David Gregson No problem at all, David! These are the conversations we love to have. It's all about sharing ideas and knowledge.

Is there a specific system match you have in mind? Addressing this scenario can vary slightly across different systems, but the underlying principles remain the same.

We are currently developing videos to address performance issues for the high-pressing pack, and I will ensure we cover these scenarios as well.

Thank you again for your support - Tactx

Morning, David

In this specific scenario, the outcome is heavily influenced by your own identity. There are numerous principles within our high press, low press, and defending categories that address these two aspects: pressing to prevent and shifting to screen central areas. These strategies will aid you in focusing on the key details.

We plan to create a piece on this for our tactical analysis page in the near future.

Good morning, David.

If the opposing team's deep-lying pivot (CDM) drops back to the defensive line, we would consider keeping pressure on them since we could maintain equal numbers in the central areas.

However, this strategy depends on your team’s approach during this phase of the game. If the opposing team's pivot (CDM) is capable of breaking lines, a decision needs to be made: press to prevent their options or maintain a +1 advantage to shift and screen passes through central areas.

Let me know your thoughts, and we will consider putting a piece together for this scenario.

Goalkeeping practices will be going up in the next week.

Hi David,

The Red Bull Overplay model is a great one for this. There’s more available in the analysis section on Red Bull and Overplay.

Adrian, thank you for your question. First, could you clarify what you mean by "videos of trial days"? Are you referring to the footage clubs use when players are on trial?

Secondly, in terms of player assessment, each club tends to have a slightly different approach to individual development plans. However, most clubs follow the four-corner model, which focuses on technical/tactical, physical, psychological, and social aspects. They often use grading systems or colour charts to gauge where a player currently stands and identify areas for improvement. They document these across many different platforms, depending on which country the club is in.

If you have any more questions, please feel free to send them our way.

Best,

Hi Martin,

We are working with a professional goalkeeper coach on the practices and are looking to start uploading during October.

Nir Danon Hi, we cannot make all of the content downloadable. We have to protect against people copying all our content to use on other platforms. 

Hi Adrian,

It's difficult to effectively convey your ideas in just two sessions. For us, it's more important to focus on the key messages within your sessions and to maintain consistency with your identity.

The 21/90 rule comes to mind: It takes 21 days to form a habit and 90 days to make it a part of your routine.

When it comes to sessions, our advice is to gather or develop a set of core practices that can be applied across all phases. This will help you become more familiar and consistent with your work.

If you review our sessions, you should start to see the consistency in the languages, which should give you some ideas.

ADRIAN SIMION DOLHA PFA 45798825 The Red Bull methodology covers 72 concepts. Introducing them to all may overload them. I would focus on the ones we have on the site. To create a habit, you must consistently reinforce the coaching points and methods. Counter-pressing can't be implemented within one or two practices; it has to become part of daily coaching. 

When introducing a specific theme, use all of the tools available. Handouts, animations, practices, and video analysis are all useful if you have them.
