DNA Insights Episode 3

Coaches, episode 3 begins to look closely at the phrase "seeing possession as an individual event" and attempts to provide more clarity around the sayings; "Stay on the Ball", and also "Hide", "Manoeuvre" and Reveal" the ball. Lauren asks some great questions so here's a couple for you to think about and for you to share your own views with our growing community on here:

  • If a parent were to ask you to explain these terms because they have heard you saying them, what might your response be?
  • How confident are you in knowing what returns you get from small number practices?
  • Do you have any examples where you have put certain players together in order to manage difference?

It would be great to read your responses to these or to anything connected with our DNA Insights podcasts. I look forward to hearing from you.

  • My favourite listen of the series so far - the discussion was very sincere and relaxed but with lots of purpose, thanks both. 

    Considering explaining to parents the, ‘Stay on the ball’ terms: I would sum it up with your description that it is, ‘The springboard for other stuff to happen’...   perhaps like a baby/toddler having to learn to use their hands and play with their food, before they can learn to use a knife and fork... or even chopsticks! 

    This all makes a lot of important ‘stuff’ really clear and is such a helpful resource including the questions to reflect and discuss ideas - but this page isn’t so easy to find at the minute; I hope FA learning can make this more accessible ‘for all’ soon.

    Thanks again Lauren and Pete.
