The Complete Guide to Futsal
I’ve spent half my life watching coaches buy expensive, glossy manuals and fancy tactical boards, only to watch their players trip over their own feet the moment the game gets tight. Most people will try to sell you a “complete guide to futsal” that looks like a NASA flight manual, filled with complex diagrams and
Kit Bag Organisation That Buys You Coaching Time
I remember standing on a pitch in mid-November, shivering in a damp tracksuit, watching a young lad try to run a passing drill while I spent ten minutes digging through a tangled mess of bibs and half-deflated balls. It’s a ridiculous way to spend a Tuesday evening, and frankly, it’s a waste of the kids’
Still Playing at Forty: What Has to Change
I’ve spent enough time on muddy touchlines to know when someone is selling you a load of rubbish, and frankly, I’m sick of seeing it. You don’t need a thousand-pound subscription to a high-tech biometric app or a diet consisting entirely of kale and expensive powders to figure out how to keep playing into your
The Goalkeeper as the First Passer
I’ve spent more Sunday mornings than I care to count standing on touchlines where the wind cuts through your jacket like a knife, watching coaches obsess over complex positional maps and expensive tactical software. They’ll spend an hour lecturing about “passing lanes” and “zone transitions,” but they completely ignore the elephant in the box. You
Planning a Season From Preseason to the Run-in
I’ve sat through enough coaching seminars to know that most people treat the concept of how a football season is planned like they’re preparing for a moon landing. They’ll show you glossy spreadsheets, complex periodization charts, and high-tech software that costs more than my first car, all to convince you that “strategic scheduling” is the
Coaching Alone: Setup That Saves You Ten Minutes
I remember standing on a waterlogged pitch in mid-November, clutching a clipboard like a life raft, while twelve eleven-year-olds decided that the best use of their time was seeing who could kick a muddy boot the furthest. I had spent the previous night scouring the internet for some revolutionary, high-tech training methodology, only to realize
The Runs a Striker Makes That Never Get the Ball
I spent twenty minutes yesterday watching a clip of some academy kid being praised for his “tactical awareness,” when in reality, he was just standing in the middle of the pitch like a lost tourist. Everyone wants to talk about the flashy finishes and the overhead kicks, but they completely ignore the dirty, unglamorous work
The Complete Guide to Walking Football
I’ve seen enough “experts” on the internet trying to sell you a high-tech, data-driven complete guide to walking football that involves GPS trackers and complex physiological metrics. Give me a break. If you’re playing walking football, you aren’t training for the Champions League; you’re trying to keep your joints moving and your competitive spark alive
Playing Well at Thirty-five Means Training Differently
I’ve spent more time on damp touchlines than most people spend in their own living rooms, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that the sports science industry loves to overcomplicate the simple truth. They’ll throw spreadsheets and biometric data at you, trying to quantify exactly how ageing affects football performance as if it’s
Rotation: Managing Minutes Across a Season
I’ve sat on enough freezing touchlines to know that most of the “expert” analysis regarding how squad rotation works is nothing more than expensive guesswork wrapped in fancy terminology. You’ll hear pundits prattling on about “load management” and “optimized recovery cycles” as if they’re discussing rocket science, but they’ve never had to manage a group
