How and what should we be looking for when coaching young players?

In this presentation delivered exclusively in partnership with and for the ECNL, ECNL technical advisor Ceri Bowley reflects upon what he terms ‘the art of noticing’ when coaching football.

Bowley worked as head of coaching support at the City Football Group before taking on a first-team role at Rangers under Giovanni van Bronckhorst. Here, he discusses the coaching process cycle, and where and how observation can be included in that. He goes on to cover what coaches and players might look to focus on when making key on-pitch decisions, both in and out of possession, and how observation can be used to aid both individual and team development.

It’s a captivating session with a highly respected coach and methodology expert, which we hope you find useful in your own coaching.
