@PicklesJacob Btw, remove "behave like a scientist" from your bio for me because you don't do it yourself. I would suggest "behave like a cult member" as a more appropriate message.

I'd love to see real world examples of players with high level decision making and poor technique. Please present the video examples. Also, if they repeatedly fail to execute is there any value in these "high level decisions".
Jake Pickles@PicklesJacob

@NobletStrength @MyFootballCoach Well objectively, yes you can make high level decisions with ‘poor’ technique. They may not complete at first and that’s why we practice in context so players can develop functional movements over time. That’s literally the point of development 😂

@NobletStrength When you actually read what I’ve written, and manage to get out of your own perception, let me know.

I would like to inform everyone that Jake Pickles should never be taken seriously ever again on soccer as he is now suggesting Mezut Ozil had poor technique. His opinion is now to be ignored because it's not of any value to anyone that's serious about discussing the sport.
Jake Pickles@PicklesJacob

@NobletStrength As requested here is what would be considered poor technique in a passing square or a classic shooting session. No coach in an unopposed technical session has ever asked the player to take shots or pass by hitting the ball into the ground.

@NobletStrength High level players already have enough quality to be at a high level. The point we should be talking about is how to develop players up until that point. Players should be exploring new and varying ways of completing tasks, this is where we’ll help them reach their full potential

@NobletStrength @MyFootballCoach So it’s quite literally a waste of time. The key is to set up varying environments and problems which create stimulus for the players to act functionally. Techniques will emerge and more than you could coach singularly, if you’re good at it that is.

@NobletStrength @MyFootballCoach 2) There can be no ‘good’ or ‘bad’ technique. It either works or it doesn’t. But the same technique can work in one instance and not the other. To coach towards ‘perfecting’ a singular technique is impossible because every situation requires a different interaction.

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.

@BeneSB_ Alternatively your starting reference can be your players, and their conjoined traits and relationships can determine formations that not only change weekly, but within the same game. You can also coach your players and develop them to improve individually, removing weaknesses.

The worst formation is alternating between formations. There's no such thing as a perfect formation. Pick one. Eliminate the weaknesses of it over time. You can have any shape you want (which are natural byproducts of your team idea). But you only need one starting reference.

@JOGOFUNCIONAL1 Yeah, this confuses me. Where is the transition part of this?

Someone is going to have to explain what an 'artificial transition' is and what it looks like.

Great example from @JOGOFUNCIONAL1 showing the difference in relational structure. No holding positions. Relationships change. Information changes. Decisions emerge. This is why I argue we need to move beyond the rondo and positional training👇 🔗 (Link in first comment)
JOGO FUNCIONAL@JOGOFUNCIONAL1

Emerging solutions happen less in positional teams due to the predictability of the structure In relational teams movements are orientated to the ball, moving to it not away from it, play is centered to connections Players bear the responsibility of interpreting the moment

@CoachGavM Great post, Gavin. Wait until you start doing 1v2s and change where the pressure comes from!

I’m still exploring this, but I keep coming back to two questions: Does this make learning more transferable to the game? Does it make mixed ability groups easier to work with? Would love to hear other perspectives and how you may adapt this even further?

I love 1v1 exercises, but lately, especially working with U7/U8 players, I’ve found they’re not always as productive as we hope. So I started rethinking them. 🧵
