What are your SMARTER goals? What can you bring to the session that can support the sub principles? How will you know you will have achieve your goals?
Ho w can we regain possession early, deny them time and ball? How can you frustrate the opposition? How can you disperse opposition? How can you stay in contention? What does direct play look like? When will can you share the play and frustrate the opposition? When would you use direct play to counter attack from deep into your defensive third? Where is the trigger? How can you create space? Describe your movement, How? Where? When? Why? What is happening at the moment? How is the opposition reacting to direct play? How can you anticipate the trigger? Where is the support and where can you receive the ball forward? What are your options when you receive the ball? Who might be able to help? What would be the effect of this? What are the benefits? How can you overcome the pitfalls? Do we need more time to develop this? Were our goals too global? How can we set specific goals to ensure success? Can you create a checklist to summarise the key factors?
Principle
Regain Ball Possession through Early Pressure Objectives to pursue by the team: Take advantage of the element of surprise and apply limited touches where possible; to disorganise and play forward. Counter attack quickly, assessing areas of weakness and exploiting space in oppositions defensive third. Play direct, forward to player or space, on the counter where possible, assuring possession. Support wide and high with balance. Deliver balls with width and depth quickly, penetrating behind oppositions back four. Switch play to take advantage of weaker sides, with decoy running and movement to create and exploit space. Anticipate split runs off the ball to confuse the opposition where possible. Be patient and develop element of surprise. Ensure security in the event of breakdown, squeeze, slide up and press the ball to ensure attacking organisation can be established.
Sub Principles
Support 360 Degrees: Quick movement and rotation from midfield and fullbacks to combine with attackers and help players under pressure. Assertive Behaviour and Hungry: Tight, narrow and compact to wide and high early with numbers behind the ball and overload oppositions defense. Anchor of diamond / midfield looking for security behind the attack. Authentic Leadership: Persevere and determined to take ownership, and looking for rebounds from strikers and long range shots from midfields second phase of attack. Surprise: Sudden change of tempo to take on counter attacking positions , on the trigger as early as possible, including full backs and divert defenders attention, create confusion. Aspiration: Desire and willingness to win goal scoring opportunities and ensure the team is superior in numbers. Heart and Dedication: Resiliency to bounce back, team spirit, team work, team unity to exploit free space in width and depth. Self Awareness: Positivity, confidence and empowered. Provide decoy runs to create space, for a change in direction of attack.

Communication
Thinking Constantly:
What? How? Where? When? Why?
Bringing it all Together 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Use few words Avoid jargon Make sure everyone understands Use simple language Avoid criticism, stay positive Make feedback qualitative and quantitative 7. Select effective position 8. Use TGI and points system to support success 9. Give time and allow players to decision make 10. Step back from the group and empower the players 11. Be player centred 12. Use GROW questions to establish learning framework
What you need to say? How you can say it so that it is most effective ? Where you can best position yourself in relation to the group so that everyone gets the point, and understands expectations and goals set? When will you apply different teaching and learning tools to empower the players and engage their Habits of Mind? Why will you stop the session and give support, feedback and feed forward? Give a point system to indicate success, such as 8/10 or 2/10 rather than good or bad. This will give clarity to the quality of performance.
