THREAD 🧵on centerbacks What does intelligent movement look like at the centerbacks position? I’ve studied some of the best the game has to offer in the hopes of helping my own players better understand the role. Here’s what I found.

Incredible message from La Liga. They've singlehandedly shutdown more fan and analyst accounts than any other league. Free marketing and educational material is piracy, apparently. They deserve every bit of the backlash they're getting for this insulting, out of touch message.

The #NCAA Transfer Portal has 2,233 entries for D1 and D2 men's soccer players. There are roughly 12k men's soccer players between the 2 divisions. That means 19% of D1 and D2 players are trying to transfer. 19% doesn't include those who simply stop playing. Prioritize fit.

"What Gallardo has done with River is incredible," Guardiola told TNT Sports. "Every year three coaches are named as the best in the world, and he's never among them. I can't understand it." Who is Marcelo Gallardo and why has Pep hailed him as a top coach? THREAD 🧵👇

THREAD🧵on goalkeepers The keeper position has evolved. No longer JUST a shot-stopper, they're now required to use their feet well and contribute to the build-out. How do the intelligent movements of GKs benefit their teams in the build-out? Here's what I found. 👇

Language is important. The language we use in our training sessions carries additional context beyond the immediate information we convey. That goes for off the ball movement as well. 4 Steps to Better off the Ball Movement went live last night. LINK ⬇️

Coaches, I'm telling you, create an Eric Laurie analysis document for your players and you're improving the quality of their play immediately. The visuals are clear and informative. I'm working on the running document for my players. Fantastic stuff, as always, Eric!
