Insight from Justin Langer, lots to consider in terms of skill development.
🥸 The illusion of one perfect technique
👨🏻🔬Movement solutions need to be individual and functional
🗣️ Coaches don’t always need to speak!
🧩 COACHING PROBLEM SOLVERS
🗣️ You to them
👬Them to them
👂🏻Them to you
This is knockout game in the World Cup…the players are problem solving! The player AND coach co-create the solution.
I enjoyed this clip, a discussion between Kasper Schmeichel and Peter Schmeichel.
Why do players play the way they do? Skills have history!
In football, skill develops as players become perceptually attuned to opportunities for action presented by properties of the playing environment, e.g., the ball, other players, field markings, playing surface, and weather (Coutinho et al., 2016)
These "Ref Cam" clips are so good for coaches, feels like you're watching the game from a view we never see.
👀 Check the scans from Gravenberch.
🦵The shot through the legs.
🚦Sessions that look like the game, 9 defenders in the last 30m of the pitch.
This is an excellent resource for coaches.
✅ Get match realistic spaces for your players.
✅ Can be modified for rondos, SSGs or possession practices.
✅ Can be adapted to cater for neutrals / end players.
✅ Select from a variety of shapes…not just squares or rectangles.
🚨 Excited to finally share this! Hoping it becomes a helpful planning tool for coaches at all levels of the game. ⚽️

Good luck Connor! 👍🏼
⚽️ Connor Austin
Position: Midfielder
Previous clubs: West Hove Dynamos, @SteyningTown and @BHAFC_Academy
A technical player with flair in both carrying the ball and playing incisive passes, Connor stretches play with ground passes, picks clever through balls in tight spaces, and can dribble to escape pressure. His spatial awareness allows him to orchestrate midfielder rotations and break lines effectively. In possession-heavy systems, he’s a key transitional piece.
These “Ref Cam” views are ace, would be a good addition to the PL. You get a players eye level view, which allows you to appreciate the speed of play, small spaces and decisions making under pressure.
Not football, but worth a watch! 🏀
