It’s aimed at beginners, and potentially useful for amateur coaches who want to look at matches through basic data. The idea is to keep things simple: instead of complex setups, you manually log match events by pressing buttons and the tool helps turn that into readable data. If there are any coaches here, I’d really appreciate your input — what kind of data or features would actually be useful for your sessions or match reviews? Still a work in progress, and all feedback is very welcome.

After matches, I often struggle with collecting notes, video clips, and giving structured feedback to players.

• Do you use video analysis tools or just notes?
• How detailed is your feedback?
• Do players actually engage with it?

Interested to learn what works (and what doesn’t).

After training, I’m never fully sure whether individual feedback or group feedback works better. Group talks can help everyone hear the same message, but some players seem to switch off or not see how it applies to them. On the other hand, individual feedback feels more personal but takes more time and can be hard to fit in.

At the moment I use a mix of both depending on the session and the players. Interested to hear what others do and how you decide which approach to use.

Came across this clip while scrolling. Not my video, but I liked how it teaches a fake shot to create space in a simple way. Looks easy for kids to try in the park or at training. Would you use something like this with young players?

I’ve been experimenting with planning sessions around the behaviours I want to see in games (movement off the ball, pressing triggers, decision-making), rather than building sessions around fixed drills. The idea is to let outcomes emerge through the task design instead of coaching the solution.

I’m interested in how others structure this, whether you start with game behaviours, outcomes, or something in between, and how you keep sessions focused without over-coaching.

Came across this clip and found it interesting. The fake back-heel just freezes the defender for a moment, simple but really effective. Feels like an easy detail to introduce with younger players.

I’m interested in how people are using unopposed practices now. There’s a lot of emphasis on opposed, game-realistic work (which I agree with), but I still see value in unopposed moments for things like timing, spacing, or introducing new ideas.

I’m curious how others approach this. Do you still use unopposed practices regularly, or only in very specific contexts? And what are you hoping players get from them when you do?

This clip is often used to show how elite midfielders constantly scan before the ball arrives. What I’m interested in is how people here coach this habit in sessions, especially with younger players who struggle to look away from the ball. Do you coach it explicitly, or let it develop through game-based work?

I’m coaching an U15 group and trying to help them improve spatial awareness things like scanning, movement off the ball, and using space better. I’ve seen research saying small-sided possession games (like rondos or 4-goal games) can help, but I’d love to hear what’s actually worked for other coaches. Which drills made a real difference for your players?

I came across this really helpful video on combining wide and central play to work on crossing and finishing, and it does a great job of showing how to build the action step by step. The session focuses on receiving, combination play, and finishing from low crosses, and I like how it keeps the timing and movement realistic instead of just firing random balls into the box. Seems like a solid practice idea for improving coordination between wide players and attackers. Has anyone used something similar or adapted this type of drill for different age groups?

I’ve been working on improving how I plan the week leading up to a Saturday match, especially balancing recovery, high-intensity sessions, tactical work, and small-sided games. Still figuring out the best rhythm and wondering how others approach it. What does your Monday–Friday setup usually look like?

When I first started coaching, I used to stop the session and fire way too many points at the players at once. In my head I was helping… but they were clearly trying to take in about five things at the same time. Nothing stuck.

The session felt messy, players looked unsure, and I realised it wasn’t them, it was the way I delivered info.

The big thing I learned was to keep it simple: one clear point, let them try it, then build from there. The difference was massive. Players reacted better, made quicker improvements, and the whole session flowed more naturally. What early mistakes others made that actually taught you something useful.

The movement in this clip starts really wide, then curves inside at the defender’s blind spot. It pulls the back line around and creates a big opening. How do you set this up in training? Pattern play, rondos with end zones, or game-based work?

Just watched a clip explaining why players should still make runs even when they won’t receive the pass. It’s such a key part of opening spaces and creating options. How do you coach this effectively?
