If I were Michael Carrick. I would play the youth players, it may be a transition like Barcelona. Build a team, they should have enough quality, energy, and potential to survive relegation. Let the players who want to leave, or work hard to play. #trustinyouth

100%, if we remember they’re kids, not mini-professionals, and allow the 3v3 FutureFit games to develop confident decision-makers on the pitch. We guide and encourage them, and ask questions that the children answer by building their own knowledge and understanding of the game!

A lot of teams are playing up a year to avoid 3v3, but those players are missing out on an opportunity: more touches, more decisions, and age-appropriate play.

Proud to be chosen to support the FA FutureFit pilot at Formby Community FC—players thinking, making decisions and growing before our eyes. Then a competitive Pre-Academy game: goals, excitement and wow moments. One of those days that makes me dream I could do this full-time!

We don’t want to create coaches who know more drills. ▪️We want to create coaches who understand how players learn. ▪️Coaches who can design better environments. Ask better questions. Recognize better opportunities. ▪️Develop intelligent, skillful players of character. #TOVO

The cost of constant instruction Every time a coach supplies the answer, a player loses an opportunity to search for one. Instruction has its place. So does silence. Sometimes the most valuable thing a coach can do is resist the urge to intervene. #TOVO

I have been around some coaching sessions with Foundation Phase players the last couple of weeks. I’m seeing a big shift away from play/small-sided games to very, adult focused technical practices. While there is nothing wrong with moving across the spectrum, I feel…

…there is a shift away from age appropriate practices and at its core what young players want to do. They want to score goals, play game like practices, and have fun! If you get asked when are we having a game, you know something has to change. 🤔
