This has to be one of the best tackles made this year, anywhere in the country. 👏👏

- A roll, a dummy pass and then a precision kick. You won’t see much better. 👏👏
00:00 - Message from a coach earlier this evening. Such a simple change and yet a powerful one. 👍👏👏
- An example of game resilience: Colm Cavanagh makes a poor effort at tackling and is easily rounded. Nine seconds later and fifty metres further back, he is there to make a perfect tackle and dispossess an opponent. How many players would have given up after the initial mistake?
00:00 - Time for pressure to be applied: If you agree with the following statement, please like and retweet… Authorities must immediately instruct Gaelic football referees to take up positions which minimise their potential to obstruct attacking play.
- A squad of twenty. Fifteen are U16. Five are U14. The game starts with five on the bench. Three of these are U16. It’s very unlikely that all three haven’t been turning up for training. They are subs because the U14s are considered more skilful. This is a common scenario.
- One of the many John Morrison tricks. He printed A3 copies of action pics, laminated them for use in all weathers and set them on the pitch. Then he’d ask young footballers to have a go at copying the action. John left us 4 years ago this week and we still haven’t caught up. 👏
- “You’re laughing at me because I’m different, but I’m laughing at you because you’re all the same!” So said my friend John Morrison. He was so far ahead of us in coaching, taking us aback with his ideas, confident that we would soon see their worth...and we did. I will miss him.
- On a recent podcast, James O’Donoghue said that if a team can build two kick passes into an attack, the chances of finishing with a score will multiply. When you think of it, one of those kick passes could be a well-placed, quick kickout.
00:00 - 14 seconds…..2 kick passes…..4 fist passes…..1 goal…..and only a single bounce used. 👏
00:00 - Three or four players on Sunday using this move before bouncing the ball. Hand underneath, then turned. I haven’t seen it until very recently. Maybe I’ve just missed it being used. It certainly buys them a few strides.
00:00 - So much to admire here: A 45m carry in 7 seconds. Acceleration as he changes direction. Left hand drop for toe tap and right hand for bounce. Head up between each. Awareness of distance from goal. Balance when shooting at full pace. Space left by teammates. Shot execution. 👏👏
00:00 - Nip this immediately: Players on the pitch who excuse mistakes made by friends and influential players while subjecting others to abuse when they make the same mistakes. If you think it doesn’t happen, open your eyes and ears and act decisively.
- Clubs continue to invest up to thirty times more per year on management of their senior football team than they do on coach education. Why have so many not worked out that better coaching at underage is key to delivering a higher standard of player at adult level?
