What Player Development Should Look Like!
Player development should be more than “run better sessions”.
From a P3 perspective, People, Practice, Performance, development starts with the player as a person.
Before we talk about drills, tactics or game plans, we need to ask:
Who is the player?
What motivates them?
What do they understand?
What support do they need?
How do they learn?
How much ownership are they taking?
Good player development should:
- Start with the personBuild trust, his /her motivation and a safe environment.
- Make the learning clearPlayers need to know what success looks like.
- Design practice for learningGame-like tasks, progressive challenge and decision-making moments.
- Coach for thinking and ownershipAsk better questions. Use reflection. Build self-regulation.
- Track development holisticallyTechnical, tactical, physical, psychological and social growth.
- Make feedback actionableFeedback should give players something clear to do next.
- Let performance be the outcomePerformance follows when people and practice are aligned.
The aim is not to create players who wait for instructions.
The aim is to create players who can think, reflect, adapt and take ownership.
Now is the time to audit your environment and take action. Identify one change you can make this week that better aligns your approach with P3, whether that’s how you connect with your players, how you design practice, or how you guide performance.
People first.Practice with purpose.Performance follows.
