In this episode, Alex Sarama explores the challenge of disseminating skill acquisition ideas to other coaches and the coaching community. He proposes that a good way to do so is taking traditional drills and transforming them into more alive activities informed by principles from the CLA. He emphasize the importance of variability, principles of play, and effective constraint manipulation within small-sided games. By incorporating these ideas, coaches can create more engaging and effective training sessions that align with the demands of the game.
