Skills of the GameAll Skills to be thought right &
left sided, no point in merely reaching 50% of
potential
Most skills are acquired through
learning in game
situation
Biological Age Vs
Chronological Age
Skills to be thought through self
exploration & questioning of what
way a situation can be dealt with
A child who is struggling to carry out skills in match
situation or exercises, needs to be given
feedback in ‘coaching circle’
The Golden Age of Learning ‘7-11’Skill Acquisition
As a coach try to enter the mind of a child and ask what do they want???
Not trying to make mini adults
FUN
‘Shower them with
Skills’
