MATCH ANALYSIS I (C/F)
Analysis is the key, and often missing, part of the coaching cycle. This seminar, aimed at coaches of players aged 12-adulthood, teaches coaches how to break down the game with notational analysis. This analysis helps coaches identify strengths and weaknesses in their team’s play. This seminar reveals the hidden game to all who attend, and our typical feedback is “Wow - I will never look at the game the same way again!” Coaches receive a detailed Match Analysis Handbook to guide them through the process.
MATCH ANALYSIS II (C/F)
This seminar for coaches of players aged 14-adulthood, offers more advanced methods for match analysis, including the use of technology to assist the process. We show you how to interpret the data you collect and use it to plan your training and alter your tactics.
In this seminar we present coaches with 10 secrets to more effective coaching. Starting in the classroom, coaches then get to try the methods with constructive feedback in the field. This seminar will change how you coach and is a must for coaches of players aged 5-adulthood.
This is NOT a secret: Don't do what THIS coach does! :)

DEVELOPING SYSTEMS OF PLAY (C)
This seminar addresses one of the hardest things a coach has to do: creating a coherent system of play. We show coaches how to build a playing system that has matching elements (e.g., What goes well with a zonal 3 or 4 player defense? I want to play a dynamic attack – but what are the elements and how do I defend this way?). This seminar is geared toward coaches of players aged 12-adulthood.
