This @officialcpfc.bsky.social team feel like the least South London styled team. No flair, no creativity, just patterns of play that are too easily defendable. FIFA96 was less predictable than the team today. Lessons need to be learned. Congratulations to Macclesfield! 🏆

We can talk differential learning, tactical periodisation, ecological dynamics, cognitive maps, inverting full backs and overloads in the channels. But often a coaches job comes down to simply clearing dead rats off a pitch. #grassroots #nevertoobigforyourboots #coaching #football

Is the reliance on VAR reducing linesman’s ability to spot offsides in non VAR games? Jesus’ second goal last night was likely offside. The linesman although perfectly positioned, did not spot it. In this an undesirable constraint? A reliance on external feedback? #coaching #skillacquisition

Pushing the IQ validity debate to one side. Let’s say you value it, alongside consciousness and emotional stability in recruitment. Let’s say you are only interested in potential. So years of experience, industry or occupational expertise is not asked for. You just want exceptional raw talent

How heavy is the colour yellow? How bright is 20kg? 🤔 📖Johnston & Turvey in 1980 introduced a meta theory of learning. A highly generalisable meta theory that positioned learning as the ability to adapt to an ever changing environment. Nothing new right?

Okay, I admit it. I have an issue with the term “culture”. Why, well as a HR practitioner, I’ve never found it practical. Cultural change is only indirectly possible. We should focus on the individual-environment relationship. Biologists and Ecological Psychologists call this the “econiche”.
