@jarbot15 @totallaxperform @jamiemunro3 Coyle talks about time on task, but not about quality of time, or context. Having read a lot from those studying how we learn, context is extremely important. What Coyle misses is phases of acquisition and learning. Practicing under these principles (context) is game changing.

@jarbot15 @totallaxperform @jamiemunro3 US Lax is on the right path, but is still only bridging past and present. Keep in mind, most governing bodies are building athlete development models off of what a majority will buy into. Not necessarily the best model. I’m curious to hear your impression of that podcast.

@jarbot15 @jamiemunro3 Maybe 3v3 gbs against experienced players is too much for a beginner, but you can certainly teach them in a contested setting where their perception of others competing for that gb informs their attempt at that same gb. Kids learn how to do things in context.

@Mr_Tennis_Coach And try not to get sidetracked by corrections you think you need to make that have nothing to do with your established intentions.

@jarbot15 @jamiemunro3 If you listen to that podcast, Alex will describe constraints and the perception of those constraints an athlete has to determine how they approach a task. How you build a relationship with your athletes can certainly be a part of the environmental constraint they perceive.

@jarbot15 @jamiemunro3 As Jamie said, this is an example of Information Processing. While not ineffective, it is far less effective than learning the game through Ecological Dynamics. My question would be; why does a kid NEED basic instruction before attempting a contested ground ball?

@PMHSLacrosse @jamiemunro3 You will have so much more fun coaching!

@jarbot15 @jamiemunro3 I’m 100% in agreement with Coyle on his approach to team/group culture, but do not think he has a good grasp on skill acquisition. I’m not sure why ‘Talent Code’ was so popular when it doesn’t align with practices of modern movement specialists.

@Brian_Kelly19 @drewcarlsonhp And of you turn the volume up, and listen closely, you can hear his Dad yelling from the stands to do exactly this move.

@lax_coach21 @TomMariano81 I think a coach could run 4v4 games for a season’s worth of practices, never use the same constraints twice, it would never get boring, and the kids would develop extremely well.

RT @JPR_25: 4 reason players won’t engage with your session… 🏟You only play games at the end of sessions. 👀 No connection before correc…

@MovementMiyagi @thecoachjav That’s what I was getting at.

@CoachWheel @brianmccormick And lower the nets!

@CoachMattCarp Absolutely!! Encourage them, and celebrate them. Encouraging mistakes is the gateway to uninhibited play where exploration and real development occurs.

@Jm3Sports I don’t think there’s a better game to play, for applying CLA, than 4v4. The possibilities for constraints are endless.

@drewcarlsonhp Love it. Great stuff there.

@totallaxperform @Brian_Kelly19 So common.

@CoachRC23 @MovementMiyagi 100%. Every youth/HS coach seems to be looking for that silver bullet that doesn’t exist. A cheat code to win. Few take the time and effort to LEARN how athletes actually learn and develop. Any way you shake it, time and effort are all that will succeed.
