Comments: Adam, I am pleased to inform you this is a pass at A Licence level, well done. The game was managed throughout, and at all times you positively coached your players. Your session was developed to work more globally on all build up phases which meant a more variable approach to interventions. This is a long-term approach and works well when trying to develop teams and individuals within the team. In some ways, it is like working on 4 or 5 different session’s objectives that are linked rather than breaking them down into chunks. While there are many ways, we can develop players this is certainly a method that is effective. The session did take a natural course and more often the through balls were directed into the wide areas, which was the easier option. The documented passing exercise showed more central penetrations when this happened in the game a solution for 9 was to drop and show for the ball or make a run in behind. A little more focus on how a through ball could be successful centrally would have added value to the session. Looking for more successful passes into AM would have progressed the session to another level. The concern is if we only go down the path of letting the players decide than easy options will be taken, more difficult ones are not due to players needing to learn more about solutions to complex situations, learning is not meant to be easy. It is then made more difficult because players also need to think collectively in these tactical situations. Ultimately we want to create players who can make decisions, but we must develop the right level of resistance at the right times in their development. If we don’t when they come up against teams at a higher level, they will struggle to find the right solutions. At some point, you will also need to develop a more performance-based approach, a shorter term approach to an upcoming game. Continue to develop bothe methods, find a mentor who understands game resistances. Former players often have a great instinct for what a game should look like, even players who have not gone down the coaching path. Overall great work
Practical Coaching Assessment Form Actions: Continue to develop your coaching style, continue to improve your players. Assess the resistance levels in sessions; this is critical to player development. The competition sometimes is not high enough to develop players, so training becomes even more important. If you have ambitions to be a Professional Diploma coach a more performance-based approach will be needed. At the highest level, teams will plan to stop many parts of your game with success if you are not prepared. Getting to the middle third can be an impossible task if you don’t have a collective approach. So topic that require a ball in behind will require extensive work on playing through specific presses or start higher up the field. Competent Assessor
