Description
Individual tactics are a foundational tool for developing players who can thrive, particularly in 1v1 encounters. In this episode, FA coach development officer Matt Jones returns to Coachcast to guide us through the importance of individual tactics and how coaches can apply them to help players perform at their best. With a particular focus on supporting coaches from underrepresented groups, Matt shares how his own coaching has developed since we last spoke on the podcast and offers valuable insights for coaches. Matt shares with us how understanding and applying individual tactics can transform a player's game, and how coaches can use these tactics to not only improve individual players but also strengthen the team as a whole. Throughout the episode, we dive into how individual tactics work in 1v1 situations, both in possession and out of possession, and explore practical methods for teaching these tactics, particularly to younger players. In this episode, we cover: What are individual tactics and why are they crucial for player development? The four C's to help coaches better understand 1v1 tactics. The terminology to use with younger players to get them engaged. The three R's you can use in your sessions to encourage 1v1 tactics. How to identify and hone the unique strengths of individual players. Ways to help players bring their individual tactics from training to matchday. Matt’s top session idea and coaching tips. And much more. ⁠⁠Transcript on England Football Community⁠⁠ – (https://bit.ly/4fheBBb) ————— Do you have any coaching questions you’d like answers to?
