there is a time on a coaches journey when they move from trying to control all aspects of practice, copy/pasting from sessions online, to embracing the random nature of the game to planning & delivering sessions that adhere to the context, this is where coaching really starts.

I find myself unattached to a club for the first time in a long while. For the rest of the season I plan on visiting clubs and people doing cool stuff in coaching - if anyone has recommendations or would be happy to host me please shout!
15/ The basic principle:
You shouldn’t have to completely re-qualify for something you’ve just proved you belong in.
Survive the World Cup → keep your place.
Fail → go back into qualifying.
& confederations earn future opportunities through World Cup performance.

Saint & Greavise speaking frankly in 1992 about the development of young kids in English football.
As usual, they were spot on.

Favelas still exist. Brazil has more coaches than ever, & players are entering structured environments younger & spending longer in them.
Brazilian futebol is not running out of talent—it is coaching the freedom and creativity out of players before it has time to fully develop.
🚨🗣 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Kaka on Brazilian football: "We're falling behind."
"We have 4 years until the next World Cup, and we need to think a lot about regenerating a project for Brazilian football."
"These World Cup moments are giving these signs that we're falling behind... We need to think about a long term project, also involving the youth categories."
"We need to try to bring back that Brazilian football DNA."

Scotland's FA published a review of how elite players are actually made.
One line stood out. The best players didn't fall in love with the game first. They fell in love with the ball.
Hours with it, 6 to 7 days a week, year round. Not 2 to 3 nights at training.
The work happens between the sessions, not in them.
