SYDNEY HORIZONTAL BALL MOVEMENT

This 5min video looks at and explains Sydney moving the ball horizontally, by hand, v the Pies Friday night.

In junior/local footy the ball moves vertically 99% of the time and by extension, makes it extremely easy for the opposition to defend and then transition into offense upon intercepting.

I also explain what this allows the other players off the ball to do and how it can really stretch the opposition.

COLLINGWOOD TRANSITION CONNECTION

 

This short 5min video looks at how quickly Collingwood transition once they regain the ball and how all 3 lines stay impeccably connected during that transition.

In the video I show how it develops, what it should look like but also what we usually see in local footy...

GAME MODELLING - OPPOSITION STOPPAGE KICK OUR FORWARD 50

 

Previous Post - Our Kick Out

New Post - Opposition Mark/Free Kick Inside our Forward 50

This is a pure formation slide which if performed correctly should really limit what player movement needs to occur apart from some minor horizontal or vertical shifting if the opposition are able to find short to medium players to pass to.

I'll go line-by-line as usual but there will probably be players from 1 line filling positions from the lines I list below, but most players from that line will be in what I lay out but refer to the image and you can plug in as many players on each line as you prefer. 

I must preface that this set up is designed to funnel the opposition to 1 - 2 dominant marking players so if you've got them, then this is a great set up but if not, then you might need something more aggressive defensively that can create turnovers closer to our goal.

Here are the basic player movements to assume the formation:

1 LINERS FROM MY RESEARCH FILES - COACHING

 

So far we've covered youth development and learning and today we look at coaching.

1. Programming Philosophy – 70 - 80% of a session is of what I know works, 10 - 15% is what I’m pretty sure works, 5% is what I’m experimenting with and 5% of what the athlete/s want
2. Player Development Profiles (Gary Curneen) – what they do + what they could do + what they want to do + when they will be ready to do it
3. Buy In – happens when players feel like their input matters, are involved in problem solving, their concerns are identified/addressed, are confident with roles/responsibilities and receive constant individual feedback
4. Mechanical Output (Gerry Defilippo) – if we improve mechanical output then operational output (times in games where we’re not at our max) is less taxing on our aerobic system
5. Coaching (Andy Ryland) – create situations, not drills...

SYDNEY v MELBOURNE GAME ANALYSIS VIDEO

A great win for my Swans last night with all the midfield injuries!

Here are 4 clips I noted while watching in an 11min video looking at:

• Sydney allowing time for player movement to keep connected as a team and to your goals
• Sydney creating space for other teammates
• Melbourne using corridor lanes off a general play contest
• Pure effort Melican play

1 LINERS FROM MY RESEARCH FILES - LEARNING

 

Last week we started this series with youth development and today we roll with learning:

1. Motor learning can increase by 20% in the first 3 – 9 sessions
2. Mistakes (James Clear) – make mistakes of ambition (failing on a big goal, creating something nobody wants) over making mistakes of a sloth (not attempting a big goal, consume instead of creating)
3. Performance (Courtney Porter) – performance during practice does not necessarily reflect learning which may emerge at a later time or under different task constraints
4. The better technical athlete will always out-do the better conditioned athlete
5. The accumulation of too much fatigue during training can inhibit the learning of motor skills...
