Walk more. In our culture, hard work is demanded. Run, and put in a “shift”. Soccer, viewed as a job with performance & positional “responsibilities”. An individualized, neo-liberalist society riddled with selection pressures will lead to “work” in the form of excess running.

📝 An example of bad coaching IMO is when we demand players to play “quicker” when they are on the ball. It’s even worse when (often the case) the coach is not attuned to the unfolding opportunities in the game at said moment. Foster functionality, not blind “quickness”.

Skill: Is not knowledge or competence in an individual. Skill is witnessed as a relationship between an individual and it’s environment. Key to this distinction is that knowledge is IN that relationship, “knowledge of” the environment (Gibson). It’s not just IN an individual.

It’s time to make soccer in the US about developing our youth, not maximizing capital. Scrap it, come up with something new, and subsidize.

"Being Water" 🌊 "Classical forms dull your creativity, condition and freeze your sense of freedom. You no longer ‘be,’ but merely ‘do’ without sensitivity (Lee, 1975, p. 22)." ❔💡 "Instead, learning designers could harness ideas of direct learning in ecological psychology" 1/2

Can you play through, around, or over?( @JimiVaughan @markstkhlm ) It’s deep. Amongst these, there are metastable regions of affordances. ( @bigpicsoccer ) In the clip toward the end, watch how the opponent closes “through”.. which opens opportunity for “around”.

It’s far too common that children believe they are “too good” to play with their peers, and would rather ‘train’ alone instead of play and express themselves. When our systems separate children and tell some they are worth more than others, what do you-🧵

Think he learned to play & express himself in a coach centered environment surrounded by early developers? W/ coaches using tactically periodized sessions while under pressure to win league/tournament games at 8-12? Are we making room for creativity more than we are killing it?

If people block you when you ask them questions, and those people are trying to sell you content & programs to employ upon infants suggesting they have the formula for making “elite athletes”..these are strong indicators they don’t have children in their best interest.
