Presentations on Training Design & Coach Assessment
I think the power of the internet for sharing information and garnering knowledge is huge! However the potential of this in relation to quality coaching content is unfulfilled at this stage. One thing that seems missing to me is the lack of online presentation recordings from the numerous coaching conferences/courses/seminars/workshops that would be held around ...
Using video technology to improve players decision making
Inspired by some recent research on the use of video to enhance umpires decision making capacity in Australian Football, I thought I would expand a bit more on my practical experiences and demonstrate some examples of how this could work. As some may be aware I am a real advocate for using technology to enhance ...
More thoughts on developing “thinking players”
I recently produced a post on this topic and have since found some more good stuff to follow up with. First came a play in the recent AFL game between Collingwood and Richmond. This play shows experienced Richmond player Chris Newman (no. 17 in the black and yellow) looking away from the ball as ...
Developing “Thinking Players”
I recently gave a short talk to a group of year 12 students about how we go about training and playing at the elite level. I touched briefly on the importance of developing "thinking players" - players who have the ability, with or without the ball, to be aware of the important cues in the ...
Developing a Playing System – video presentation

I thought it might be worthwhile to record a screencast of the presentation and explain how we conducted the workshop. If you are interested in this topic I encourage you ...
Developing a Forward Line in AFL
The video below contains a presentation that I gave about 3 years ago at a level 2 coaching course. It relates to processes and principles for developing a forward line system in Australian Football. Like most of the content here, it is not telling you what forward system to use - that is up to ...
Coaching Style of Play in AFL – Rob Wiley Videos
Whilst this site covers all team sports it is specifically aimed at Australian Football (AFL). One of the reasons for this was that, when we started the site earlier this year, there was a real lack of quality online resources and information available. Hopefully we are contributing to wards changing that.
Our 1st Coaching E-book – Developing a Playing System
There hasn't been much action in the way of new posts in the last couple of weeks. The reason for this is we have been busy applying the finishing touches to our 1st ebook called "Developing a Playing System - The 4 Stage Coaching Blueprint". This is a completely ...
Designing drills for AFL – applying a constraints-led approach
For those following some recent posts on training and the use of game-based activities (or "game-sense", "tgfu" etc), I thought it might be useful to provide an example of a practical implementation. In the video presentation below I use Australian Football (AFL) and a handball game as a practical example of how to implement concepts ...
