(1) Can you name the coaches and players above?(2) What do all of their sports have in common? (think ‘tactics’)

TGFU (UK) or “Tactical” approach
Teaching/coaching that uses games to develop tactical/strategic thinking
Modification for exaggeration
Technique + Pressure = Skill
GAME SENSE

What is ‘skill’?

+ Pressure
Skill = Technical skill Tactical skill+
Features of Game Sense drills:1.‘Open’ skill drills (repetition of a skill in variable situations)2.Implicit learning3.Questioning4.Repetition of tactical scenarios5.Variable conditions

DM involves:
TACTICAL KNOWLEDGE: What to do if…..? (game understanding/rules/team plans/probabilities)
READING PLAY: Pattern recognition/movement cues
The DM process:
6
1. SCANNING
2. PERCEPTION
3. ATTENTION
4. RESPONSE SELECTION
5. SKILL EXECUTION

“INATTENTIONAL BLINDNESS”

Training involves 3 main areas of improvement:
IMPLICIT: learning through experience without direct instruction
EXPLICIT: learning through direct instruction
(1) Technical skill
(2) Tactical skill**
(3) Style of play
•Eg. Kick to adv, cont marking, set shots
•Improve DM•Skill eff under pressure•EG: ‘Game Sense’!
•Framework within decisions are made•Team plays/structures•EG: ‘Game Plan’!
•High reps/low pressure•Explicit & implicit•Indiv/small-sided drill
•High reps/pressure•Implicit/variable•Small-sided games
•Low reps/pressure•Large-sided games•Explicit & implicit•Structured scenarios
![Page 8: GAME SENSE COACHING & DECISION-MAKING](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081503/56815133550346895dbf4d4e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Why implicit game-based training?
Elite players have better DM skills
“Open” skilled game i.e., techniques executed in variety of situations
Well-rehearsed techniques can break down under fatigue & pressure
Research strongly supports implicit training is more effective in transferring to performance than explicit (structured drills) methods
Implicit games are more durable in terms of player learning
Features of implicit game-based training:
Player-centred – coaches guide/facilitate players to explore options
Coach asks questions
Emphasis on DM in tactical situations that can occur in a match
Implicit learning – learn sub-consciously/‘learning from mistakes’
Indirect learning through problem solving
8The Coach is a FACILITATOR

How does Game Sense work?
1. Techniques (movement patterns) can break down in competitive situations with ‘distractions’
2. Practicing with variety of scenarios can improve attention to only ‘relevant’ cues
3. Improve DM skills through ‘experience’ i.e., learning from good and poor decisions
4. Repetition – small-sided games
5. DM becomes automatic (sub-conscious)
6. ‘Need to make mistakes to learn!’

COACHING GAME SENSE
1. Aim or theme (expected outcomes?)
2. Small-sided (2-6)
3. Replicate typical scenarios
4. Length – time for repetition
5. Main rules & area
6. Variations of game
7. Prepare questions
8. Block or Random/variable practice?

12
1. (Explain purpose)
2. Brief explanation of rules/limitations
3. Let game ‘play’ & observe (evaluate)
4. Is it working? Modifications?
5. Vary pressure/difficulty
6. Ask individual questions during game
7. Teachable Moments
8. Freeze play – ‘walk through’ demo
9. Feedback on decisions
10.Turn FB into questions

1. TIME – when should you…….?
2. SPACE – where should you…….?
3. RISK – which option…….?
4. EXECUTION – how should you……?
QUESTIONING
Coach’s role to assist players in solving tactical problems
4 concepts:
Turn feedback into questions: when, what, where, why, how?
COACHING GAME SENSE
Use open-ended questions
![Page 14: GAME SENSE COACHING & DECISION-MAKING](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081503/56815133550346895dbf4d4e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

1. Level of pressure/tackling
2. Size/shape of area
3. No of players (def/att)/size of teams
4. Rules
5. Time in possession
6. Method of scoring/points eg. 3 pt
7. Positions/zones

1. Stay in A or D role for time of no. of turns
2. Give one gp a task
3. Set scenarios
4. Observation
5. Experienced v inexperienced

4. Player involvement maximised?
