What makes Themba Zwane such a special player is his intelligence both on and off the ball. His off-the-ball movement is special, you can watch the clip below, he’s constantly scanning, creating angles, dragging defenders out of shape, and arriving in space at the right moments. In the PSL,...

My #SundayShare is 2 v 1 practice looking at forward passing and movement to receive. A key task is off the ball movement - players must time their run to receive in the central channel (which defenders cannot enter) to progress to the final third. Coaching points: · Positioning to receive: ideally on the half turn. · Movement off the ball: looking for space and angles to receive. · Decision-making: timing of runs and the pass. · Technique – weight of pass; also angle. · Creativity: core moves, especially blind side runs, diagonal run/straight ball and vice versa. Progression: 2nd defender can enter the zone. Nice first pre-season session with the U11 on Fri. #SundayShare The Sporting Resource #2v1

Nikola Jokic on Jaylen Brown: “He’s playing at a high level, scoring the ball, and he’s such a good defensive player too. The versatility to him is he can play both sides of the ball… he’s a really good player.”

Football is a game of time and space. And De Zerbi is a master of Timing. “Brighton is a master of passing the ball to the free man, but also knowing when to pass the ball. [..] They know how to move at the right time. [..] They have the right tempo to pass to the man free.” (Guardiola) How does De Zerbi use the Timing aspect? ⬇️

6’7 Sophomore Wing Ryan Blount is one of the most intriguing longterm prospects in D2. Blount as a true Sophomore is averaging 22/9/4 on 49/43/88 splits against some of the best competition in D2 basketball. Blount’s mix of shooting, finishing, passing, instincts, and off ball ability makes him an extremely valuable player who can impact the game with and without the ball. Blount is one of the best shooters in D2 who’s shooting 43% on 7 attempts a game and his quick jumper and ability to shoot contested makes him a strong shooting threat, he’s also skilled from the mid range and at the rim and is one of the best cutters and drivers in division 2. Blount’s ability to pass on and off the ball makes him extremely unique as well as there’s not a lot of players his age with his ability to pass the ball at his size.

DO YOU HAVE THE MOTOR TO BE THE BEST PLAYER? Players underestimate how hard it is to be the best player on a team or on the floor every night. To go out and score the ball while impacting the game in multiple ways takes alot of energy, effort, and resilience. Then, to go out and do that consistently on a night in and night out basis is even harder.

6’4 D2 Sophomore Aidan McDowell has been one of the most impressive players in D2 this season. Through his first 10 games McDowell is averaging 29/5/2 on 51/42/94 splits and is leading D2 in total scoring as just a sophomore. McDowell is one of the most efficient scorers in all of D2 with his ability to finish at the rim at a high level and shoot from three at a high level. McDowell is an elite shooter who’s shooting 42% on 9 attempts a game and he’s doing that either off the dribble, from a movement three or off the catch. He’s also a skilled driver and a cutter at the rim and has one of the highest rim pressure rates, while also drawing free throws at an elite level. There’s not many players McDowell’s age and height who have had the impact he’s had and he’s been one of the most underrated players in all of college basketball.

KEEP OFF SEASON DEVELOPMENT SIMPLE Heading in to the off season soon, we’ll see a lot of players try to get better at everything and make their development more complex than it had to be. So much of development can be solved by focusing on shooting and playing. Within the playing focusing on ball handling (getting 2 feet in the paint), finishing, decisions and reads, guarding on ball and off ball. If you play with purpose and get your shooting reps up before or after you’ll put yourself in a great spot during the off season.

There aren’t many better senior prospects in this years NBA Draft than 6’7 Minnesota Wing Cade Tyson. Tyson has been one of the most efficient players in college basketball this season averaging 22/5/3 on 53/41/83 splits and is top 5 in High Major scoring. Tyson’s ability to score off the ball at an elite level at 6’7 is extremely valuable and sought after. He’s an elite cutter who’s shooting 92% on cuts on 26 attempts, and he’s also one of the best catch and shoot shooters in the country shooting 41% on 5 attempts a game. Tyson is also a strong driver at the rim and is an incredibly efficient finisher who’s shooting 75% at the rim. As a passer Tyson has great passing vision and uses his ability to score off ball effectively and can find his teammates. Tyson’s mix of shooting, finishing, off ball movement, and passing at 6’7 is extremely valuable and hard to find. Tyson and Yaxel Lendeborg are the only players in the country who are shooting 40% from three on at least 40 attempts and 75% at the rim on at least 40 attempts as well.

Lebron on Josh Giddey: "His knock was when he left OKC was his ability to shoot the ball. Now he's shooting the ball. You can't just sag off of him, you can't just lay off of him and dare him to shoot. He's actually shooting the ball at a high clip. Chicago has a really good player in him"

How often do you see Jose Altuve get this angry and then ejected (by a rookie umpire.) Ridiculous sequence where the umpires missed Altuve fouling a ball off of his foot with runners at 2nd & third and two outs. The ball ruled in play for the final out of the inning. Just awful.

Football is the most complex sport that has many rules that the majority of fans (or sometimes even commentators) don't fully understand. I've seen a lot of misinformation and confusion last night and today regarding what an eligible receiver is and what intentional grounding is. What is intentional grounding? (see the 1st picture) If the ball is thrown to the vicinity of an eligible receiver, there is no penalty. So the next question is what makes someone an eligible receiver? (see the 2nd picture): - Anyone off the Line of Scrimmage - The farthest man to the left of the players on the L.O.S. - The farthest man to the right of the players on the L.O.S. The offense must have at least 7 players on the L.O.S. (so they cannot have more than 4 off the L.O.S.). Therefore, there are usually 6 eligible receivers in any given play (the 4 players off the L.O.S. plus the farthest man on the L.O.S. to the left and to the right). Yes, the Quarterback is an eligible player. On the Lions backed up play, Goff throws the ball toward (and in the vicinity of) two eligible players. Debate all you want about his Tight End being in the vicinity, but his RB is right in front of him and the ball almost hits him. A player running a route or blocking has absolutely nothing to do with whether he's eligible or not. There is clearly no Grounding on that play. In the 3rd Quarter, the Vikings get called for Grounding simply because there's no eligible player within 10 yards of where the ball lands. These are pretty clear cut plays.

Robert Saleh was asked why have defenses had more success against Saquon Barkley this year compared to previous seasons: “I’m gonna skip that question from a schematic standpoint. I still think he’s elite. I know his production isn’t what it was a year ago, but he’s still a damn good football player. He’s still a threat to break it anytime he touches the ball. Jeff Stoutland is still one of the best oline coaches in all of football in creating good angles and creating space for the backs. They can still run the ball as good as anybody.”

This is a genuinely great video. An American spends the entire first week of the World Cup watching football the wrong way, then explains exactly why the sport finally clicked for him. His journey is the one every new fan goes through. He started out doing what almost everyone does at first, staring at the ball and the player carrying it, waiting for something to happen. Watched that way, football looks like 88 minutes of nothing and two minutes of chaos. Then he stopped watching the ball and started watching the system. What are the other ten players doing right now? Who is dragging a defender out of position? Who is quietly closing down a passing lane thirty yards from the action? The moment you stop following the ball like a puppy chasing a tennis ball, a completely different game appears. That is the next level. And this is the part I want to add for everyone making the same discovery this summer. When you watch all eleven players and the tactics underneath, the ideas each team is trying to impose on the other, you enter a dimension that has nothing to do with counting goals. A 2-1 scoreline sounds almost insulting if goals are your only currency. But a goal in football is not a point on a scoreboard. It is the end product of an enormous collective effort, sometimes twenty passes deep, built on runs that never receive the ball and pressing that started in the opponent’s half three minutes earlier. Ten men work in the shadows so one man can finish in the light. That scarcity is exactly what makes a goal detonate a stadium of 80,000 people in a way few things in sport can match. So to everyone watching the world’s most beautiful game for the first time this month, whether you’re in America, Europe or anywhere else on the planet: welcome. Every single one of us started out staring at the ball. The game simply rewards you the moment you look up. Stay connected, Follow Gandalv Gandalv
