Even though this is a paid membership site, I'm always reading and taking notes and sometimes something I read is so useful that I can't keep it to myself.
In these cases, where I've simply rehashed someone else's work, I'll pop it up for free because all I did was read it, and take notes from it.
Over the next couple of weeks we'll take a look back at 2023 and today starts with all of the free content posted on ART this year, including these 8 coaching articles.
These next posts are a combination of article summaries, some much shorter studies then my last post and also some short game video analysis clips.
#1 - STARTING OUT WITH A CONSTRAINTS-LED APPROACH
This post comes from a Twitter thread from an account I follow where coaches from all different sports listing their best tip son starting out with a CLA approach to training.
HIGHLIGHT - "Patience, CLA increases realist encounters in an activity but it also means less success before consistent solutions are discovered through a loop of constraints - high struggle - exploration - less struggle - solution/s."
This post was a an actual AFLW game scenario from season 7 that I put up and then asked coaches what they'd do to reach a desired outcome - I'll still stabs at this if you're up for it.
HIGHLIGHT - Coaches helping coaches is always a personal highlight for me!
#3 - COACHING ISSUES WITH A CONSTRAINT LED-APPROACH
This article is again a bunch of notes taken from a Twitter thread from the same coach as above, this time asking coaches about the issue they have with implementing a CLA to training.
HIGHLIGHT - Knowing that you'll run into road blocks when you're coaching goes under a major overhaul, and that it happens to literally everyone, but at least you're trying to grow as a coach and not just rehash out-of-date coaching practices where any success you might have is mostly in spite of how and what and you're training your players - but if I choose one from the list in the post I'll go with "Letting go of short term success to strengthen long term growth."
#4 - COLLINGWOOD PRESSING DEFENSE VIDEO
This post contains a short video I made looking at Collingwood yet again implementing team defense where they press from the front, what it looks like and why it is so effective.
HIGHLIGHT - Premiership winning Collingwood indeed showing that training can transfer greatly to games if game representativeness is optimal - if you've seen the activities they use at training then you'll definitely see huge similarities in how they play.
#5 - THIS HAS TO BE THE NAIL IN THE COFFIN OF CONE-BASED TRAINING DRILLS
I'm clearly willing to die on the hill of getting rid of cone-to-cone drills from all footy training and this post from the book I later posted a shitload of notes from, did the best job I've seen of backing up why this HAS to happen.
HIGHLIGHT - "When you ask an athlete to perform a decoupled task where they are perceiving without action, they will be using a different parts of the brain (the vision for perception/ventral stream) then they will be when they play their actual sport (the vision for action/dorsal stream)."
#6 - COLLINGWOOD POST DIRECTORY
58 Craig McRae Quotes, 68 Training Activities Used by Collingwood in season 2023 (13 Small Sided Games, 20 Isolated Skill Practice Activities, 34 Game Play Activities, 1 Conditioning Activity) and 12 Game Video Posts.
HIGHLIGHT - 3 PDF products full of training activities that Collingwood literally used in the pre and in-season training periods to take them to the 2023 AFL Flag.
#7 - THE CULTURE AT MELBOURNE FC
This post came about after listening to the train-wreck that was the Simon Goodwin and Gary Pert doing an interview on SEN after the Clayton Oliver stories came out at season's end, taking excerpts from the interview and them me adding my thoughts to them.
HIGHLIGHT - ""I’m not buying it, to both of you...I hear what you’re saying bit it’s not playing out like that, the way we played in the back half of the season, the discipline, the blues – it doesn’t add up to a 40 year best standard of culture..." - Garry Lyon.
#8 - SPORTS COACHING OPINIONS TWITTER THREAD
For those who aren't super familiar with Twitter, if you only go on there every now and then then it can definitely be a complete cesspool of toxins but if you simply use as an tool to gather information like I do, then the content you're after will come up far more often then all the other bullshit that goes on there. This is a 3rd post using comments from a Twitter post but this time from a different coach, asking coaches to voice what opinions they have that are outside of the norm in the coaching game.
HIGHLIGHT - "Engagement + Participation + Fun + Motivation = Player Retention."
