@delpieri @CBSSportsGolazo It is the broadcast friendly version of the story. Rock and Roll did not start with the Beatles, but they sure made it popular. @jonawils Inverting the Pyramid is good on the longer story

@CBSSportsGolazo This isn't the whole story though. The origins of 'total football' date back to Jimmy Hogan who laid the intellectual and technical groundwork for it. Way before it got to Michels, this idea ran through Austria in the 1930s and most famously Hungary's Magical Magyars.

Living in Spain, I usually hear about bullfighting through the anglophone media. Last week, however, I couldn't avoid it. First the goring of bullfighting's Zinedine Zidane. Then I went on vacation in Seville during La Feria de Abril. Latest piece - enjoy, share, gracias!

@mlycan12 This rule happens with Spanish clubs at U12. Parents can travel separately to come watch. If the parents seek out the player without it being previously arranged by the coach, the player does not play.

This post has clearly touched a hot button! No one is more about family than we are and we often boast that we will have more fans at away games than the home team! Love all of our parents making big efforts to come support us home and away. However, we do have a rule that no parents are to stay at our hotels (most of our travel is by bus). We call our away games “business trips with teammates” and expect everyone to be locked in on our single focus of winning a game. I think where you are talking about players being paid to participate via scholarships and now of course NIL this is a reasonable expectation. My personal opinion is that parents traveling with the team and/or staying at the same hotel presents a pretty big distraction. Save that for post game.

Flying home with a DI team and I swear half the roster had a parent on the same flight. As we deplaned, parents were right there waiting for their kids as they stepped off. This is wild.

@tomsan106 It works. Getting your kids technical enough to play at the highest levels in Spain from Canada is quite a challenge. But after moving, I can tell you it works.

Please take some time to research the “Football Starts at Home” approach, which has been recommended and examined by institutions such as Harvard, Stanford, and the University of Houston. You’ll find clear evidence of its educational benefits, enough to convince even the most skeptical parents. There’s a wealth of material available, including hundreds of interviews and podcasts, if you take the time to explore it.

@tomsan106 (2/n) Will this approach work in India? The idea is to shift “football at home” into "football at play school", because most Indian parents won’t give that kind of hands-on support at home, even though they’re happy to send kids to school early.

@israel_ajoje In addition to the protection aspect, covering your leg with high socks also makes it easier for teammates to see you with scans and peripheral vision.

x.com/ESPNnl/status/… Law 4 of the IFAB Laws of the Game says this about shin guards: "shinguards must be made of a suitable material and be of an appropriate size to provide reasonable protection and be covered by the socks. Players are responsible for the size and suitability of their shinguards." Today, Lewis Holtby of NAC Breda suffered a laceration to his leg during their Eredivisie match against Fortuna Sittard. A laceration is exactly the kind of injury shin guards exist to prevent or reduce. We do not yet know the size of the shin guards he was wearing when it happened. Under the law, that is entirely his own responsibility. This is the gap between the regulation and the reality. The law mandates protection but leaves the definition of protection to the player. At professional level, nobody checks. And then something like today happens, and the conversation about what reasonable protection actually means will start again briefly, until it does not. My name is Ajoje. I am a FIFA Licensed Agent and International Sports Lawyer. I write on the Law and Business of Football, a lot. Repost and Follow if you want to read more posts like this.

The best coaches don’t choose between high standards and real connection. They demand more because they care. They’ll raise the bar— And still ask how you’re doing.

@LaceUpSoccer @ReeceEdwardsX Pattern recognition is a fundamental skill in reading comprehension. It provides background knowledge and enables chunking of information so that players can solve problems.

@ReeceEdwardsX Every youth coach in the country needs this on their wall. Most of what gets drilled at U10-U14 is pattern recognition. The kids who learn to solve problems under pressure are the ones still playing at 17. That's the whole game.

The Athletic published a rare inside look at how NFL scouts write their reports. There are direct parallels to football scouting, but NFL scouting departments have solved two bottlenecks that most football clubs still improvise around. 1. Transmission: watching players and writing down observations is the easy part. Transmitting those observations from scout to decision-maker is where scouting actually influences decisions. NFL scouting departments build shared internal shorthand - coded language programmed into the system so everyone reads the same way. Most football clubs rely on each scout's personal vocabulary. When language is ambiguous, insights die in translation. 2. Decisiveness: NFL reports are built around a one-liner – what you'd tell the GM about a player in a 30-second conversation. One sentence – who is the player and why should/shouldn't we sign him? The rest of the report exists in service of that line. Most football scouting reports I read describe players in varying levels of detail without ever committing to a decision. A scouting report is an argument, not a description.
