  • #11 David Baird - Reprioritising fun in coaching
    Jul 1 2024
    In this episode I'm joined by David Baird, creator of Scoreboard Soccer. We look at fun in coaching - it isn't always present, but should be! Topics discussed include: - Play and STRUCTURED player autonomy as gateways to enhanced motivation - Confusion at 'fun nights' and persistent attendance as proof of effective coaching - Fun as a central reference point, rather than add on, for effective practice - The need to get good at a strategy before legitimately assessing its effectiveness - Soccer scoreboard as a mastery focused, reward based use of fun and competition that's transferrable across ages, stages, and sports. - And much more!
