To be clear, I do think Wales will win, I will be watching & point 3 is TBC!

Well this is it!

Sounds good, Anthony. Simple, concise points in game can be just enough to help focus attention

A good time for reflection then!

Sounds like a logical approach, Joel!
Maybe ask the players what they find most beneficial this week? I'll do the same!

I love taking water on the pitch as it allows me to hear the conversations! It often means that I don't need to say anything!

I often change between the two in the same week! I think it depends on the message and the emotional state of the players (and coaches?!)

A lot to be said for giving players space to find solutions. A key skill for the coach there is spotting the problem early, being deliberate in noticing whether the players have solved it, then helping them if and when they need it!

The level of detail and how it's communicated is key isn't it. All the things that coaches aren't taught!
November 14, 2024 at 5:14 PM
Agree with you both that players can't/don't want to take on any detailed information during play. That's the case at all levels.

'Cues' that are understood by all can be really powerful however!

Why is 3 bad?!

Why do you think 3 is bad, Sam?

I’m genuinely interested in what coaches see work for their teams rather than any of them being good or bad!
