Moved to Spain, completed two masters in Elite coaching and sports Psychology in Spanish, completed all Spanish coaching qualifications and won a few titles along the way.
Then got signed to Villarreal CF.

You may all laugh, be surprised by this but as a coach at a Spanish club, I can tell you.... He is much better than you think. Spain played an outrageous amount of crosses against Georgia, but hey. Twitter knows better.
DEFENSIVE STRUCTURE - "Compression & Decompression"
The world of football is full of attacking ideas, tricks tips. Attack wins games, BUT defence wins leagues. 🧵
A thread with defensive training exercises. Analysis of two of the best Def structures. 🔝
When 5 years ago they laughed, when I told them my dream and they said..'be realistic.'
Tell me I can't do something, tell me it won't happen, I dare you.

As I see the applications for UEFA in the UK. I'm so grateful for the opportunities that Spain has given me. It will be difficult for some of you, my only advice is to find a way.
I'm sure many of you have seen this before, but the truth is 99% of the conversations/articles I read regarding this are void of practical information. So lets avoid the fluff in this thread

Tactical identity - How to get your players to learn/buy into/participate and even contribute during training sessions. Practical examples below.

Chaos in training - One of the founding principles or tactical periodisation is chaos. A quick thread of why drills that look too clean will restrict learning.🧵

A good example is the drill below. Nothing special, but if the midfielders can't receive the ball or the defenders can't filter the ball through, then just make the square bigger/reduce difficulty.

I analyse why Liverpool have a midfield problem when Thiago isn't playing, and what they need moving forward!!!
Thanks to the wonderful

chats through how Trent Alexander-Arnold has changed his role this season!
Has he become the new David Beckham?

Culture vs The Best Coaches in the WORLD!!
Why culture wins 99.9% of the time. 🔝
- A thread 🧵🧵
Clubs should hire based on cultural experience, not success, and let me explain why!
@Zonal_Marking
I think it depends on your reason for watching football. Tactically superb games, technically, poor. The days of mazy runs through the middle are long gone, the wonder goals are far less frequent, as all the goalkeepers look like they ate the 90's GKs.
@Jon_Mackenzie
From a coaches perspective, this is hard to see. What exactly it represents is difficult to know without all the information. However, I see a pass map that needs to go to hospital.
@stirling_j
The core problem you've got Jamie, is that people find it difficult you've coined this term. However, if a top manager comes out tomorrow and uses it then they'll very quickly adapt. I don't believe it's your definition that is the issue.
Liverpool Academy boss Alex Inglethorpe on working with players - Engage, challenge, support.
As coaches we're all probably great at challenging, but are we providing enough support? Are we building rapport and encouraging our player to engage?
1.2 Players should be challenged regularly to explain in the training session to their teammates., I usually select 3 players each week who have the responsibility of taking two minutes with the head coach beforehand, communicating, and understanding.
🇩🇪📢 Union Berlin ultras spoke to their players after the 1-0 loss to Napoli yesterday and 9 consecutive defeats...
"You lost to Napoli who had only 1 shot on target, come on! We are living the dream in the Champions League." (

Finally, 1.6 - Use feedback in sessions to ask players questions, probe them, to regulate learning, and ask them how other players could improve, not just themselves. Quick/sharp feedback. Don't overtalk.
@ground_guru
I think its a cultural issue. In other countries, going to new places, coaching in different environments is a huge plus.
When was the last time a young English coach who wasn't a big-name ex-player got a push?
The aim is to create cognitive (mental) DIFFICULTIES. Make them think, so to do that, make things easier/more difficult mid-session, it improves learning speeds, keeps players on their feet and keeps it fresh.
1.2.1 - Players should be able to debate, discuss, argue and eventually agree with your tactical discipline. It should be an open dialogue, an open conversation. Freeze them out and they won't understand, they will resent the instructions.
@SundayShare10
How do you give them information without overloading? How to create more tactically aware players? How to create players who can speak, communicate, demand and dictate play all at the same time? It's all about the cognitive challenge we give the players!
