Throughout my junior Australian Soccer teaching profession, I coached my son’s below eight staff. After every game I might write an evaluation of the game that may turn out to be the premise of our subsequent coaching run and the pre-game staff discuss. I might word the gadgets to be addressed plus those who confirmed enchancment. Here’s what I wrote for every match.
Game 1 versus the Magpies No. 1 staff:
All this stuff wanted enchancment: rucking; shepherding; ball work on the bottom; studying to chase; studying taking part in in entrance; kicking off the bottom and contesting the soccer.
Game 2 versus the Magpies No. 2 staff:
Game 1 points had been nonetheless there particularly crowding and marking their man.
Game 3 versus the Pumas:
There was no shepherding and crowding occurred once more. They had been too sluggish to play on. Poor objective kicking means they should study to search for a goal.
Gam 4 versus the Panthers:
A little bit shepherding was starting. The gamers did not chase sufficient to get the soccer. Once more the play was nonetheless too crowded.
Game 5 versus the Vikings:
They lacked confidence towards final yr’s premiers. They had been nonetheless failing to fulfill the ball they usually want to focus on taking part in their place. There was some kick chasing.
Nonetheless they’d two good quarters with some good tackling and bumping.
Game 6 versus the Reds:
There was an excessive amount of bouncing. Ruck work wants extra apply.
Shepherding and speaking and taking part in on had been bettering.
Game 7 versus the Vikings:
Choosing up the soccer and operating to fulfill the soccer want apply. Holding onto the soccer when somebody needs to seize it off you wants apply. Studying to play on wants extra encouragement and apply.
Game 8 versus the Devils:
There was an excessive amount of “one-upmanship” towards a weaker staff with gamers usually being out of place. Gamers weren’t at all times kicking in direction of the targets 전적검색.
Game 9 versus the Roosters:
Being the person on the mark wants discussing. Gamers must be extra aggressive on the soccer with extra bumping.
Game 10 versus the Panthers:
Once more the play was too crowded with gamers nonetheless preventing one another for the soccer.
There was some good tackling
Game 12 versus the Magpies No. 1 staff:
Tackling grew to become poor once more whereas the gamers had been nonetheless preventing one another for the soccer.
Nonetheless their kicking was bettering in addition to taking part in in entrance.
Game 13 versus the Pumas:
marking your man wants work. The gamers are nonetheless ready for the soccer to come back as a substitute of attacking it. Shepherding was once more a problem.
Taking part in in entrance continues to get higher.
Notes:
Under are some observations I made relating to the progress of the staff general through the season and past.
- Taking part in towards higher groups usually saw a regression to poor expertise and taking part in habits primarily by insecurity.
- There are at all times a number of new gamers in your staff every year to stand up to par.
- When the staff is taking part in a staff they know they’ll beat, you’re going to get ball chasers and objective hungry gamers. They get overconfident as they did towards Roosters the place gamers had been operating and bouncing an excessive amount of and moving into bother.
- It appears from what’s written above that no real progress was being made. However because the yr goes in your expectations rise and also you anticipate extra success.
- On this yr, our staff was mid-field when it comes to expertise and wins. Within the below ten competitors, they made the preliminary last whereas the subsequent yr they received the premiership.
- Keep in mind success does not come shortly. It is very important train the boys the talents and methods to play the game appropriately. Success will come each for the gamers and the staff. Assist the boys to benefit from the game first and are available to adore it.
- It is very important word right here that these boys performed soccer earlier than the appearance of modified soccer, “Auskick” and the interchange rule.
- One final level: remember that there shall be some sluggish builders. Among the finest AFL gamers by no means performed consultant soccer of their youthful days. Different gamers will simply love taking part in and love the membership. These are sometimes the gamers who turn out to be the membership officers and staff sooner or later.
The publication of the diary of the games issues and progress was designed to point out new coaches that really feel they look like succeeding with their gamers to grasp that success come usually in small actions ahead and a few backwards. Maintaining the diary permits you, at season’s finish, to see you may have actually made progress together with your staff.
