New Technical Practice: The Link Player
Continuing our playing out and through theme, we've added a new technical practice for subscribers focused on the link player in build-up play.
The practice creates scenarios around when the centre back should use this pass and what the role of the link player looks like in those moments, with coaching points built in throughout.

The Core: Playing Out from the Back
We've just uploaded our first playing-out practice as we begin a new focus area: The Core.
This practice is the starting point for a collection built around build-up play and coaching teams to play through. We'll be releasing the rest of the practices throughout the week before bringing them all together into a collection, so you can work through the progressions and build up the complexity and numbers at your own pace.
This is available for subscribers now. Once everything is uploaded, we'll have a live class to tie it all together.
As always, fire over any questions, and we'll make sure they're covered when we go live 👊

Michael Carrick Collection: Complete! 🎉
We've just added the final two practices to the Michael Carrick collection. Transition practices 9 and 10 are now live.
That wraps up the full set! Thanks to everyone who's been working through these sessions with us.
Next up, we're planning a live class to dig deeper into some of the key concepts from the collection. If there's anything you've been wondering about, a specific practice, a tactical detail, why we set something up a certain way, send your questions over and we'll tackle them live.
Drop your questions below or send them our way, and we'll see you in the live session 👊
We have added 13 in-possession practices to the Michael Carrick Training Methodology.
This takes the collection to 173 videos and animations. We have a few more to add over the coming days.
This is available to all Tactx subscribers. We will be following this with a class on how some of his concepts translate from the training ground to the game.
A further five practices have been added to the Michael Carrick collection.
These wave practices are brilliant for creating different overloads/underloads in the same practice and can be useful for coaching defensive and attacking transitions.
Available for all subscribers.
