Thibaut REVEL We try to develop practices that include both. An example would be a build-up practice where the players can recognise how to find a free player in a 3v2 scenario. This would bring out the 'finding a team-mate' who is facing play while also developing back-pressure skills that players would inevitably find themselves in.

HI Thibaut,Individual development to team development (game models etc) should be a on a sliding scale depending on age and stage of development…..younger years should have more of an individual focus (where 1v1 back pressure should be more developed for example) with tactics and game models introduced slowly….that sliding scale will tip more towards game models and tactics as player get older…..just bare in mind that how you want to play as a team will depend on the quality of your individuals

Hi Alex. 

We are currently working on this, and it will include season plans based on the number of sessions available throughout the week. 

That will be part of a game model, while we are also working on an individual model that will allocate resources to players within the group.

Should be in working order now.

Glad you enjoyed it Patrick. 

Thanks for the feedback, Thibaut,

Yeah, we like that idea, and it makes sense. A reward for retaining, too!

It's another condition the players will need to become accustomed to, which may cause confusion initially, but once they are familiar with it, it will certainly work.

Sorry, just seen this Ross.

We haven't planned on it. We will see what footage we can get and either put a thread together or open a discussion.

Anything of particular interest to them?

Hi Nick,

We may change the title of this, as the practice is more aimed towards defensive organisation than transition. The transition is used to maintain the flow of the practice (enabling quick setup as teams change roles). You are right in that it is difficult for the defending team to recover, but it does create a habit of sprinting back.

The two yellow bibbed players are passive. This is to put the defensive and midfield units in game scenarios where central progression has been prevented, and play has been forced around. This is the purpose of the practice, in our opinion, how the defensive and midfield units defend when play has been forced wide. Obviously, we can't see or hear the actual technical coaching detail, but the practice provides this constant scenario. 

Let us know if you have any further questions.
