Still see kids having to stand on the sideline as subs for almost an entire match in grassroots football, even at very young ages, as coaches stick with their 'strongest' team.
It's demoralising and doesn't help with development/ love of the game.

"I think a lot of parents make decisions on where they send their son or daughter because of a league table the previous year. "As opposed to choosing a club that provides an individual development plan for their child, that takes a player-centred approach, that provides equal player minutes, that has X qualifications of coaches, that has a certain type of facilities, that plays a certain way, that has a real philosophy."

“Technique is the expression of your talent”
Arsene Wenger
I agree with Mr Wenger…
Great technique is a foundation of any sport.
-Great technique can enable a player to anticipate quicker and make more accurate decisions.
-Great technique can help a player to manage their energy as they compete making them physically more effective.
-Great technique can bolster a player’s confidence - they are better able to play with energy-forward…purposefully, positively, and proactively executing actions.
As a sport psychologist, I know that a great mindset so often starts with great technique. So I agree with Mr. Wenger.
Of course, great technique is built in many ways…through instruction, through exploration, through modelling others, through isolated drills, through games and activities, through repetition in static practice environments, and through repetition in dynamically changing environments.
There are many ways for players to develop their technique. And, of course, every player’s version of ‘great technique’ is unique to them. Provided it’s optimal from a bio-mechanical perspective, every player’s technique will form in a manner akin to their fingerprints - with unique and individual-specific movement patterns that work for them.
I agree with Mr Wenger, and as a sport psychologist I urge young players to work on the foundation of their game - their technique!

As a fantasy football punishment my friend has to stay at a bar that opens at 6 AM and doesn’t close until 2 AM
For every drink he has during his stay, 30 minutes gets taken off the total time he can leave.
Stay tuned for live updates throughout the day
