๐Ÿšจ Your brilliant session plan might fail before it begins...

Not because of your coaching, but because of environmental factors you overlooked.

Some you can control, others you can't.

Let's explore what you should be mindful of... ๐Ÿงตโšฝ๏ธ๐Ÿ€ Image
Environmental factors in coaching aren't just about the weather.

They include:

โ— Physical environment
โ— Social dynamics
โ— Psychological atmosphere
โ— Temporal elements

All impact your session's effectiveness. Let's break these down.
Factor #1: Weather conditions โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒง๏ธโ„๏ธ
Uncontrollable, but predictable:

โ˜€๏ธ Heat? Consider hydration breaks & lower intensity
๐ŸŒง๏ธ Rain? Have indoor backup plans
โ„๏ธ Cold? Extended warm-ups & continuous movement
๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ Wind? Adjust technical activities accordingly

How do you adapt to weather challenges?

๐Ÿ“šThe Louis van Gaal leadership masterclass: How one coach built WINNING teams at Ajax, Barcelona, Bayern & Man United using principles that work ANYWHERE.

His system creates champions through brutal honesty and total accountability. I've decoded his methods for you here. ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡ Image
What seriously struck us about van Gaal: At Ajax, he framed "Quality is the exclusion of coincidence" on his office wall. When players won the Champions League in '95, he took the trophy to the LAUNDRY ROOM and told staff "this one is for you too!"

โžŸ His vision always includes EVERYONE from stars to support staff.
The massive mistake leaders make: thinking popularity equals effectiveness.

โžŸ WRONG.

Van Gaal transformed Ajax, Barcelona, Bayern & United by prioritising CLARITY over likability. He'd tell you directly: "If you want success, you must have courage to make unpopular decisions BEFORE problems arise."

The English FA just announced major changes to youth football from 2026/27. As a youth coach, I'm genuinely excited about what this means for player development.

Here's why... ๐Ÿงต Image
The biggest change? U7s will start with 3v3 instead of 5v5. Here's what this means:

๐Ÿ“ˆ More touches (300% increase)
๐ŸŽฏ More 1v1 situations
โšก๏ธ More decisions
๐ŸŽฎ More involvement

This isn't just change. It's evolution.
Look at this progression:

โ— U7: 3v3 โ†’ More ball contact
โ— U8-U9: 5v5 โ†’ Basic positioning
โ— U10-U11: 7v7 โ†’ Game understanding
โ— U12-U13: 9v9 โ†’ Tactical awareness
โ— U14+: 11v11 โ†’ Full game

Each stage has a purpose.

"I aim to complete my UEFA B License but wasn't sure what to expect......."

Here's a snapshot of what's covered and what you need to know ๐Ÿงต Image
The course breaks down into 3 key practice types:

โžŸ Lead-in practices (focus on technique + decisions)
โžŸ Small-sided games (8v8, 7v7 etc)
โžŸ Attack v Defense practices Each needs specific coaching points and clear player objectives
You'll need to understand these possession principles:
๐Ÿ”น How to coach penetrative play
๐Ÿ”น Creating space (before/between/beyond opponents) ๐Ÿ”น Movement patterns
๐Ÿ”น Support positions & angles
๐Ÿ”น Individual vs collective creativity
