DSS Coaching

Give every coach a copy of last week’s End of Season Review before the meeting. Two coaches can give kickouts different ratings because one remembers winning the first ball and the other remembers losing the next pass.

Here’s the chat screen for Coach Tyler, the new AI-Assistant from DSS. When asking for practice ideas, include the space you have, the number of players and the decision you want them to practise. The same game can look very different on half a pitch.

From the DSS archive: Gareth Fox on finding your focus in sport. One way to use a clip with players is to pause before discussing it. Give everyone a moment to pick one thing they can control after a mistake.

🏐 Give two assistants the same game to watch. Ask one to count five passes and the other to watch what the first passer does next. They can see the same point scored and come back with very different feedback.

A useful starting point for a management meeting: ask the manager, selectors and support staff to complete the same review individually. The first page of our workbook is here. Compare the examples people give before trying to agree a team rating.
