TB to my time on Trinidadian TV.. Why I do what I do! 🇹🇹♥️

Beau Oliphant for Baggies scored 5-6 Baggies goals through on penalties.

34' | Edmonds drives the ball in from the edge of the box after some good work from Smith - a well worked goal and it’s game on! BL 1 - 1 TM #UTB

Next up.. we’re at Chalky Lane📍 #UTB

One of the biggest things of football still being in the dark ages, is how people lazily look at physicality. They look at physicality through height, size, power. If you asked someone. Who’s more physical. Gyokeres or James Maddison? They’ll laugh and say “obviously Gyokeres”. No. Gyokeres has SOME physical attributes better than Maddison, Maddison has plenty physical attributes better than Gyokeres. I’d also go as far to say Gyokeres has probably been shrugged off the ball more times in the opening months than Maddison has in an entire season. Why? Becuase Maddison has phenomenal balance, agility, deceleration. You can’t get to him to actually shrug him off, by the time you’re decelerating and distributing your weight, he’s already turned on a sixpence and is away. Whereas the far bigger Gyokeres takes a while to ground himself and decelerate so in those moments he approaches the ball, he’s easier to push off it. Whereas if you’ve got both players, at full speed and power, and it’s side by side, shoulder to shoulder, Gyokeres obviously completely dominates James Maddison. Point being, we have to stop equating physicality in football to “size, strength, power, speed” when there are so many facets to it. And it’s even scarier when people who work in the game do it by looking at a players height or physique…

This was the COLDEST moment of the penalty shootout today. Thiaguinho simply HUMILIATED Paraguay’s goalkeeper after he kept taunting him Ice in his veins 🥶

The Italian academy system is renown for producing technically able footballers. But its coaches need to have much more than technical know how. Check the list of coaching competencies for this Serie A club (how many boxes can you ✅). 🇮🇹 @TheS_Resource #SerieA

INTER MILAN'S ZIELINSKI MIGHT HAVE JUST SCORED THE BEST GOAL YOU'LL SEE IN SERIE A THIS SEASON 😦👏 📺 @TNTSports & @discoveryplusUK

⏰ 35’ 🟨 Edmonds goes into the book… SW 0 - 1 BL #Baggies @ComCoFL

Jonas the bonus 🐐

Accountability without empathy isn’t leadership, it’s deflection dressed as discipline 👀

Last minute goal, limbs, the gaffer pulling out the worm. English non-league remains undefeated 😂😂

My 5th experience with Shots 18’s in this great competition. Another brilliant experience in store and more opportunities to learn! ❤️💙

A strong player/coach relationship is built on trust and clarity. By focusing on the controllables of effort, attitude, and preparation. Players take ownership of their growth, while coaches provide the framework to guide progress.

Another brilliant FA Youth Cup experience for all involved ❤️💙

@HAMRICHFC Best wishes to the young lad. Must be said, top bunch of lads the Hampton boys - game was played in a really positive manner. Really impressed with both sides.

Game has been abandoned here. Our player is up and conscious, and waiting for an ambulance. We all wish him a speedy recovery.

Ah, yeah fair. Treat em like shit then because they’re footballers. All good then, they earn millions, they’re ok 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

WIN = What Is Next? A simple mindset shift that keeps you in the game. Next time something doesn’t go your way, don’t stop. Ask yourself: What’s next?

Control what you can: attitude, effort, preparation, response! @1SamHawkins

@jackcleevely ❤️

Not even a thank you. To people that dedicated themselves to the job and spent hours trying to make the team and the club better. No matter how you feel about non-league and the football itself, just don’t forget that it’s about people and how you treat them reflects on you.
