A Tactical Look At The Art Of Coaching

Leader Manager Coach Podcast

In this episode, Rob takes a tactical dive into the world of coaching, looking at the wealth of information already shared by the many talented coaches out there, plus the invaluable insight of their support staff, as well as the legacy of coaches from the past.

Football is evolving at an ever-increasing rate, and some of the philosophies surrounding it have grown alongside. This can also be seen as a reflection of life itself. But how can the lessons of coaching influence our everyday lives? And how have great teams from the past utilised effective coaching to lead themselves to victory?

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Positional play is key. This is a concept often attributed by modern fans to Pep Guardiola and the success of teams like Manchester City.
• The positional play strategy stems from the “Grandfathers of Positional Play” – including luminaries such as Juan Manuel Lillo.
• Positional p[lay has its foundations in the principles of “invasion games” and has stood the test of time, having shaped the strategies of the most successful teams of all time
• If you want to control the game, and thereby dictate the terms of the match, you have to have the ball. Possession is everything.
• Using possession effectively is when a team creates space using the ball.
• Moving the ball is not just about successful passing to your own team, but also encompasses the art of using your time on the ball to control the shape and movement of the opposition, thereby creating chances.
• If your players are in the right position, then not only can they receive the ball, but they can also rescue a “transition” moment, whereby the ball falls into the possession of the opposing team. A great coach will be able to instil this lesson into his team.
• Keeping the ball and keeping possession are paramount in order to break down the opposition's formation.
• Lessons should not only be learned from the successes of teams in the past, but expanded upon. Teams should always be looking to add new knowledge to the tried formula. We should learn the lessons of the past, but create new teachings along the way.
