Adapting Formation Mid-Season
Discipline 7: Tactical Systems — Lesson 11 of 12
Lecturer: Imogen Vance
A system nobody's practised properly fails on the pitch. This session covers introducing a formation change gradually in training, keeping core defensive principles constant across systems, and explaining the reasoning behind a change clearly to the squad.
The three rules
1. Introduce changes gradually in training.
2. Keep defensive principles constant.
3. Explain the reasoning clearly.
