Putting a foot on top of the ball to manipulate 3 defenders and freeze another 3

Be someone that inspires bravery.

One of the new All Blacks coaching staff. Do t have to know him or rugby to know that guy. The crusty old coach (in the best possible way) reminding everyone to nail the basics

Pep Guardiola’s influence on modern football is unmatched.

🚨💣 Marcelo Bielsa drops PURE football philosophy 🔊 “There is a short path to winning, which is to play better than the opponent. There is a more accessible path: I’m not going to play well, but I’m going to prevent the other from doing so.” “When you try to play well, you have to assume a risk.”

Here's Jurgen Klopp's advice to young football coaches at the start of their careers 👀

“Hear Me…” Mike Tomlin GOLD 🔥 “It’s not what you are capable of; it’s what you are willing to do. Plenty of people are capable. Fewer people are willing.” Potential is common. Commitment is rare.

"The best have the courage. The courage to take the ball all the time, the courage to make sure they are not going to be intimidated by their opponents, and the courage to express themselves at all times."  Sir Alex Ferguson

68% of youth soccer goals come from transitions. Tips to score more and concede less from them:

It's interesting to compare Sydney FC u13 training to the famous Guardiola demonstration from 2007 (below). Both coaches talk about 'pass and move' or 'give-and-go', but the framing/interpretations are very different. Neither is right nor wrong, nor mutually exclusive.

You have to coach mentality. And sometimes, you have to coach effort as frustrating as it is.

How you train is how you play more often than not. Fabian Hürzeler this week at Brighton training.

Cesc Fàbregas' Como beat Roma yesterday and are now ALONE in fourth place in Serie A. 🧠🇪🇸 As it stands, this team will play Champions League football next season. 💫

A tactical risk worth taking: go for it anytime you are onside and can move into space behind the nearest defenders within the direct the path to width of the six yard box
