In this episode we discuss if going unbeaten all season is a good thing (or not). We talk about how you could measure success and the dangers of only looking at the results of matches. We also talk about how focusing on the results and `protecting` your win/lose record may impact on the development opportunities you `allow` for your players. Mark also shares his `final thought` and Scott has a couple of rants! ;)

We hope you enjoy the episode and would welcome your feedback!

In this episode we discuss the importance of ball mastery and technical work with the wonderful Saul Isaksson-Hurst from the My Personal Football Coach (www.mypersonalfootballcoach.com). 

The conversation includes thoughts on homework, SSG's, layering sessions, linking physical literacy with ball manipulation practice, making technical work fun and lots more! We also try and clarify our thoughts on if you should prioritise 1v1 or passing and why we prefer a dual approach.

Thank you to Saul for giving up his time and his superb contribution to this important topic!
