⚽️👇 Activity Description Below 🗣️ This is a practice... called ‘Rondo into Cutbacks’ from Drill Library. Play starts with a 4v2 rondo in the central area. The team of 4 in possession must complete a minimum of five passes before playing a pass into either of the two wide players positioned on the outside. Upon successfully passing the ball into the wide players, they will initiate a 3v2 attack, with the two wide players and the centre forward attacking against two defenders. If the defending team in the rondo manages to win possession while being outnumbered 2v4, they can counterattack and attempt to score in the main goal. ✅ Click below to view 700+ specialised & adaptable training activities ↙️ 💻show more

1️⃣ on 1️⃣ & 2️⃣ on 2️⃣ Closeouts Part... One - 1 v 1 Offensive player must get inside the FT line before making the pass. Defender must touch below the VB line/Charge Circle. Offense focuses on passing and relocating quickly. Ball is live once the offense gets it back. Part Two - 2 v 2 A second set of players starts high is sprints towards the corner on the initial attack. Once the offense gets the ball back it is live 2 v 2. Defense needs to be aware that they have help to only one side and should push the offensive player in that direction.show more

Hexagons and Octagons Those who follow football and coaching... will be well aware that there are trends that emerge and become the great break through in coaching, only to vanish quite quickly. A few stick around and become a staple. Such as the rondo, or the 4v4+4 Guardiola rondo variation. One that did not stick around in the coaching collective consciousness that possible should have was Thomas Tuchel’s use of hexagonal and octagonal playing areas in training sessions. Tuchel explained that cutting off the corners and angling the pitch forced “sharp diagonal” passes that would help break the press. The positioning of players outside the hexagon/octagon or players close to the edges will be manipulated into an open body shape by the angles of the pitch. Players are impacted by environmental constraints and embodied cognition, where the geography of the playing area influences their actions. This influence spreads to the creation of triangles and diamonds within the playing area due to the “funnel” like nature of the playing area. We can use the cut outside angles by placing bounce or target players on the exterior, influencing the movement and organisation internally. The inside players will not have to move wide as those areas are occupied. The internal players will seek to create passing angles using the positioning of the outside players and their internal team mates. The diamonds and triangles will appear. If we leave the spaces on the outside empty players can move to fill the spaces. These act as free spaces to receive from the goalkeeper or open spaces for attackers to overlap into, encouraging attacking combination play and crosses. A different way of using the space is to remove goals and goalkeepers from the ends and place bounce/target players on the outside. Players now can combine with the outside players, when they do so they are then free to finish into the outside goals. The condition can be extended to combining with the target player in the opposite side of the pitch before scoring, adding an element of switching play. The hexagon and octagon are versatile spaces that help to replicate aspects of the game. By funneling the spaces we impact players body shape, ability to play forward quickly, team shape (or small group shapes), players cutting in, defending centrally, the types of combination used and the angles of line breaking pass (diagonals). The angles are hugely significant for teams that value combinations and possession football, Straight passes and receiving angles are much easier to intercept and carry high risks for being counter attacked. Short diagonals can bypass players and attacking shapes, creating angled connections. If an angles pass is given away there is still a risk of being counter attacked but there is more chance of having players around the ball to regain possession. To counter press. The question that emerges is should we then be using hexagons and octagons more? If they are of greater benefit than squares and rectangles, why use them? Should all pitches, including those of a small sided nature be hexagonal? Can the rondo square be replaced by the rondo octagon?show more

"My arms aren't growing no matter how hard I... train them." No matter how hard. Yes. That will be it. Because clearly the missing ingredient is effort. Twenty sets was not enough, the four angles were not enough, the drop set at the end was not enough, and the answer is presumably a fifth angle and a whole additional evening. What your arms actually get in a normal week: - Heavy tension from every row, chin and pulldown - Heavy tension from every press, dip and close-grip - Twenty isolation sets piled on top of that - All of it at the end, when the weight has to be light - All of it at length, where damage is highest - A drop set, because they are stubborn - Four days of soreness - One training exposure, seven days later Biceps and triceps are the most damage-sensitive tissue in the building. Two small muscles with almost nothing there to absorb the work. Damage is not a growth signal. It is a repair bill, and repair spends the exact recovery you were hoping to build with. So no, they are not growing no matter how hard you train them. They are not growing because of how hard you train them. What they need instead: - One or two hard sets - Early in the session, while you can still load them properly - Twice a week - Add weight when you can Two of those sets are all the direct arm work I do. The bloke on his eleventh set of pushdowns has been at that machine since I walked in.show more

🚨🎙️Declan Rice Reveals Tuchel's Masterplan to Stop Messi: "The... manager has been preparing us for this game for a long time because you don't get many chances to face a player like Lionel Messi. Thomas Tuchel keeps telling us that you don't stop Messi by diving into tackles or trying to be a hero on your own. You stop him as a team. Every player has a responsibility—stay compact, cut off the passing lanes, don't let him receive the ball facing goal, and make every decision as difficult as possible for him." "We know he can beat two or three players with one movement, so concentration has to be perfect for 90 minutes or more. If he gets space, he'll punish you. That's why discipline is everything." "And look, this is a World Cup semi-final. Our defenders know they'll have to be clever. If that means using a bit of the dark arts every now and then—breaking up the rhythm, making things uncomfortable, taking a tactical foul when it's needed—as long as it's within the laws of the game, that's part of football at this level. You don't give the greatest player of all time an easy afternoon."show more

There are 450 players in the NBA. Of those... 450 players……maybe……38 are star players. The other 412 players are all ROLE players!! This means that roughly 85% of the players with jobs in the NBA are ROLE players. The key then to getting to the NBA and staying in the NBA is mastering your ROLE, no matter how big or small that ROLE may be. Patrick Beverley averaged 40ppg in high school while playing in the toughest inner-city league in Chicago. Beverley would not have lasted two seasons in the NBA trying to be a scorer, so he found his ROLE, and turned that into a 12 year career with $82 million in career earnings. Draymond Green is capable of averaging 18-20ppg. That is not his ROLE with the Warriors. He has turned his ROLE into a 14 year career and $228 million in career earnings. No one is asking Bronny James to be a scorer. The Lakers have FOUR scorers. Bronny’s ROLE is to be an elite defender, to knock down open jump shots, and to be aggressive in attacking on offense when opportunities arise. Bronny is growing into his ROLE. A 22-year old earning $120,000 every two weeks while working with his father who is a billionaire is a failure in YOUR eyes if the 22 year old does not average 20ppg because you are both broke AND stupid, and you don’t understand the BUSINESS of the NBA!show more

Every man lives two lives. The second begins when... he realises that he can max out hypertrophy in 15 second sets. Four or five reps build muscle. The last four or five, where the bar slows on its own whether you like it or not. That is where the high-threshold motor units finally get called up. Where the cross-bridges are attached in maximum number at once. Where the fibre takes the tension it has been waiting all set for. Mechanical tension is the only language the muscle reads. It does not have a second one. Everything either side of that is filler, and somebody is paid to sell you filler. Tempo is filler. You are 30 to 50 per cent stronger lowering a weight than lifting it, so no descent on earth is slow enough to threaten you. Drag it out and all you have done is put a lighter weight on the half that counted. The pump is filler. Lactate infused straight into the blood grows nothing. Blood flow restricted on a resting muscle grows nothing. Swelling is a feeling and it gets no vote. The mind-muscle connection is filler. You cannot instruct a muscle in which fibres to use. You tell it to contract. The load decides the rest. So: a weight where the fourth rep slows by itself. Drive it. Stop one short. Rack it. Fifteen seconds. That set has already delivered everything your three sets of twelve spent forty minutes promising. Nobody has ever built a business on fifteen seconds of hard work, so they built one on everything you could bolt onto it.show more

this is perfectly representation of what i been arguing... for with Maxey-McCain lineups, specifically with Joel Embiid these are your best 3 offensive weapons, involving your 2 best shooters, but everyone is so dynamic it fundamentally makes offense broken Maxey shooting + penetration on left side, even reggie miller commentating points out how much space Maxey created off that drive, he then kicks it to Embiid Embiid as a hub here can act as a scorer or playmaker, from the very middle of the floor, he had the 3PT shot there, or coulda even forced it in the middle, does extra pass to McCain (note that Maxey n McCain are BOTH simultaneously one pass away, defense doesn't know who's getting it) pass to McCain, who no matter what he's shooting ALWAYS draws a hard closeout, that closeout was so hard due to his spacing gravity that he then unlocks the drive, and he's such a strong finisher he draws the defense with gravity LITERALLY just how Maxey did to start off the play kicks to Embiid, process is now backwards, who again has BOTH shot + drive into middy with a smaller defender, kicks it ONE MORE to Maxey, who hits the 3 either McCain or Maxey both penetration + kick + shooting threats PG in one corner for spacing Barlow in one corner for cutting beautiful play, coming from most likely our most potent offensive lineup. VJ can slot into the McCain/Maxey/PG/Barlow role as well, although his self creation is a little weaker than McCain/Maxey, i'd rather him act in the PG/Barlow role deff not a set play that Nurse runs too, he doesn't have this creativity. this shit was prolly lowry when they saw they was on the lineup together all in all, it perfectly showcases why McCain-Maxey is such an elite offensive duo, that we need more of. as i've been saying since LAST YEAR.show more

Georgia's national figure skating team has advanced to the... final of the team event at the 25th Olympic Games in Milan. But who actually represents Georgia? - Mostly Russian athletes using Georgia's national team as a convenient way to avoid international sanctions. After Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the International Olympic Committee(IOC) imposed sanctions on Russian athletes, which triggered a mass exodus from Russia. This year, at the Winter Olympic Games, athletes from Russia and its ally Belarus were allowed to participate only under a neutral status. However, the IOC rejected most of the athletes submitted by the Russian Figure Skating Federation in pairs and ice dance(with only two exceptions: Adelia Petrosyan and Pyotr Gumenik). It should be noted that most members of Georgia's national team train in Russia(with the exception of the ice dance pair). Let's get to know them better. 🔴 Eteri Tutberidze - an ethnic half-Georgian Russian figure skating coach, best known as the coach of Vladimir Putin's favored athlete Kamila Valieva(who was later disqualified after a banned substance was found in her doping test, resulting in her victory being revoked), also coaches Adelia Petrosyan. Tutberidze herself avoided IOC sanctions by citing illness and not attending the Olympic medal ceremony at the Kremlin. Before Russia's national team was sanctioned, she showed no interest in Georgia whatsoever, openly distanced herself from anything Georgian, does not speak the Georgian language and yet today she has become one of the key figures associated with Georgia's national team. 🔵 Diana Davis - Tutberidze's daughter, competed for Russia as recently as four years ago. Before the war began, she moved to the United States and this year in Milan she is the flag bearer for Georgia!🙂 Her ice dance partner is Gleb Smolkin. Russia granted both of them permission to change sporting citizenship and unexpectedly they became members of Georgia's team. According to ISU regulations, Russian skaters are required to live in their new country for at least one year to change sporting nationality. It is unclear to what extent this rule was actually followed. They currently train in Montreal. 🔵 Anastasia Gubanova - has competed for Georgia since 2021 with Russia's permission. She trains in Saint Petersburg and the Milan Olympics will be the final competition of her career. 🔵Nika Egadze - is a product of the Georgian skating school, but years ago he moved to Moscow to train under Eteri Tutberidze and Sergei Dudakov. 🔵 Anastasia Metelkina - the partner of Luka Berulava, trains with him in Perm, Russia. After winning a European Championship title, Metelkina spoke in Russian, while Luka, unlike many others, openly identifies Georgian as his native language. 🙂And I still don't understand why the national team's uniform has been changed to blue, when Georgia has always competed in the colors of its national flag!🇬🇪show more

🚨Michael Olise on France’s approach to facing Spain in... the FIFA World Cup semi-final. 🗣️ “Let’s stop pretending everything Spain do goes through one player. Whether it’s Lamine Yamal, Pedri or Nico Williams, the danger comes from how they move the ball together. If you allow them to settle into their rhythm, you’ve already made your first mistake.” “Spain are a fantastic team, but we’re not going into this match to admire their football. Our job is to break their rhythm, win our duels and make sure they never feel comfortable on the ball.” “We’ll press them, we’ll match their intensity and we’ll make every pass difficult. In a World Cup semi-final, you don’t get time to play pretty football. Every metre has to be earned.” “People talk about Spain’s possession, but we have players who can hurt any team in transition. With Kylian Mbappé, Ousmane Dembélé and the quality we have throughout the squad, we know we can create chances against anyone.” “This isn’t about proving who plays the better football. It’s about reaching the World Cup final. We respect Spain because they’re one of the best teams in the world, but once the whistle goes, respect stays off the pitch. We’re there to win and bring France one step closer to another World Cup.”show more

June 4th, 1994 our lives forever changed. We said,... “I do!”. With those two words, we said, yes, to all the highs, the lows, and everything in between. God has blessed us with four absolutely amazing children who are now amazing adults, with their own best friends/significant others (that they’re doing life with), we have three incredible grandsons, and a beautiful granddaughter on the way. We’ve lived where we both grew up (on the East Coast), and have now been out here in San Diego for just over 11 years. We’ve gotten jobs (and lost jobs), we’ve had more times than we can count where we couldn’t make ends meet, even though both you and I were working two, and sometimes three jobs at a time, and we’ve been blessed in ways that we could’ve never dreamed of. We’ve watched both my parents pass on, and are now dealing with the overwhelmingly difficult challenge of seeing your parents struggle with their own health in ways that no one should have to go through. Through it all (even in the midst of the chaos), we’ve been blessed to be by each other‘s sides! I thank God for you every day, Jillian! I love our adventures together (the big ones where we fly to somewhere we’ve never been before, and the little ones where we hop in the car with no agenda, and just drive). I love when we find ourselves in deeper conversation, laughter, and tears of joy then ever expected, and in the moments of silence, where no words are even spoken, but when we’re together, just being where our feet are. As the world (as we know it), keeps getting crazier and crazier, let’s continue to keep Christ in the center of all we do, keep leaning on and lifting each other up when it’s needed, and keep living the lives that we have been so incredibly blessed to live together. I love you with all my heart Jillian. Happy 32nd (heading into our 33rd year), Anniversary.show more
