James Scott Session

 


On Friday 13th March we had the pleasure of hosting James Scott on the 3G to work with our 13A and 14A boys squads before their trip to Belgium at Easter. 
It was a great chance for our coaches to learn from a top class coach.

The session was excellent with energy staying high throughout and great insight for all coaches attending.

Tales from the sideline.....

  Coaching from the sidelines is one of the most powerful – and most misunderstood – parts of youth football. It can either grow confident decision‑makers or create anxious players who wait to be told what to do. This post looks at joystick coaching from coaches and parents, how it affects decision making, working memory, and pressure, and offers practical ideas like Silent Sideline, talking only to players off the ball, and using questions instead of commands. ⏱️  Estimated read time: 5 minutes What is sideline and joystick coaching? Sideline coaching is any in‑game instruction shouted from the touchline – from both coaches and parents – while the ball is in play. It ranges from occasional reminders (“stay compact”) to constant running commentary on every action. Joystick coaching is the extreme version: adults effectively “drive” the player like a video‑game character, telling them where to move, when to pass, who to mark, and when to shoot, often every few seconds.

⏱️  Estimated read time: 5 minutes by Maurice Moroney 3 years ago I found my camogie mad 9 year old daughter in the kitchen on a Saturday morning in sports gear and boots. Camogie was over, and my shock doubled down when I heard she was off to soccer, having never shown any interest in it before.

My Coaching Philosophy: Development, Confidence & the Value of Playing Time ⏱️  Estimated read time: 5 minutes COLM MCCOLE Introduction Player development is not an accident — it’s a deliberate, values‑driven process. At underage and amateur levels especially, the purpose of coaching is not to chase results but to build players: their skills, their confidence, their resilience, and their love of the game. This article highlights the importance of ensuring quality playing time for all players and the positive impact that will have on their development, confidence and performance. Playing Time Is the Foundation of Improvement No player, at any age or level, has ever improved by regularly spending 90% of the game on the bench. To develop: They must be on the pitch. They must feel the support of their coaches and their team. They must be allowed to make mistakes and learn from them. What is Quality Playing Time - Not all Playing Time is Equal Time on the pitch...
