Episode notes
Optimize Practice with CLA
- Use the Constraints-Led Approach (CLA) to optimize practice by designing specific boundaries and constraints.
- This approach helps players improve weaknesses while still allowing natural skill development through play.
Long Ball Practice Game
- Simon uses a large field with two goals and a neutral player to encourage long balls in practice.
- This setup forces players to read the game and execute long passes under pressure.
Use Larger Fields for Transitions
- Small-sided games often use too small a playing area, limiting space for transitions.
- Practicing in larger spaces better represents game conditions like full-court transitions in basketball.
