Gary Piggot is yet another coach and coach educator based in soccer from England who I've referenced before in my content (as with all of these outsider coaches).
As with all these coaches I'm posting notes from, chuck them a follow and expand your coaching practices with what you can learn from them.
PLANNING
What are you trying to do?...How are you going to do it?...Why are you doing it?...Challenge/Motivation...Player Ownership...Simplicity...Core Coaching Skills
TYPES OF PRACTICE
Constant x technique, predicable, unopposed, zero/limited pressure, initial learning, builds confidence/competence, lots of touches, narrow focus, grooving technique, starting scaffold for more complex work, controlled physical outcome, low social aspects...Variable x skill, refining/maintaining current skill level, wider/less controlled physical returns, wider perceptual returns, some tactical elements, still lots of touches, wider social aspects...Random x game, unpredictable, opposed, long term learning, very wide practice of perception skills, wider tactical development, success not guaranteed initially, wide social aspects
SESSION DESIGN
Football is made up of small sided game’s all over the ground so do we spend enough time putting players into situations relevant to the position they play?...Slices of the game...For footy, a center bounce clearance is 4v4...Around the ground ball ups are 6v6 to 8v8...Defensive/forward 50 play is 3v3 to 6v6...Do players have the technical ability to carry out what we want to do tactically in and out of possession?...What attributes are needed to play their position on and off the ball?...What can they already do?...How can we help them improve in and out of possession?
G.R.O.W MODEL
Goal x what do you want to achieve, what might you be looking to change?...Reality x at what stage do you feel you are at now, what have you do so far?...Options x what can you try to improve/achieve, what might you try to do differently?...Way Forward x what are the next steps, what will you do, how will you do it, why will you do it?
SESSION PLAN
Focus x passing/receiving technique...Principles of Play in possession x penetrate, create space, movement, support, creativity + out of possession x press, delay, cover/balance, compactness, control/restraint...Technical Components in possession x passing, receiving, turning, dribbling, finishing + out of possession x interceptions, pressing, marking, covering...Tactical/Technical x receiving skills, pass accuracy, weight of pass, timing of pass, disguise of pass...Psychological x decision making, concentration, confidence, perceptual skills...Physical x movement skills, football functional skills, speed of movement, timing of movement...Social x communication with teammates non/verbally...Session Objectives x passing success over increasing pressure...Key Points x observe/ensure players are prepared to receive correctly, managing once in possession then decision making/execution...Individual x think of the position you play and can you work on/improve at this within this session...Units x not a focus here as there’s enough to think about already...Team – all players to work on the points above with little concern to actual team play
SIMPLIFIED PLANNING/ANALYSIS
Planning x what do we want to happen, where do we want it to happen, when do we want it to happen, who do we want to do it, how do we want them to be able to do it, why do we want them to be able to do it...Analysing x what happened, where did it happen, where didn’t it happen, how did it happen, who did it happen to, why did it happen
OBSERVATION
What do they before receiving (movement)?...What technique is/isn’t performed correctly while in possession?...What do they do after they’ve passed off?...What is happening on/around/away from the ball?
SKILL VIA TACTICS
Starts with decision making…Technique + Intelligent Choices = Skill…You make 100’s of decisions/game so the better those decisions are, the more effective technique becomes and these decisions are their individual tactics…In Possession x am I quicker/stronger than them, what’s their strongest side, when shall I act, where shall I go, where are my teammates – these will all help your attacking choices…Out of Possession x are they quicker/stronger than me, are they left/right footed, where are their mates, what might they do next, how can I stop it…Behind every tactical action is a decision x searching, recognising, planning, assessing, adapting and predicting so training needs to reflect that x adding real pressure, let them solve problems, ask questions over giving orders, reward bravery/decision making, encourage 1v1 moments in both directions
THE GAME
In Possession x penetration - delay - create space - movement - support - creativity...Out of Possession x compactness - cover/balance - pressing - control/restraint...Key Capabilities x scanning - positioning - technique - movement - deception - timing...Actions x before - during - after...Observations x on the ball - around the ball - away from the ball...Score Goals - Do You Have Possession? Yes - Spread Out - Play Direct? Yes - Teammate Assistance? Yes - Combine...Score Goals - Do You Have Possession? Yes - Spread Out - Play Direct? Yes - Teammate Assistance? No - Individual Skill/Creativity...Score Goals - Do You Have Possession? Yes - Spread Out - Play Direct? No - Be Patient/Individual Skill/Creativity/Combine With Teammates...Stop Goals - Do You Have Possession? No - Can You Regain Immediately? Yes - Regain and Attack...Stop Goals - Do You Have Possession? No - Can You Regain Immediately? No - Be Patient/Get Ready to Intercept or Tackle/Get into Ball and/or Goal Side Position/Team Compactness...In Possession x create options for ball carrier, create space as a team/individual, width/height/depth...Play Direct x scanning, perceptual skills, predictive skills, execution of action + move with the ball, protect the ball, manipulate the ball, finish...Teammate Assistance x over/underlap, wall pass, positioning, timing/angle/speed of movement, communication...Out of Possession x can engage the ball carrier, angle of support, speed of approach, pressure 1st touch if possible, shut down quickly, decelerate at appropriate distance, stop the ball being played forward, can you help your teammates...Can't Regain Immediately x control/restraint, scanning/timing/movement/predictive skills/deception, compactness/cover and balance, positioning/timing/movement
