Episode notes
Frustration with Traditional Coaching
- Danny Newcombe's coaching frustration stemmed from observing a lack of transfer between training drills and actual game performance.
- This led him to explore the Constraints-Led Approach (CLA) to bridge this gap.
Constraints-Led Approach Principles
- Use constraints to create affordances or opportunities for action in practice design.
- Avoid giving players the answer directly; encourage emergent decision-making.
Example of Misapplied Constraints
- In field hockey, limiting touches to two to reduce dribbling removes decision-making cues and creates an artificial environment.
- Instead, create an overload with a 'magic player' to afford more passing opportunities.
