#21 Kevin Nicol - Providing structure within tactics

  • Summary

  • In this episode I'm joined by Kevin Nicol, Manager of Mjøndalen who compete in Obos Ligaen, the second tier of the Norwegian football pyramid.

    In this episode we discuss the connections between Kevin's lived experience of senior performance coaching and insights from a recent study Kevin published looking at Norwegian perspectives on competence support in football.


    Topics discussed include:

    - Structure in tactical planning and execution

    - Player-coach closeness essential to setting up effective competence support

    - Distinctions between structure and control (and whether semantics is getting in the way of being effective)

    - Knowing what situations call for and acting through feel and experience

    - Plus more!
