players / Practice notes
See it before
you receive it.
Scanning is about collecting useful information. It helps you understand what is around you before the ball arrives.
Look for useful information
Notice pressure, teammates and available space. A quick look should help answer a game question, rather than become an empty habit.
Connect the look with a choice
Ask yourself what changed after you looked. Could you receive on the move, protect the ball or play a quick pass? The decision still depends on the game.
Reflect on one moment
After playing, recall one situation where seeing earlier helped — or might have helped. Keep the reflection specific and useful.
BRING IT TO YOUR GAME
Football: notice the pressure and the next passing option before receiving. Gaelic football: notice support, space and the pressure around the next possession.
Take it to the pitch.
In a suitable practice, choose one receiving moment to discuss: What could you see? What changed? What did you decide?
General learning ideas. Adapt practice to the players, their age and experience, and your coaching context.
coaches / Practice notes
Start with
the game problem.
A busy session is not automatically a purposeful one. Start by identifying the game problem you want players to understand.
Name the problem
For example: how can we create a passing option when the player on the ball is under pressure? Be precise enough to shape the practice.
Create relevant decisions
Use space, player numbers and rules to bring the problem to life. Keep checking whether the activity is producing the decisions you intended.
Ask, observe, adjust
Give players room to solve the problem. Ask what they noticed, then adjust the practice when it stops serving the learning purpose.
BRING IT TO YOUR GAME
Football or Gaelic football: start with a situation your players recognise from their own game. Ask what information they need and which choices your practice makes possible.
Take it to the pitch.
Write one sentence before your next session: “This practice helps players recognise… and decide…”
General learning ideas. Adapt practice to the players, their age and experience, and your coaching context.
clubs / Practice notes
A shared language.
A clearer direction.
A development philosophy becomes useful when people can recognise it in the way a club works.
Choose a small set of principles
Agree a few clear ideas about the player experience and the way coaches support learning. Avoid a long list that nobody remembers.
Translate ideas into actions
If the principle is player ownership, what will a player actually get to decide? If it is purposeful practice, what will a coach plan and review?
Keep the conversation going
Use short coaching conversations and reflection to understand what is working. Consistency grows through shared practice, not a document alone.
BRING IT TO YOUR GAME
Across football and Gaelic football, make your language specific enough that players and coaches can recognise it during a session.
Take it to the pitch.
Choose one club principle. Ask three coaches what it looks like during a session. Use their answers to make it clearer.
General learning ideas. Adapt practice to the players, their age and experience, and your coaching context.
Learn. Improve. Understand.
Make your
next move.
For the player you want to become.
The coach you want to be.
The club you want to build.
