It has been a wonderful introductory content of the course which has whetted my appetite for what is to come.
The difference between experience and knowledge is an interesting topic to discuss more because in our societies we have been led to believe that experience is kind while those with knowledge and less experience are just meeky mouse. My question is how can you gain experience if you have not been given the chance to put your knowledge to work. So what you see is that you see the same type of people in the job because they are the ones with lots of knowledge.
Thanks, Raymond for shining light on this topic, it worth exploring more. I will be interested in knowing what the solution to fixing this problem will be.
The content of Football Theory was very riveting with regard to the sensory data then further described as first impressions – first thought. I wonder if this illusion will become an imprint on coaches brains so their hypothesis will be inconclusive. Will this process be based on emotions? Maybe I will delve into creating my on reference to ask more questions for the Q and A . I am very intrigued with this.
Critical evaluation is key for learning and development, however criticism can be hard to take if people view this as a personal attack. However those who can reflect upon the feedback/criticism, have the greatest chance of learning and improving, not always an easy skill to learn but its vital for improvement of yourself and others.
I agree that we cannot afford to not test our low value theories. I teach history and there is no Truth, only smaller truths that bring us closer to a complex Truth we perhaps will never reach. We can only evolve and get closer to it and football must work towards it as well. We must remember that we have subjective lenses we perceive through that are created by environment, culture, nurturing etc. We also see what we want to see because it fits our narrative psychologically. So what comes up for me is the principles of attack and defending we have been fed by the football federations? Are these principles or axioms based on concrete and objective information or are they subjective? Are their deeper axioms we can teach? Its hard to say because compactness as a defensive principle in my experience works but there have to be situations where it does not, so is compactness a true axiom for defending?
I will also say that Raymond got more hopeful with experience at the end in that those with more experience have more references to test out as long as they are more conscious of their unconscious biases and willing to throw themselves out there to evolve both themselves and the game. Anyways, what I am excited about is to retool and push reset as a coach. I’d rather challenge myself to face the fire and the critics in order to grow rather than sit complacently behind a facade of both subjective and falsified experiences. What I love about the textbook is that it is attempting to create an objective structure from which to coach from; something sorely needed in the football world.
I’m constantly coaching, mentoring and teaching players with “Low Quality Resolutions.” The deductive thinking explanation in itself has aloud me to better explain the challenge or situation I find myself in with these players. This chapter has provided ways for the coach to move from a low resolution picture to a high resolution picture. Can you help in the transition with the player? I’m not looking for a story or experience to help but a more proven method from your data. Do we approach it in a similar fashion you have introduced it for coaches? Thank you!!!
How interesting to start thinking about the differences between my reality and the true reality! I wonder how we can effectively avoid this if it is even an issue at the top level? And is avoiding it really conducive to moving up through the system?

For me a question after this chapter:
Knowledge and experience:
Is experience also build up knowledge which evaluate? is experience collected information? Information is data, yes or no?
I will be curious how this is seen??

Very insghtful and detailed way of thinking and analysing previous situations.
This is a similar philosophical method and theory to your compatriot, Spinoza.

This is really eye opening for me and I have to enhance my coaching approach in a multifaceted manner.
