As coaches, how aware are we of elite trends from the modern game? More importantly, how adept are we at translating these trends into our own environment? What does this mean for me and my players, and what type of game are they expecting to move into?
How does this affect the practices I deliver, and what tools or skillsets will my players need to be equipped with for the game of tomorrow?
Aligning game models, practice objectives, coaching styles and learning outcomes to the game of today, with an eye on the future.
