What this workshop is about

Most coaches work hard.
But many practices still don’t translate to game performance.

This workshop is about mastering the skill behind great coaching:

  • creating transfer from practice to the game
  • building decision-makers, not drill robots
  • using the Constraint-Led Approach (CLA) and small-sided games
  • finding the optimal zone of improvement (the Genius zone)
  • learning how to load & deload games & drills
  • creating the ultimate practice environment
  • designing practices with clarity, intention, and progression
  • Practical tips I learned from coaches all over the globe
  • Your Constraints Toolbox
  • My favorite small sided games

You will learn it, do it, and experience it in one day.
