H&W 2s Season Review by https://padlet.com/georgesweeting1/leapulzntr59ulcp en-us 2022-05-19 10:37:30 UTC 2022-06-24 09:17:32 UTC hello@padlet.com Improvement https://padlet.com/georgesweeting1/leapulzntr59ulcp/wish/2196564013 - Tuesday sessions improved throughout the year
- Standard of hockey massively improved 
- opening ourselves up to constructive criticism ]]> 2022-05-23 22:20:26 UTC https://padlet.com/georgesweeting1/leapulzntr59ulcp/wish/2196564013 Training & Availability https://padlet.com/georgesweeting1/leapulzntr59ulcp/wish/2196565886 - Tuesda  trainings were often crap due to cage and poor availability. Changing to a half pitch session with a coach will hopefully improve availability on Tuesdays.
- Availability on weekends was poor and could be improved by getting fitter, bit of S&C training etc 
- Thoughts on holidays? I know skiing is pretty limited time so fair play but first half of season could we have been a bit more intelligent with when we took holidays (end of November still possible)]]> 2022-05-23 22:23:44 UTC https://padlet.com/georgesweeting1/leapulzntr59ulcp/wish/2196565886 Lots https://padlet.com/georgesweeting1/leapulzntr59ulcp/wish/2196566791 - Get a coach with a session plan
- get 10 people consistently (if in the cage)
- Get half a pitch sessions
- If in the cage, prioritise 1 technical element in between high intensity small games]]> 2022-05-23 22:25:00 UTC https://padlet.com/georgesweeting1/leapulzntr59ulcp/wish/2196566791 Competitiveness https://padlet.com/georgesweeting1/leapulzntr59ulcp/wish/2196567854 - Criticism is always constructive and not personal, dont take it that way
- Dont turn up on Thursday and expect to get rolled by the 1s or make it an exercise just for them
- Dont be late to meet times on weekends
- Dont get cheap cards
- Stick around afterwards unless absolutely have to leave]]> 2022-05-23 22:26:50 UTC https://padlet.com/georgesweeting1/leapulzntr59ulcp/wish/2196567854 Fitness https://padlet.com/georgesweeting1/leapulzntr59ulcp/wish/2196569676 - Fitness doesnt start in September, we need to be way fitter especially with the press we do, so start in June/July
- When we are in the cage, prioritise short corners, feel like we missed a trick there last year
- Video, Andrew's WhatsApps were really good, could we do more?]]> 2022-05-23 22:29:51 UTC https://padlet.com/georgesweeting1/leapulzntr59ulcp/wish/2196569676 Match day squads georgesweeting1 https://padlet.com/georgesweeting1/leapulzntr59ulcp/wish/2202063458 There will be times in the season where availability is low due to injuries/international fixtures etc. During those weeks I'd rather play with 12 National League players rather than pad out the squad with players who aren't quite at the level required.]]> 2022-05-27 10:42:50 UTC https://padlet.com/georgesweeting1/leapulzntr59ulcp/wish/2202063458 https://padlet.com/georgesweeting1/leapulzntr59ulcp/wish/2202075781 Lack of availability across the 1s and 2s was a big issue and affected us massively. Obviously life happens and injuries happen but if we are serious about getting into Div 1 then everyone needs to be committed to be available to play each weekend rather than organising holidays during the season. ]]> 2022-05-27 11:02:14 UTC https://padlet.com/georgesweeting1/leapulzntr59ulcp/wish/2202075781 Warmups / Injuries https://padlet.com/georgesweeting1/leapulzntr59ulcp/wish/2202189032 Warmups - I injured myself because we didn’t warm up/down at training very well. (Personal responsibility acknowledged.)]]> 2022-05-27 13:21:40 UTC https://padlet.com/georgesweeting1/leapulzntr59ulcp/wish/2202189032 https://padlet.com/georgesweeting1/leapulzntr59ulcp/wish/2202189433 Individuals must take responsibility for the standard & intensity]]> 2022-05-27 13:22:05 UTC https://padlet.com/georgesweeting1/leapulzntr59ulcp/wish/2202189433 Availability georgesweeting1 https://padlet.com/georgesweeting1/leapulzntr59ulcp/wish/2202282782 We should acknowledge we have a range of ages and abilities so one rule for all won't work. I'd rather give higher quality, more experienced players flexibility regarding training availability than not select them due to other commitments (e.g. families, jobs etc).]]> 2022-05-27 14:48:56 UTC https://padlet.com/georgesweeting1/leapulzntr59ulcp/wish/2202282782 Socials georgesweeting1 https://padlet.com/georgesweeting1/leapulzntr59ulcp/wish/2202284534 A bit more imagination around socials would have been nice]]> 2022-05-27 14:50:31 UTC https://padlet.com/georgesweeting1/leapulzntr59ulcp/wish/2202284534 Great Group https://padlet.com/georgesweeting1/leapulzntr59ulcp/wish/2203775932 I’ve played for lots of sides and have felt really welcome by everyone in the club, it’s made me want to stick around longer and give more to the club overall.]]> 2022-05-29 23:03:37 UTC https://padlet.com/georgesweeting1/leapulzntr59ulcp/wish/2203775932 Everybody selected for the weekend games needs to understand how we play (what press, marking outside etc). Definitely need to emphasize this during selection and create a culture where asking these questions is seen as a positive (e.g. I don't understand what I'm doing in a certain scenario) https://padlet.com/georgesweeting1/leapulzntr59ulcp/wish/2204658530 2022-05-30 13:09:32 UTC https://padlet.com/georgesweeting1/leapulzntr59ulcp/wish/2204658530 As individuals we need to be much much fitter. Some exceptions, but generally I think the majority will say they were not fit enough last season https://padlet.com/georgesweeting1/leapulzntr59ulcp/wish/2204659441 2022-05-30 13:10:25 UTC https://padlet.com/georgesweeting1/leapulzntr59ulcp/wish/2204659441 I'd except everyone to stick around after games next season, to develop the culture we're looking to build. Obviously there are exceptions, but generally the same people shoot off straight after matches and the same people stick around https://padlet.com/georgesweeting1/leapulzntr59ulcp/wish/2204662100 2022-05-30 13:13:13 UTC https://padlet.com/georgesweeting1/leapulzntr59ulcp/wish/2204662100 In an ideal world, Tuesdays sessions have a coach and half the pitch at pad rec. It's how close we can get to that scenario. Agree if neither of these are possible, Tuesdays can be varied & used for individual drills, fitness related activities, shooting & goalscoring only, short corner practice etc https://padlet.com/georgesweeting1/leapulzntr59ulcp/wish/2204663867 2022-05-30 13:15:02 UTC https://padlet.com/georgesweeting1/leapulzntr59ulcp/wish/2204663867 We got way to many cards and didn't really have a plan or set tactic to play with a man down, that the whole team understood & bought in to. Personally, I can't remember what we did with a man down https://padlet.com/georgesweeting1/leapulzntr59ulcp/wish/2204671088 2022-05-30 13:22:09 UTC https://padlet.com/georgesweeting1/leapulzntr59ulcp/wish/2204671088 particularly in the first half of the season, the press didn't really work (wrong personnel, not fit enough, lack of understanding) - do we need 2 or 3 different presses we can flip from (zone, half court, 3/4 & splitting full-backs), or is it better specializing in only 1 press? https://padlet.com/georgesweeting1/leapulzntr59ulcp/wish/2204673280 2022-05-30 13:24:14 UTC https://padlet.com/georgesweeting1/leapulzntr59ulcp/wish/2204673280 Having a proper coach who cares makes a huge difference and I think we underappreciated that at times. https://padlet.com/georgesweeting1/leapulzntr59ulcp/wish/2204680139 2022-05-30 13:30:44 UTC https://padlet.com/georgesweeting1/leapulzntr59ulcp/wish/2204680139 Share a half pitch https://padlet.com/georgesweeting1/leapulzntr59ulcp/wish/2206694326 As an alternative to Cage Rage and providing that we can’t get our own half pitch, would the club be willing to fund us sync with L2s to share a half pitch for our second training session? Logistics permitting…

A quarter pitch is much more conducive to high intensity especially due to the run-off room. It may also accommodate a few more than the Cage if our squad grows (with quality players). We could also share coaches for that session? ]]> 2022-05-31 22:14:50 UTC https://padlet.com/georgesweeting1/leapulzntr59ulcp/wish/2206694326 Accept that some people are louder than others in a group setting. Some lads prefer to listen and are less confident speaking out on the pitch. That’s OK, but if we’re going to encourage everyone to have a voice, individuals need to continue to be overtly inclusive - it may take channels like this in future. Don’t take this for granted, it’s what gives this group a fantastic foundation for an awesome culture and results will follow. https://padlet.com/georgesweeting1/leapulzntr59ulcp/wish/2206703570 2022-05-31 22:31:00 UTC https://padlet.com/georgesweeting1/leapulzntr59ulcp/wish/2206703570 Everyone puts in a shift now to aid recruitment and get a big squad of quality players together for pre-season onwards. I’m sure we’ve got a strong collective network to tap into? https://padlet.com/georgesweeting1/leapulzntr59ulcp/wish/2206711509 2022-05-31 22:44:57 UTC https://padlet.com/georgesweeting1/leapulzntr59ulcp/wish/2206711509 Know where the line is https://padlet.com/georgesweeting1/leapulzntr59ulcp/wish/2209931778 Generally pretty good and funny but a couple of times in MoMs and Dods the line was crossed. Don’t say something you wouldn’t say to their face :)]]> 2022-06-03 07:39:19 UTC https://padlet.com/georgesweeting1/leapulzntr59ulcp/wish/2209931778
