1 COACHING TIMES Third Online Edition - January 2013 St Georges Park Special...

2 2 COACHING TIMES The Future game... In 2010, The FA launched The Future Game, The FA Technical Guide for Young Player Development. Two guides, one for the grassroots and one for the elite game, were published outlining a playing and coaching philosophy for the future of the English game. The vision: players and coaches The Future Game vision is intended for the whole game, with the same underpinning values applicable for coaches from grassroots to elite level. A vision for players: To produce technically excellent and innovative players with exceptional decision-making skills A vision for coaching: To train, develop, qualify and support more innovative coaches, who are excellent teachers of the game Innovation is a theme embedded in both vision statements, underlining the aim for a more progressive and original approach to player and coach development, one which understands and predicts the trends and demands of the ever-changing modern game. Background The Future Game, The FA Technical Guide for Young Player Development, published in 2010, outlines a philosophy and vision for the future of youth development in English football. Central to the message are the principles of creativity and innovation, for both coaches and players, and a playing philosophy based on quality passing, possession and building play through the three-thirds of the pitch. Out of possession, the philosophy calls for a tactical approach to defending in which all players contribute. Numerous reasons prompted publication. At the highest level of the men s game, there was a belief that English players had fallen behind their global counterparts with regard technical competence and decision-making capability. Statistics backed up the notion; other than success at the U17 and U18 European Championships in 2010 and 1993, England had not won an international competition, at any level, since the World Cup in Other factors also contributed. With the d e v e l o p m e n t of the Premier L e a g u e and the significant influence of foreign coaches and players, the landscape and culture of E n g l i s h football had changed unrecognisably to that of the early 1990s. European and international football, the arena in which young English players must compete, had accelerated too. Above all, there was some feeling that in comparison to other high-performing countries at international level, England lacked a DNA, or clear vision for the future development of elite youth players. The publications provided this response answering a growing number of calls for The FA to outline its beliefs on how the game should be played and how young English players should be developed. The communication of The FA playing philosophy also serves to respond to a number of misconceptions. In some quarters it is still believed that The Football Association coach education pathway champions a direct method of play, based on a long-ball approach. This is not the case. The Future Game DVD The FA Licensed Coaches Club have partnered with TactX, a 3D coaching animation tool used on UEFA s training ground website, to animate the practice syllabus from The Future Game, The FA Technical Guide for Young Player Development. Over 100 age-appropriate practice sessions have been animated and are included on a new DVD-Rom available to all Licensed Coaches Club members. The Future Game - Live Coaching Sessions Featuring exclusive footage of FA National Coaches delivering practical sessions from The Future Game at St. George s Park, The FA s new National Football Centre, three digital resources have been developed. Each has an age-appropriate focus for coaches working with players of different ages. - The Foundation phase - players aged The Youth Development phase - players aged The Professional Development phase - players aged Each resource features several hours of age-appropriate coaching footage including defending, attacking and goalkeeping sessions.

3 Third Online Edition: January COACHING PSYCHOLOGIES EACH Month this page will contain Interesting tit-bits regarding coaching psychologies... Learning to Cope... systematically. If we can give How the role of psychology is playing a larger part in the development of young players. Dr Matt Pain, The FA s Research Manager for Psychology, smiles and admits there are very few players who possess all five. Pain is outlining the ideal psychological skills of the very best football players. He describes them as the 5 C s. We are looking for commitment, communication, concentration, confidence and emotional control. There are probably not that many who have all five, but you won t get away with being in the pro-game with missing too many of those. If these skills were common amongst all players, the role of the coach would be to solely focus on football issues. But of course, they re not. more coping skills to the coaches so they can understand how to transfer those to the players, young players will hopefully develop these qualities as they go through their career. The FA s new Advanced Youth Award provides a dedicated focus to developing psychological skills. Pain, who is the lead tutor for the psychological corner, explains that through a mixture of theory and practical work coaches can become skilled in adding a psychological element to their coaching practices. Pain stresses that improving the psychological skills of young players shouldn t be left to chance. In the same way that a young player can practise their passing, first-touch or shooting skills, they too can develop the coping strategies that will help them perform more effectively on the field of play. Pain added: We are trying to help coaches work towards developing those skills in young players intentionally and We give coaches an awareness of firstly what the qualities are of an elite player mentally, and then drip in some ideas of how they can help their younger players work towards developing those qualities in practices. Our ideal model of a day is [firstly] inside discussing and working on an aspect like communication, showing practices, talking to coaches and showing them how they can intentionally work on that area of psychology. We then take that out onto the pitch in the afternoon so they can get that hands on experience of working that area of communication into their practices and then feeding back to them and helping them get better added Pain. The psychological corner is part of The FA s four corner model for player development. To listen to FA tutor and consultant Merfyn Roberts discuss the social corner, click here.
