Thread in developing creativity in football🧵👇
As a coach we are responsible for creating many unpredictable situations in a training session to prepare our players for everything and anything which could occur during a match.
A coach must have the ability to foresee all probable challenges, reconstruct them in a training environment, and if need be assist the player in the problem solving process.
If at any point in the assistance of problem solving does the coach command the player as to how they should proceed then creativity is denied. The player is instructed as to how something should be done rather than participating in a problem-solving process.
Especially in youth players, problem solving is crucial in their cognitive growth on and off the field. Players learn about the game and gain a greater understanding of the game when they are given opportunities to solve problems.
Through this players become self-regulating.
You can find reflections like this one, as well as training activities, in the weekly newsletter.
