What worked at Bayer 04 doesn't work at Real Madrid. Systems don't fail-Context-awareness fails Tactics don't fail-Adaptation fails Methodologies don't fail-Rigidity fails

Every club, every squad has habits. A new manager’s job —in this context — isn’t to wipe the slate clean; it’s to build on what’s already winning. You don’t throw out Champions League mentality because it doesn’t fit a textbook idea of “control”.

Unpopular Opinion: GPS data is cool but I guarantee 95% of coaches don’t know how to use it in a meaningful way.

Uruguay head coach Marcelo Bielsa reportedly told one of his players that playing in MLS "makes players lazy" & that they must play elsewhere to make his squads. His Uruguay side is currently down 4-1 at halftime to the United States & all four goals were scored by MLS players

Exactly why you should listen to an S&C Coach. Just conditioning with the ball is stupid.

6 years in the making. The Sport Science Handbook launches August 2025 — a practical blueprint for coaches, sport scientists, and practitioners who want to make better decisions in sport. This project wouldn’t exist without the many brilliant people who generously contributed their insights and time. 👇 A huge thank you to: • Matt Jordan (@JordanStrength) • Sam Contorno (@sam_contorno) • Emma Beanland (@EmmaBeanland1) • Harjiv Singh (@singh_harjiv) • Dave Tenney (@DaveTenney) • Anna Cruse (@AnnaCruse) • Johann Windt (@JohannWindt) • Dominic Samangy (@DSamangy) • Daniel Yu (@daniel_yuuu) • Jenny Strickler • Patrick Ward (@OSPpatrick) • John Wagle • Ernie Rimer (@ErnieRimer) • Dave Taylor (@Bballphysio) • Josh Nelson (@DrCoachNelly) • Jo Clubb (@JoClubbSportSci) • Matt Rhea (@MattRheaPhD) • Joe Eisenmann (@Joe_Eisenmann) • Jeremy Sibold (@JeremySibold) This isn’t a textbook. It’s a practical guide for navigating the messy, complex realities of applied sport science — built to help you: • Think more clearly about what really matters • Make better decisions in any environment • Improve athlete performance & health at all levels Follow @sportscinetwork to stay tuned. What is the Sport Science Network?

@Jon_Mackenzie Exactly. There is a whole neuroscience section of Tactical Periodization which goes beyond the typical “training cycle” approach of traditional periodization theory. If you just study the physical component you are scratching the surface of the methodology.

@DaveTenney But I don't think you can really understand what is at stake in Mourinho's football without understanding the deeper concept.

Been doing a tonne of research into Jose Mourinho over the Christmas "break" for a project I'm working on and I find it pretty interesting that more hasn't been made of "tactical periodisation" as an explanation for why Mourinho is so different to so many other elite coaches.

@Jon_Mackenzie Good insight @Jon_Mackenzie! And I agree... I would add that I don't think I really "got" TP until you go to Portugal to speak with Prof. Frade and his students and understand how intertwined the physical, emotional, and cognitive are within this methodology.

If you view the game as fundamentally chaotic and the role of the coach to be to prepare your players to face the chaos, then it changes your approach to the game.

@DJ_sport_sci @MrWiseyMan I would obviously say, 100% yes. It must be added to future programs based on the impact that you can have in your organization.

@MrWiseyMan I have reacted similarly. Feels like a huge gap most sport scientist don't have. Do we need to add it to future programs?
