💡 1v1 dueling is a crucial point in every defenders play, it's something I always point out and seek to see first, when monitoring individual on this position. ⚡ In the first two examples, I pointed some things that could've been better, but would really like to hear your opinion on what makes mentioned player effective in the execution of the last two examples (Hint : Forcing opponent to the smaller area and disabling his progression inside is always desirable!) 🙏 If you know anyone who would benefit from this knowledge, or want to get supported on rising your tactical awareness level, my DM is always open! #football #footballcoaching #footballscouting

3 markers on the ground, 3 markers in my hand. See the color & find the correct teammate. Please turn the volume up & listen to the information I’m giving to each player. “Hold. Open up. Right in front of you. Turn. Again. Set. First time. Left shoulder. Overlap.” You can increase your value to the team by simply TALKING. Next session, I’ll be quiet, & see if the girls can communicate without my assistance. #soccer #football #soccertraining #soccerdrills #rcperformancetraining

First we worked on getting width/creating angles to receive. We followed that up with being a threat in behind. Some key points are clean lines, body shape, & change of pace. Some players are just moving to move. Efficient movement off the ball will put you in better starting positions, which will lead to a higher success rate. When my winger gets involved, I want to see fireworks, and I want the opposing team holding their breath. #soccer #football #soccertraining #soccerdrills #rcperformancetraining

Properly conditioning your glove is key to peak performance and longevity. Here are some pro tips to get your glove game-ready (but remember, don’t do it on game day!): 🧼 Clean it up: Wipe off any dirt or debris. 💧 Condition carefully: Use a lotion-sized amount of conditioner. Don’t overdo it! ✋ Rub it in: Spread the conditioner evenly, ensuring you cover the inside where sweat builds up. 🎨 Check the color: Your glove should turn a slightly darker color when done right. 🌙 Dry overnight: Let your glove dry out completely before using it. Bonus tip: These steps work for batting gloves too! 🧤⚾️ Take care of your gear, and it will take care of you on the field. 🏆 Join the G.E.A.R. community!

Set yourself up and flow. I appreciate this photo so much, taken by Clive Wood Sports Photography, who captured the moment when I was preparing to step into the ring as a referee at this year’s Winter Box Cup. I often get people asking me if I get nervous as a ref and the answer is always, “yes, of course!” I’d go further to say I think I’m more nervous as a ref than when I was a boxer. As a boxer, I was responsible for myself but as a ref, I’m responsible for the safety of the two boxers in the ring and the fairness of the bout. This is why I take my time getting ready at ringside, practising what I preach - regulating my breathing, being mindful of what I’m doing in relation to my body (putting on the gloves, for example), and positive self-talk. I also remind myself what and who this is for and my priorities in the ring. Once I’m in there, I practise trusting myself for being able to utilise my tools for any situations, letting go of things out of my control, and just “flow” and try to be “in the zone”. For me, it’s a learning curve to understand and accept that I can’t prepare for every scenario and nothing can be perfect, AND, knowing whatever happens, I have my compass of values directing my actions and responses. Are you someone who sometimes get caught up in the preparation stage and experience no flow in your actions?

Why do football players cut holes in their socks? 🧦 ✂️ ⚽ I had a great time watching the Vancouver Whitecaps FC over the weekend. The group I was with kept noticing that some players had holes in their socks. They all thought it was a fashion statement ⚽ 🔹 Reducing Calf Pressure: Soccer socks can be super tight, and over a 90-minute match, this can cause discomfort or even restrict blood flow. By cutting small holes, players can relieve some of that tension, allowing for better circulation and muscle comfort. 🔹 Preventing Cramps & Blisters: Tight socks can create excess friction and heat around the calf muscles, which can lead to cramping or blisters. A few well-placed holes help alleviate this by reducing pressure points and allowing for more airflow to keep the legs cool. 🔹 Modern Sock Technology & Fit: Many elite players wear grip socks (like Trusox) that help with foot stability and prevent slippage inside the boot. These socks are often layered under the standard team socks, and by cutting the latter, players make room for the grip socks to do their job effectively. 🔹 Maximizing Performance & Personal Preference: If the athlete feels better, he will most likely play better. Good luck to Vancouver on their playoff push! #Soccer #Football #AthletePerformance #SportsScience #ComfortInSport #physio #sportsphysio #sportsmedicine
