In issue #43 we covered the start of the 21 Days of Positive initiative from the English FA. This is now complete and here are the second set of videos - very much worth watching:

Day 12: A learning warm-up
Day 13: Learning review
Day 14: The third-half
Day 15: Person before player
Day 16: What are we good at?
Day 17: Effective questioning
Day 18: Engage in conversation
Day 19: Before the game
Day 20: Half-time reflection
Day 21: After the game

And talking about positivity, what about this?

Northfield JFC have asked all of their teams to start shaking the referees hand before a game. Heard too many stories about young ref’s not doing anymore due to lack of respect. We have told the kids, no ref - no game. We started today @KJFDL #referee #respect #tagaref

💡 Idea of the week

From last weekend’s France v Italy rugby union match: the French team doing a breathing exercise after scoring. Worth giving it a “try”?

Coach NC @coachneilconnor

Does anyone else know why the French National Team are doing a group breathing exercise after they score a try? I see lots of teams going though tactics etc. but not this? #rugby #France

I hope you enjoyed this. Have a great week!
