Game Insight Training & Football Technique Training to develop more ‘creative’ players
Although football players have to make thousands of bigger and smaller decisions during the game, the concept of ‘decision making’ is missing in the traditional and incorrect reference of ‘technical, tactical, physical, mental’. The reason for this is that decision-making is traditionally also considered to be ‘tactical’. A player who excels at making good decisions is often incorrectly called a ‘tactically strong player’. The term ‘tactical’ has to do with strategy at team level which is something completely different compared to the decision-making by an individual player. Terminology like ‘individual tactics’ is incorrect. In reality, coaches are referring to the individual intentions players try to accomplish with the help of their game insight.
The fact that decision-making by a player is traditionally swept under the ‘tactical carpet’ explains why many coaches cover both aspects during tactical training. One moment they coach how two or more players have to ‘communicate’ better to reduce misunderstandings. The next moment they coach the decision-making by an individual player. As coaching at team level is less difficult than coaching the specific details within the decisions of individual players, most coaches pay more attention to the first aspect during tactical training resulting in the underdevelopment of decision-making. The development of game insight of individual players will be snowed under. This is especially disastrous for youth player development if youth coaches mainly coach at the team level. This may also explain why in many countries people complain about a lack of so-called ‘creative’ players. In other words, putting decision-making under the ‘tactical carpet’ has resulted in a lack of exceptional decision-makers. This is like a self-fulfilling prophecy.
In this course, we will try to contribute to the solution for the above problem by introducing guidelines for ‘game insight training’ and ‘football technique training’, for coaches to develop better decision makers and, therefore, more ‘creative’ players.
