Inspired by the excellent work from @GeirJordet, we tried to observe the scanning and search behaviours at @Lightningfootbl last week with a dual camera angle.
Highly beneficial to explore the quality, timing and frequency of scans in an attacking practice.
Scan, Decide, Act.

We took the opportunity at Step 3, as anyone would. @ilkestontown_fc are a massive club, we never expected a complete rebuild!
We worked incredibly hard to make it work, but unfortunately it didnโt. Itโs a results based business and obviously they ainโt been good enough

Clubs are recruiting UEFA A/Bโlevel coaches, expecting big experience and strong player development backgrounds.
Yet many roles are sessional or voluntary, despite fullโtime responsibilities.
We need an open conversation about the UK coaching system.
