@ben_andreos A couple of goals to enjoy then 👏

1-1 last night. Atlanta scored towards the end to equalise

My @SundayShare10 Had the opportunity to experience @MLS last night watching @OrlandoCitySC Vs @ATLUTD Fantastic experience to be able to witness this. Massive thanks to @DeanBarker06 for organising and for Andy for taking me. Brilliant atmosphere and the game didn’t disappoint. #Coaching #Learning #MLS #Academy

This has had me thinking over the last couple of days None of us get to where we are alone. 👣 Whether it was a teacher who saw your potential, a parent who never stopped believing in you, or a mentor who gave you that one piece of advice that changed everything—we are all a mosaic of the people who poured into us. Today, I’m taking a moment to be grateful for the voices that shaped my path. Who has influenced you to be where you are today? Tag them below to give them their flowers! 💐 Im intrigued to hear who inspired you? #Gratitude #GrowthMindset #Mentorship #Legacy #Inspiration

⚽️ Pitch Width ⚽️ Using @SSPlanner Today’s session focused on spatial awareness and patient build-up through a conditioned 8v8 Small-Sided Game (SSG). By splitting the pitch into thirds and enforcing specific positional constraints, we’re challenging our players to think two steps ahead. 🛠 The Setup 8v8 (including GKs) Pitch Layout: Divided into three thirds across the pitch 2 wide areas and a central area. Constraints - Attacking Team: Must maintain presence in all 3 thirds to ensure width and depth. Defending Team: Free movement to press or drop deep. 🎯 Coaching Objectives We aren't just looking for goals; we’re looking for the process. This drill forces players to: Stretch the Opposition: By keeping players in every third, the attacking team prevents the defense from bunching up. Avoid "Route One": The 2-zone rule eliminates the long-ball-and-hope strategy, requiring tactical transitions through the thirds. Recognize Overloads: Since defenders can go anywhere, attackers must identify where the space is and move the ball quickly to exploit it. #Coaching #Academy #Development #Session #Training

The important first touch #SundayShare

The @SundayShare10 this week is a little analysis that I have done and apologise for the rubbish video but I tried. 📹⚽️ Watching the game yesterday i thought @ManCity were in total control Vs Brentford, but that Marmoush goal was the real masterclass. 💎 The weight of the pass from @ErlingHaaland was perfection, but watch Marmoush’s first touch again. By taking it exactly where he did, he forced Kelleher to shift his weight a step to the left, opening up that far corner. Pure elite IQ to know the finish was on before he even hit it.  Brilliant understanding of the space. ⚽️📈  #MCIBRE #Coaching #Marmoush #Analysis

Haaland must be getting so frustrated. He just wants a ball to be put in the box. City have got into some good areas and tried to fine passes in behind rather than put it in the box. I bet if they cross one Haaland scores. #MCYBRE @SkySportsPL

The work you do when no one is watching is what makes the difference when everyone is. ⚽️🚀 #Academy #Motivation #Football #Coaching

Love this. Brings back memories.

Mastering the Midfield: Positional Possession ⚽️ Using @SSPlanner Looking to improve spatial awareness and passing lanes? This 4-box possession drill from my session. It is a fantastic way to challenge players to find space in tight areas. The Setup: • Pitch split into four 10x10 quarters. • 1v1 in each box to ensure high individual accountability. • Goal: Red team works the ball north-to-south; Green team works east-to-west. • Neutral players help facilitate movement and create overloads. Key Coaching Points: ✅ Scanning before receiving. ✅ Timing of movements to create passing angles. ✅ Speed of play in transition. Progression Players can switch boxes when in possession with each other to create rotation but it still needs to be 1v1 in each box. Defending team can’t follow they need to communicate with each other if switches occur. #Coaching #Football #Academy #Development #Possession

What a brilliant day yesterday at Vicarage Road! Seeing the different age groups take to that pitch, soak up the atmosphere, and adapt so smoothly to such a big stage was a joy to witness. Their excitement was infectious, and the shared memories we made will stick with all of us. On a personal level? Total pinch-yourself moment. Getting to stand on that touchline and coach this fantastic group in a stadium of that scale is something I’ll never forget. So proud of every single one of them. 💛💙 Also a special moment to watch a player I have worked with for quite a while take to the pitch before was great to witness. #Academy #VicarageRoad #Coaching #Journey #Memories

You never know what you have in common with someone. 🤍 That person whose vibe feels totally different from yours? They might also stay up too late replaying the same favorite song, or struggle with the same quiet self-doubts, or love baking terrible but delicious cookies just as much as you do. It’s easy to jump to conclusions or stick to what feels familiar. But judgment builds walls—curiosity builds bridges. Ask a question. Listen more than you speak. You might just find a kindred spirit where you least expected it. #Curious #Judgemental #Common #TedLasso #Vibes
