In this episode, we summarise our conversation with football coach and thinker, Jamie Hamilton. Jamie’s unique blend of practical coaching experience and deep theoretical exploration has shaped his insights into positional and relational approaches in football. We explore how culture, adaptability, and authenticity influence coaching, and why football must be seen as a human game beyond just data and analytics. From South American influences to the modern evolution of tactics, Jamie’s perspective challenges traditional views and inspires coaches to think differently about practice design and player development. A must-listen for coaches and performance practitioners.
