My Principles of Play are designed to develop Game Intelligence in Youth Players. The language and hierarchical structure lead them to awareness of the fluidity of space and ways to dominate it. Scanning becomes a by product of this awareness @SundayShare10 @TheS_Resource

Ah…Ilkay Gundogan… Re-appraising nervous feelings for himself and his teammates… “These nerves. They’re inevitable - it’s the Champions League semi-finals. Of course we’re nervous. But let’s use these nerves for energy. Let’s see them as excitement. Let’s use them to run

Reminds me of @Paulmcg8's excellent graphic 👇
I initially saw this when I attended a @coachdanks presentation in a conference at SGP - 5 Ways to Create and Score. Took a photo, came out rubbish, so I recreated it. Thought it was worth sharing again.

I still use these principles a lot when coaching the best driblers. In sum, 1) scan with the correct timing and 2) find a way to face forwards and use your skills.
1/7 Jacob Hanstad, perhaps the best scanner I ever coached, informed me that there seems to be a pattern on which the best dribbling players receive the ball and scan, especially in the last third of the pitch. There are 10 distinct ways players do this. Here are 5 with examples.

Pre-season football training involves an awful lot of running. For most clubs this used to just mean the bleep test. 🏃 But that’s not always the case anymore. So what do footballers do during preseason? https://t.co/sOekFSV4nr

Fantastic thread on optimising learning from SSGs. Let them play is about your observations and skilled interventions/adjustments. Learn more 👇

Useful free coaching resources 👇
🗣Personal experience. When I first started coaching, I spent years a bit lost and confused. To improve my team, I thought I needed better "drills". More tactics. Fancier exercises. It turns out, I just needed to diagnose the actual problems before implementing solutions. But

Session design should always align with the primary learning objective – whether the aim is technical refinement, tactical understanding, or game-realistic application. Effective sessions typically follow a progressive structure: ➡️Example 1 – Technical Focus (e.g., passing &
