This is HUGE news! As much as I believe that the move to professionalization is needed to move the sport forward, the lack of clubs within certain areas/regions is concerning. As someone who is involved in netball in Scotland, I fear this could have huge implications. Not only at an elite level, but particularly at grassroots, through player pathways, and for umpires and coaches. I am excited to see what the new era of netball brings, however I do hope there are plans in the near future to ensure that the Super League is accessible for and representative of the whole of the UK (including Scotland, NI, the South West, etc). #NetballSuperLeague #SportDevelopment

Is shooting from outside of the box a dying art in football? According to BBC, the percentage of non-penalty goals scored from outside of the box has been gradually decreasing over the past couple of decades - from 22.3% in The Premier League in 2006 to nearly half that at 12.4% in 2023/24. In the last season, this type of goals made up the lowest share of total goals in any Premier League season. In addition, the average short distance (m) across Europe's top 5 leagues has been decreasing as well - learn more in this article: #premierleague #bbc #footballdata #footballstats #footballanalytics

Love this interview. Positive reinforcement of the environment that all clubs, every sport, should be striving to create within their teams. “There are no dumb questions …. Right?” Also where he talks about the front office recruiting the type of player that wants to learn. Has desire to get better. If a coach can surround him or herself with like-minded coaches and players it creates a really impressive group of individuals who all buy in to the same philosophy ……. “What do we need to do to be successful?” Then plan the work and work the plan.

Structural organization is key in the building-up phase. Thanks to that, players know their tasks and movement paths. Moreover, thanks to a specific structure, players know how to rotate and fill spaces during rotation. Below is an example of the structural organization of Sporting Lisbon: - main structure 1-3-4-3(2-1) - offensive midfielders (Goncalves and Trincao) between the lines to create a dilemma for defenders - offensive midfielders are ready to attack the space behind City's defensive line - rotation Goncalves – Araujo - Gyokeres #analysis #tactic #championsleague Manchester City Football Club Sporting Clube de Portugal
