- When coaching 8 year olds what is important.? To never forget that they are 8!
- Suggestions for 2019. Lets stop using the words 'elite', 'talent' and 'a product of ..'(kids are not products) in connection to kids football. They are used as a sales pitch and shameless self promotion. Remove these words and see what happens to the culture over time
- A fine ambassador for Ireland and Irish Soccer. @zack_elbo11 visits @aikungfotboll 9 and 10 year olds training tonight. He met with over 40 kids tonight and stayed for the whole session
- Amazing tifo by AIK football fans. First game of the season and over 38,000 in attendance.

00:00 - PhD over the line.Thanks @jeancote46 @PeteOlusoga for a rigorous+professional examination-review process. It wouldn't have been possible without the support of my supervisors @jameslrumbold and Keith Davids. Special thanks @DHrtin @JimiVaughan @CarlWoods25 @sheffhallamuni

- Janne Andersson the manager of the Swedish national team helps clean the dressing room after they have just qualified for the WC by knocking out Italy. #humility #sweepthesheds
- "Two touchism"-"Play with maximum two touches!!!". A typical socio-cultural resistant belief that this will improve young players due to "quick decisions"
- Delighted to see this published. Research paper I did with Keith Davids and researchers from state Uni of Rio-manipulating task constraints in small-sided and conditioned games shapes emergence of individual and collective tactical behaviours in football: A systematic review
- For those of you claiming you can spot talent in young kids and promote early selection on this basis "Steph Curry isn’t a remarkable athlete. He isn’t super fast. He doesn’t handle the ball or pass very well to stand out " theplayerstribune.com/en-us/articles…
