📖 Topic of the week

A simple infographic arguing against coaching young players to rely on long balls. Which makes tons of sense - although it’s also about making the right decision at the right time.

💡 Idea(s) of the week

Finally, not 1 but 53 pieces of advice in the form of quotes from fellow football coaches.

“At a young age they have to play and play as much as possible. Let them play day and night and let them make mistakes. Then, some advice to help them understand how we play the game is good.” — Pep Guardiola

“In the absence of feedback, people will fill in the blanks with a negative. They will assume you don’t care about them or don’t like them.” — Pat Summitt

“It’s not what you say, it’s what they hear.” — Jon Townsend

Have a great week!
