The core under pining principles how how I want my teams to play

No matter the level

How they’re applied and how it looks will look different depending on the team and situation

But these never do

From the moment you win the ball back

When you’re in front of goal

When you’ve beaten a player in a 1v1 and need to find a next pass

From fire πŸ”₯ to ice cold ❄️

Practice working on defending against direct play concept I've just come up with - happy to take thoughts and comments

Main focus
Back 4 dropping in against long ball

Secondary focus
Midfield screening and sliding ball into front players

Tertiary focus
2nd balls and counter attacking

Chat gpt should now give you a structured summery of your reflection points

4) paste into chat gpt.

Below is the prompt I used

Transcribe this coaching reflection and summarise the points made including areas for development for myself as a coach for the next session.

2) record your reflections on the session.

I have a 20 minute car journey home by myself so perfect time to do it. This also helps me go over everything that happened in detail without getting writers block (or let’s face it distracted)

The problem

I’m a lazy football coach

Not when it comes to planning or delivery- loads of effort goes into that

But we all know we should reflect after sessions.

Have I don’t this outside of coaching badges? Have I f… anyway

Here’s a hack using AI to help you reflect easily

Spent the last two days feeling properly under the weather.

Apart from the hour tonight at football.

Went straight into coaching mode and apparently my body completely ignored the virus that’s kicked my butt the last 48 hours πŸ˜‚

Neville is absolute right about teams getting too structured

Always been of an opinion to break a tight block you need at least one player who can receive on tight areas, twist and drive to disrupt)

Foden, Messi, Bellingham

Slow passing plays into the defending teams hands

Yeah probably but still funny to see them really struggling to solidify a position on it.

I get their paid to be black and white but football and certainly Ange football has a lot of grey areas which you have to just accept I think

Sky just don’t know how to place this spurs side.

They can’t decide what the narrative should be.

See the difference between the studio pre and post the Ange interview.

Redknapp looked like he was going to have a stroke trying to decide if he likes the football Spurs play or not

Up to the 2nd goal you’d have thought we were 3-0 down at half time

Someone check Forsters betting account.

Must have had over 5.5 goals in play at half time.

Only explanation (ok not the only one)
