  9. What does this say about his philosophy of Coaching? • I want footballers to firstly develop all the skills of the game. Then I look at the position thing. But it's way down the line. I don't want them to get hooked on one position, instead they must have all the skills. 9 Skill Development

  10. Style of Coaching, can you pick yourself out here? • 3 Major Styles of Coaching: • The Command Style (The Dictator): • The Coach makes all the decisions. Players listen and comply with the Coach’s instructions. The Coach feels it is their role to tell the player what to do. This style can lead to players being motivated to play through fear of the Coach. • The Submissive Style (The Baby-Sitter): • The Coach makes as few decisions as possible, gives little instruction and provides minimal guidance in organising activities. • The Cooperative Style (The Facilitator): • The Coach shares the decision making with the players. The cooperative Coach provides the structure and environment for players to set their own goals and assume responsibility for their actions. Players recognise the Coach as the leader who guides them towards achieving their own goals. Skill Development
