real-game demands
✅ Boost decision-making
✅ Enhance transfer of skills
Train to play. Play to train.
#TOVO
So much of training is based upon the way we wish kids would learn, rather than how they actually learn.
❌ Line drills and circuits may look impressive but they do not maximize learning.
✔️ Consider contextual and competitive exercises instead.

Thanks, John.
To deliver an effective training program we must first understand how young athletes learn best.
▪️We then are better prepared to inspire and educate.
▪️If we promote learning and joy, all else falls into place.

We don’t nurture resilience in our children by ridding their path of every obstacle.
Let them pick up a shovel to dig through those desirable difficulties.
