Post match team talk - what do you say?

David Saunders

After a match (u13 girls) my inclination is to say a quick positive well done, give individual praise and let my team socialise which they love. Coaching points can wait until training.

I also apply the rule 'don't discuss the game in the car on the way home unless the player starts the conversation'.

But I often see teams quite formally get together after a game for a while whilst the coach is talking.

Do you do a post match talk and what do you say? What can we as coaches say post match that will benefit players?

    Some great points Dave. I ask the players what they thought went well and what they could improve on. This is similar at half-time, where I also ask how would you rate yourself out of 10. Then can share their score if they wish. I then say, if you scored yourself at 7, for instance, what would you have to do to gain an 8. Gets them thinking for themselves and then finding solutions. works well for us. something you may consider
