No chance Arne Slot stays tonight. Inexcusable. Unable to coach a defense, cannot coach the midfield, and has his 2 combined £250 Million summer attacking signings combining for 1 league goal contribution in 4 months. Just shows how Mohamed Salah had the greatest league campaign in history last season.

@NiallO7Brien They’d have a go mate yeah! To be fair, they’ve never known it any different so they don’t feel like they’re missing out.

@NiallO7Brien My 13 year old daughter’s school don’t even do a sports day. My 7 year old daughter’s school did a sports hour. Games gone!

@JOGOFUNCIONAL1 That’s an interesting idea! Bibs still let players perceive the environment, and they’re similar to shirts used in real games, unlike headbands. Do you think headbands might actually draw more attention to themselves and distract players from the environment? I’m not sure!

Hopefully this starts to take off : Scanning is something you can’t ‘coach’, however many coaches enforce it. Wearing headbands allows you to play and look with your head up and perceive the environment. Wearing bibs and playing with your head down won’t facilitate this.

@ldamak_leroy Yes! 👊

@movementcoachkm 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Really like the line ‘However the issue is when it’s seen as technically developmental or a ticket that needs to be paid before playing.’ But… ‘it’s not God or Santa Claus’ is even better! 🤣

A comment this week “I know you don’t believe in drills but….” This is not true. Firstly, it’s not God or Santa Claus. It’s not about “believing”. It’s about knowing your why and having reasonable evidence for what you are designing. Just wildly “Believing in ways of practice” is half the modern issue for many sports, and their dropping numbers. Have you evidence for your beliefs? Evidence has layers and levels, but it’s perfectly ok for them to be non Uber scientific. But in reality all beliefs are embedded in some theory, even if you don’t realise it or know what it is. But that is an extra layer. Practice informs research, so without it there is no research. But good research does inform us for better practice I barely use any form of isolated practice. But I know why. Its benefit to competent players is neutral if it’s just for warm ups or filling training sessions. No issue there. However the issue is when it’s seen as technically developmental or a ticket that needs to be paid before playing. That’s utterly incorrect. At best time wasting, at worst kills participation. And in between deteriorating skill levels. The other major misunderstanding is that you “lose” skill by taking breaks. Or that you “have to be at it all the time”. A very sticky belief in sports like Hurling and Tennis for instance. Not true either. That’s not how coordination works. But those notions are deeply embedded in some of the more perceived “technical” sports (all sports are technical, only a few are scored technically) and particularly sticky in bat & ball sports like baseball, hurling, Fencing et al and also combat sports. If you have spent a long time playing the game you won’t lose the “basics”. However if you spend too long on the “basics” you will probably stagnate. Just know your why, why am I doing this? Why do I believe this is useful? And ask why at least 5 times to that answer.

@NiallO7Brien @NWalkerPE @afPE_PE @ImSporticus @christolsonHT Yep, I agree it is very impactful for the person providing it. 👍

@joshogilvie4 @NWalkerPE @NiallO7Brien @afPE_PE @ImSporticus @christolsonHT Pretty sure we’re talking about the same thing! But it’s hard and things get lost in translation on here. No worries 👍

@joshogilvie4 @NWalkerPE @NiallO7Brien @afPE_PE @ImSporticus @christolsonHT Take any sporting example: hitting a cricket ball, kicking a football, jumping a hurdle... You cannot imagine a child, given the opportunity to do those, doing it on their first attempt without any prior knowledge??

@NiallO7Brien @NWalkerPE @afPE_PE @ImSporticus @christolsonHT My question would be could you say for certain that that feedback would accelerate/deepen learning more than if it wasn’t given? Two children doing the same activity. One receives feedback from a peer. The other just receives feedback from the task. Is peer f/back more impactful?

@NWalkerPE @joshogilvie4 @NiallO7Brien @afPE_PE @ImSporticus @christolsonHT There you go 👏🏻

@joshogilvie4 @Nbishop12 @NiallO7Brien @afPE_PE @ImSporticus @christolsonHT This is where the tension lies between the information processing stance on skill acquisition and an ecological dynamic view. A long-lasting debate. Eg, constraints could be placed on an environment and the performer could produce their own solutions without being told ‘how to’.

@NiallO7Brien @NWalkerPE @afPE_PE @ImSporticus @christolsonHT Teaching them declarative/procedural knowledge that they can recall when you question them is one way you can do this. You can also improve their actual ability without doing this and this in itself can also be motivating and inspiring. But don’t need to have one for the other.

@NiallO7Brien @NWalkerPE @afPE_PE @ImSporticus @christolsonHT Haha I know you wouldn’t mate 👊

@NiallO7Brien @NWalkerPE @afPE_PE @ImSporticus @christolsonHT And to learn how to serve in tennis they need opportunity to practice it more than they need to be told how to do it. And I think teaching points have no way near the impact many believe they do. IMO anyway, as always! 🤣

@NiallO7Brien @NWalkerPE @afPE_PE @ImSporticus @christolsonHT But I do agree children enjoy learning facts, and this can be motivational for them. E.g. teaching them what STEP stands for and how to use it. But being able to describe ‘how’ to serve in tennis but not to be able to actually do one seems of little value
