  • Incredible content but the audio is so bad I can't listen to it. The volumes of the host and the guests are drastically different combined with the accents it's just a hard listen on top of the audio quality being generally poor from the guest.

  • Fantastic insights

    So many lessons to learn from with any guest that is on the show, I’ve genuinely learned at least one thing from each episode I’ve listened to.

    Lots of lessons and insights that I’ve used with my own players since listening to the podcast, I would recommend it to any coach that’s looking to further their development no matter what step on the ladder you are.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Players Stop Improving | Saul Isaksson-Hurst on Individual Development
Q: Why do players plateau despite hard work, and how can this be addressed?
Plateaus occur due to overemphasis on quantity over quality, insufficient deliberate practice, and lack of integrated, game-relevant coaching; addressing it requires purposeful practice, better coaching guidance, and alignment across the club.
Why Players Stop Improving | Saul Isaksson-Hurst on Individual Development
Q: What is the current state of clubs implementing individual development into their processes?
Clubs are increasingly interested, but face a gap between private providers and club education, with many relying on unconsolidated, ad-hoc efforts; Saul advocates for structured, club-wide frameworks and better coach education.
Why You Can’t Win Without Set Pieces Now with Tom Dent
Q: Tom, how has set-piece specialization changed in modern football?
It's become a prominent, data-informed, and strategically integrated part of the game. The emphasis now is on linking set-piece work with the broader game model, using specific roles and training pathways to develop both attacking and defensive capabilities.
Why Our Young, Elite Players Stop Improving by Joop Oosterveld
Q: What are the key elements to successful IDPs for young players, and how do you avoid using rigid templates?
Begin with a strong personal relationship with the player, uncover their pathway and background, and identify one super strength plus one area to improve; customize support with others around the player rather than forcing a template, and ensure the plan fits the individual's context and goals.
Why Our Young, Elite Players Stop Improving by Joop Oosterveld
Q: How do you describe or measure physical intensity in training, and what would you need from a coach working with you tomorrow?
Focus on smaller-sided games and high-repetition group work instead of long 11v11 tactical sessions; emphasize training in smaller spaces with increased physical and technical demands, and tailor sessions to player profiles to push for higher intensity.
