Starting with “The Typical Tennis Lesson” — the pro fires off instructions non-stop: “Keep your wrist firm, rotate your shoulders, step into the ball, follow through higher, bend your knees more…” Student’s head explodes trying to fix 6 things at once. Result? Paralysis by analysis. Gallwey realized: too much teaching often backfires. Less instruction, more trust in the body = faster improvement.

Just started “The Inner Game of Tennis” by W. Timothy Gallwey 📖Everyone talks about the physical game, but this book is about the real battle — the one inside your head. Self-1 vs Self-2, quieting the inner critic, and playing from focus instead of force. Running thread as I read. Who else has read it? #InnerGame #Tennis #MentalGame #SelfImprovement

@SouthamptonFC Great to see the boys doing some Pilates - so good for everyone.

@stirling_j The dissonance continues- Mr Cherki looked very frustrated with much gesticulation.

Episode 3: Manchester City's Attacking Dissonance
In my analysis of the Manchester Derby, I take a look at why Guardiola's attacking organisation feels like it's stuck between two approaches.

I was just saying this to the lads down the pub ;)

ART in Arteta and Artificial Intelligence comes from the same serial code of a post-anthropic technology arriving from the future to optimise football beyond human virtuosity. Set pieces point to logical peak in the machinic phylum design space. Arteta is Skynet

The goal isn't to never feel frustrated or disappointed.
That's not human. The goal is to shorten the recovery time.
Feel it. Acknowledge it.
Then get back to a place where you can perform. That's the skill. And it can be trained.

One of the hardest and best skills to develop: How to reset quickly.
When things go wrong, do you let it linger, ruminate on it, and spiral?
Or are you able to let go and focus on the next action.

Every coach has felt it, the chaos, the noise, the urge to fix everything. We think control means progress.
But often, it blocks learning.
The game already gives them feedback, they don’t always need yours.
🎯 The moment you stop trying to control every player is the moment you start coaching them.
Coaching isn’t about perfection; it’s about permission, permission for them to grow.
What if the best version of your team comes from silence, not shouting?
🔁 Share this if you’ve learned to let go to lead better.

@kestrelpsych Co-creation of activities with players to come up with tasks that they have helped design to improve their decision making. Might help with their intentionality.

@MartinRafelt @stirling_j You 2 should get together and do a podcast or two or three 😉

@stirling_j Not sure if you're aware but that's the quote I started the Spielgeist-podcast with.

@CCD_Essex By setting up the pitches the games will allow the kids to learn different elements of the game. Let them play and see what happens.
English
There's a lot that could be written however, I would prefer coaches to appreciate at what stage the players are at, at the moment and give the appropriate help and support relevant their to age and ability.
Players will improve by playing in these.
I hope that makes sense?

@CCD_Essex Great post Gary, is there any write ups to go with exercises?

How can our use of questioning better support player learning?

@kestrelpsych Do you think he learnt to score like that by lining up in a queue to take his turn with 15 other boys when they did shooting practice!!?

@stirling_j Love the player focus - need to watch it multiple times on slow speed to take all the information in. Really good 👍
English
Its super nice that we're now seeing analysis content like this which doesn't use numbers to describe the team's attacking formations.
No tactics boards, no birds eye view pitch maps, just an analysis of the various tactical concepts on show.

@JOGOFUNCIONAL1 This appears to be a more common set of interactions in the past few months 👍 .
English
Inter bringing 3 players to the touch line and using a Paralela to escape pressure in tight spaces. Double width and ‘moving game’ affords a team many eclectic possibilities when players associate in the ball zone.

@TheSessionC Been doing a form of futsal for 4 years with my GR boys now u17 and their skill levels and techniques development now are off the scale compared to when they started. We just allow them to play for an hour. Closest thing to street soccer in the modern age for my group.
English
It is a great game in its own right and as such needs investment and a National commitment to support its growth. Its also great for development. When are we going to fully embrace this game?

Why does relationism resonate with Brazilian culture so much? Because from a young age they play not from coaching exposure but shared intention of possibilities. Fustal could be a catalyst in Europe for encouraging more player led actions if we made it accessible at youth level
