Gary is joined by Tristan Thomas, Academy Coach at Aldershot Town and tactical analyst. As someone who is heavily involved on the analysis and scouting side of the game, Tristan discusses how he feels players should be developed at a young age to meet the demands of the modern game: - Has the definition of creativity changed? - How does a youth coach challenge but keep the fun included? - How to develop resilient players? - When should scouting reports be introduced? - Should a youth coach be bringing out concepts from Champions and Premier League? Tristan talks about this and a lot more! Have you checked out the new Modern Soccer Coach Community Platform yet? Launched this month, it is a new concept, specifically designed for all coaches to get access to in-depth work, share new and potentially diverse ideas, and have the option of discussing topics within the game that will change on a daily basis. Coaches who register will have immediate access to over 200 training exercises, all animated and organized into set categories (perfect for preseason planning) but the goal of it is to be more than just a session sharing site so every day you will get fresh new content that will provide context, detail, creativity… some aspects that are missing in social media at the minute. All coaches can register right away for a free two week trial period to check it out… bit.ly/modernsoccercoach
