Developing a Playing System – video presentation
I recently ran a presentation/workshop for a level 2 coaching course based on our ebook "Developing a Playing System - the 4 stage coaching blueprint".

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 ...

Game Day Instruction & Voice
In the modern game of Australian Football the importance of instruction and feedback on the field is just so critical. In fact the value of players who can provide these qualities are sometimes more important than their pure football ability.

Making a system work – Lombardi
Hoopthoughts (hoopthoughts.blogspot.com) has a nice short post on an excerpt from a Vince Lombardi book about practice, precision and persistence. Read the post here. This tickled my fancy because Lombardi is really referring to what makes any system of play in any sport successful - the execution of the fundamentals and the ...

I recently gave a presentation to a local club about developing and training your game style. One of the things I thought generated some good discussion was showing video footage of certain moments in games (ie turnover in your forward line) and seeing if they had a defined plan for their players to execute in ...
