"Why do players perform well in drills but struggle in games? Often, the answer is representativeness. Many drills remove key game info, while full matches don’t provide chances for them to explore the skill So how do we fix this? Let’s talk about the Task Simplification 👇🧵

Coaching has changed! It's not about meetings. It's not about long video analysis sessions with players. It's not about workshops. This generation of players do not care how much you know, how impressive your technology is or how much money you spend on training centres. They want - (and let's be honest it's what players have always wanted) - YOU - your time, your interest, your focus, your coaching! Coaching now - more than ever - is about your ability to build, sustain and grow meaningful, genuine, caring, authentic relationships with every player / athlete you coach AND achieving that through what I call TEN SECOND COACHING. Every opportunity you have to stop, be totally focused on one player - just for TEN SECONDS - grab it like it's the most important thing in your life. And for just that ten seconds, make everything about them - and you - and building a serious relationship. Ask them a question. Listen to the answer. Focus on them. If you do this every day - at every opportunity that presents itself - over and over and over - with every individual you coach - the cumulative effect of those thousands of ten second coaching moments will be so powerful that I promise something remarkable will happen.

Great article

Absolutely exceptional CPD at @DCFA_CoachDev @DurhamFA Delivery and presentation from @sallyneed3 was excellent. So much information in that 3 hours to think through. Brilliant Masterclass to start the 23/24 season of learning and development 👏

Great night at @DCFA_CoachDev Something different for myself with a position that has specialist training at our club Really insightful delivery from @ChrisErrington7 . Brilliant to see him working with the GKs. Credit to the 4 young lads that participated who were superb 👏

Great morning to be involved in Some great detail in the coaching Always a welcoming experience at the Academy of Light

Great informative night as always at @DCFA_CoachDev @DurhamFA Top delivery from Rich, Dave and Andy. Really good to see lots of new faces aswell

Finally got round to getting Connected Coaching by @benbarts The introduction alone is brilliant "There is no right way. There are only decisions." With coaching beliefs and methodology becoming more and more partisan the book offers great clarity.

What a night! What a show! #Samfender
