its perfect with pictures. Its pushing up to another level of learning and makes it much easier to understand and follow. Good idea! Please more of it in the future!
Thanks for the illustration in the current part of the online mentorship course.
To follow your intensive course for me in a foreign language is sometimes difficult.
Because of the the words and pictures like in the football fitness part it makes me a lot of more simply to understand.
Since approximately 10 years, when you have been in Kaiserau, germany, for a BDFL-Workshop, I follow your idea of football actions and become an open thinker…like you said.
The Online Mentorship Course give me more certainty in my argumentation in the football action model in front of my coaches and also to the players. Now I think I´m able to explain football training in a simple way; so, like you said, it seems that I will get knowledge now.
Visuals are well organized and powerful! Like you say, a picture is worth a thousand words and your objective reference visuals left an imprint on my mind. I also love the four square idea near the end here of the second part. Interesting enough, during the Medieval Ages, musicians used a picture setup like a “5” on a die in order to memorize hundreds of pages of a tale. Anyways, the foursquare is another interesting tool for memorization (usually when discussing items where there is dualism). Thank you for the new setup (easier to grasp overall especially since I am not a great auditory learner).
Well, I think all these slides are in the “Football Coaching Theory” book all participants got before this mentorship started, didnt they? So, just use the book when u listen Raymond
i do not agree or I am still struggling. What would you say: if I am able to jump higher due to fitness training and therefore I win more header-duells this would improve my football actions, because I am winning more headers. If my arm power and core muscles getting stronger due to fitness training and therefore I win more infights this would improve my football actions, because I am winning more infights. How can you say that these parameters does not improve a football player?
I want to share my initial thinking to this question:
reading your question, there is an assumption that to win more header (Football action), a player needs to jump (Basic action) higher. And to jump higher he has to do more „fitness training“.
Would this mean, that a high jumper from Track-and Field would win every header-duel in football, because they can jump really high?
Or to compare two football players: does every taller Football player win every header-duel against a smaller player? How is it possible then, that for example even Messi scores headers? (and even wins infights).
To give another example:
If jumping higher would be synonymous with winning headers, then sprinting faster should be synonymous with winning pressings. Therefore Usain Bolt should’ve won every pressing, when playing football, for example during his trials training with the Central Coast Mariners, because he is the fastest sprinter.
The Basic Action sprinting is only a part of the football action pressing (CDE). And the D and E of the Football action Pressing has the 4 characteristics position, moment, direction and speed. The same with heading.
In Basic Action training the player does not get better at CDE and doesn’t learn to choose a better position, to recognize the better moment, etc.
Related to the question itself: what he was saying is that the Football ability does improve a player. Football ability is the 100%, which we want to stretch to 101%, improving CDE. It is how good you can be.
Football Fitness is how often you can be at your best. The actual 100% (Football ability) more often. More actions, maintain good actions, maintain many actions. Not improving, but more of the same. Maintaining is not improving.
Breaking it down, it is the same with Basic Action Ability and Basic Action Fitness. Improving the Basic Action (muscle) does make the basic action of the player better and can contribute to better Football Action. But Basic Action Fitness is not improving the Basic Action.
Thats what he was saying in terms of improving/not-improving players.

Very good to have the pictures to follow while listening. Easier to understand when seeing the build up of the topic.

Hi FloSport.
As i understood correctly, you are from Germany. If you want, we can exchange about the topics and input of this course in german.
Visuals are well organized and powerful! Like you say, a picture is worth a thousand words and your objective reference visuals left an imprint on my mind. I also love the four square idea near the end here of the second part. Interesting enough, during the Medieval Ages, musicians used a picture setup like a “5” on a die in order to memorize hundreds of pages of a tale. Anyways, the foursquare is another interesting tool for memorization (usually when discussing items where there is dualism). Thank you for the new setup (easier to grasp overall especially since I am not a great auditory learner).
Very good indeed.
The slides for “downloading the objective references in the brain” is simple and effective.
Well done.
Thank you.
