Most children don’t play football on a pitch.
They play it through noise.
“Pass it.”
“Get rid.”
“Don’t lose it.”
“Boot it.”
“Kick it long.”
“Man on.”
“Tackle.”
“Run.”
“Mark up.”
“Stop messing.”
“Focus.”
All at once, from everywhere.
Coach ⇢ Parent ⇢ Sideline.
Here’s the uncomfortable part, every voice thinks they’re helping, but when everything is urgent, nothing is clear.
When every action is dictated, nothing is learned. So what does the child do?
◍ Stop deciding.
◍ Start reacting.
◍ Play safe.
◍ Get frustrated
Not due to lack of ability, but because the environment interferes with their thinking and decision-making in the game.
We say we want confident players who make good decisions, then build environments that reward obedience. That’s the contradiction and it doesn’t show up in the short-term. It shows up years later when players stop trying things they haven’t been told to do or worse quit the game.
If you stripped the sideline back to encouragement, positivity and freedom. What would your players actually do?

@JPSoccerCoach @AndySeidel12 @power_ray @TacticaFrade @TampaBayRowdies @y__abbas @YlmazAHN6 @coach_kevin_m @pabzshaw Setting those expectations early helps.
That hard work and effort are non negotiable, that it's what being part of the environment means.

Some of the most difficult conversations with players are when they ask, "Why am I not playing?"
The answer almost always comes down to, "Can I trust you?" "Do your teammates trust you?" "Have you earned it every day....not just occasionally but in every exercise, every day?"

Hexagon Forward Passing.
Using the edges of the hexagon as points to play forward passes through.
In game one two mini games occur, from a central 2v2 breaking out into a 3v1 attack.
In part two there is a central 4v4 breaking out to a front three who attack.
In part three the game switches to 5v5 in the hexagon with a front two.
There are various progressions possible:
A front two against two defenders.
Overloads either side of the half way line in the octagon.
Passers making forward runs to support the forwards.

@cutinside @power_ray @JPSoccerCoach @Coach_Osku @otm_enhancement That buy in makes all of the difference.
Turning individuals into a team, and getting that team to work together towards a common goal is powerful stuff.

When players understand what to do and feel why it matters, you create something powerful:
Resilience under pressure
Innovation in moments of chaos
Genuine commitment to the collective mission @power_ray @JPSoccerCoach @Coach_Osku @otm_enhancement #soccer #leadership #coaching

I absolutely loved today❤️
Finishing 5 weeks of training with the cohort of prisoners playing an Oxford United coaches team was great.
The coaches went 4-1 up but the cohort showed great resilience and leadership to turn it around and win on penalties.
What an experience!
Oxford United in the Community@OUFCcommunity
Today, a team of @oufccommunity and @oufcofficial staff visited HMP Bullingdon to play against a squad of prisoners. ⚽️ This was to celebrate our second cohort of prisoners completing a five-week football course, which aims to support rehabilitation through the mental and physical benefits of playing sport. After a closely contested match, the prisoners secured a narrow victory via a penalty shootout. 🤝

RT @ekkonomethod: Coaching is full of decisions 🎯
That is where mentorship makes the difference.
🔸 Analyze your team & opponents
🔸 Prepar…

@DaveKnox02 It is what it is, there are some scummy people out there!

@CoachRobPorter just received a nice DM from your old hacked account. So sorry this has happened to you
Hythe End, South East 🇬🇧 English
@coachtonymee @RJPcoach @PeterPrickett @power_ray @BreakthruSoccer @CCD_Essex @Coach_Osku @tactica1thinker @JB_SoccerCoach @coach_kevin_m @ProAcademyDrill Still hacked unfortunately, so don't click on any links.

@CoachRobPorter @RJPcoach @PeterPrickett @power_ray @BreakthruSoccer @CCD_Essex @Coach_Osku @tactica1thinker @JB_SoccerCoach @coach_kevin_m @ProAcademyDrill Nearly messaged you about this. Also, have you PM’d about a podcast?
English
So, my @RJPcoach account has been hacked, and X is not being helpful in getting it back!
For now at least, I'm @CoachRobPorter, if people could ignore the scam posts and give me a follow on here, it would be greatly appreciated.

⚽️ Example training session for coaches:
Week 5, Session 1 from a 6-week plan.
Same structure.
Now switching to defending phase. 🧵
English
@calps @TheS_Resource @PaulMcG8 It's not someone I engaged with as far as I know.
I started the account about 10 years ago and never thought about MFA unfortunately.
English
@CoachRobPorter @TheS_Resource @PaulMcG8 Rob, did you engage with them? Did you have MFA setup on your account? I’m just interested in the process. My friend had the same issue
English
@CoachRobPorter @RJPcoach Haha totally
Completely ridiculous that this happens though
English
Some great points in this post🤝
Today, we had a couple of lads watching, so for the last 30 minutes, they picked teams and coached them.
That added a little extra competition to the game, as well as giving a chance for those lads to work on their leadership skills.

Late season blues. Motivation drops. Energy levels drop. How can we raise the levels? Competition. At least that is what I have been trying with the college U19s. Make all the elements competitive. Split training into two teams early on. Use a board and keep track of who wins each section. Part 1 - Competitive relays with and without the ball. Score each race. Part 2 - Competitive passing/rondo. First team to a certain number of passes. First team to regain and score. First team to knock the ball off the cone. First team to a certain number of split passes (if there are two or more in the middle). Part 3 - Competitive shooting and finishing. First vs the goalkeepers. 1v1 - Pass set and strike - Third man finish (up back and short diagonal). Then vs goalkeeper and one defender. Then vs goalkeeper and two defenders. 3v1, 3v2, 4v2 + GK. Part 4 - Competitive small sided game. Small area with target players in opposition half. Part 5 - Match. High tempo game (service from the coaches). Five points for winning the game. Raise the energy.

@CoachRobPorter @RJPcoach As if someone that hacks accounts is going to do anything near to the decent thing
Scum bags the lot of them

The next scam to be wary of, if you receive a DM from @RJPcoach it's still a hacked account so don't click the link!
English
@CoachRobPorter Appreciate that Rob.
It’s an image I’ve been thinking about for a while. Everything we do sits on top of that environment piece.
If the environment isn’t right, it doesn’t matter how good the session design or coaching is… it won’t land the same.
English
Most coaches jump straight to sessions.
But sessions sit near the top.
If the base isn’t right:
– no trust
– poor behaviours
– too much information
…nothing sticks.
This is how I think about developing players over time.
What would you add or challenge?
