@NobletStrength @Mike_Quirke in a moment for the person in front of me. But more often than not I prefer to challenge them with questions and guide them instead of telling
English
@NobletStrength @Mike_Quirke It’s about how we as coaches can help our players discover or learn and the way we do that
Sure we can tell them the/an answer. And I do sometimes - usually to highlight a solution like you described. Personally I don’t have an issue with that. Sometimes I feel that’s helpful

@poncheezied1 Good question. Instead of running drills to demo and practice “shielding”, turn it into a problem to solve
Play the stadium game
“Can you keep the ball in your stadium to win a point for your team? What might help you do that?” Reflect, notice, go again.
English
A different approach to coaching:
Stop forcing learning objectives.
Start creating problems to solve.
“What can you do in a tight space under pressure?”
Let them explore it.
Not:
“Today we’re learning how to shield the ball.”
English
@NobletStrength I’m not chasing “perfect technique” though, it might look different for different kids and that’s totally fine. Equally a feint can be as useful as a step over if it helps you achieve what you’re wanting to do
English
@NobletStrength Guessing you’re referring to “perfect technique”? I think there’s a difference between convergence and perfection. Personally I don’t see an issue with practicing or demoing commonly used skills (a drag back, a turn, a chop) and then exploring this with kids
English
I hate this buzzword because it's true in some skills and completely false in others. We know through biomechanics and the fact top athlete convergence on the same techniques that some techniques are just inherently superior to others, maybe even the optimal technique period.

6/ There’s no “perfect technique.” Every great player does it differently.
English
This. This is also the most evidence based position on the topic. Having higher technical ability allows for less cognitive load on controlling the ball and it allows for more solutions because you have more skills to execute those solutions.
MyFootballCoach@MyFootballCoach
You can’t make high-level decisions with low-level technique. The best decision-makers are usually the players most comfortable on the ball. Ball mastery doesn’t slow the game down — it unlocks it.

Didn’t understand the hype when I saw this
Then I saw the close up

The Anatomy of an Elite Strike: Why Harry Kane is the Ultimate "9" 🎯⚽️ They say the best strikers don't just see the goal; they feel it. Last night, Harry Kane’s second goal against Atalanta wasn't just a record-breaking 50th in the Champions League—it was a masterclass in technical execution under extreme duress. In a modern game where "tight spaces" are the norm, Kane showed why he remains the gold standard. Here is why that specific strike was so special: • Composure in the Chaos: Receiving the ball with his back to goal and two defenders (Hien and Sulemana) draped over him, most players would have looked for a recycle. Kane didn't. He used his physical frame to shield the ball, absorbing the contact while maintaining his balance. • The "Tight Space" Turn: In a fraction of a second, he executed a sharp, instinctive turn. Despite the lack of room, his footwork was immaculate, moving the ball just far enough away from the defenders to create a shooting lane that didn't exist a moment prior. • Striking "Across" the Ball: This was the genius moment. Even while off-balance, Kane understood the geometry of the situation. By striking across the ball with ferocious power, he ensured the trajectory took it away from the goalkeeper, Marco Sportiello, and into the far top corner. • The Result: A rising shot that left the keeper a spectator. It wasn't just about power; it was about the spatial awareness to know exactly where the keeper was positioned and choosing the one angle he couldn't reach. In business as in football, the ability to execute with precision when the pressure is highest and the margins are thinnest is what separates the great from the legendary. 50 goals in 66 games. Faster than Ronaldo. Level with Henry. The Harry Kane era at Bayern Munich is something to behold. 📈 #HarryKane #UCL #BayernMunich #FootballAnalysis #TechnicalMastery #ElitePerformance #ChampionsLeague

10/ The goal: kids who enjoy it, feel involved and want to come back. That’s where development starts.
