🎮 Using Points to Transform a Session
I’ve just watched a brilliant clip from Russell Earnshaw where he uses a simple points system to spice up his coaching session. What I love about it is how easy it is to add: - 1 point for great communication - 2 points for teamwork - 3 points for creativity - Bonus points for solving problems, not just scoring Straight away the whole session changes: Players talk more. They notice each other more. Effort goes up. Smiles go up. Coaching becomes about behaviours, not just outcomes. This is gamification at its simplest → reward what you want to see. I’ll be breaking this down in more detail soon, but for now: 👇 Coaches — what behaviours would YOU reward in your sessions? Communication? Effort? Support play? Creativity? Drop your ideas below. #TheGamifiedCoach 🎮

Love this Dan. Great way to engage players and encourage the desired behaviours and learning outcomes. Started to use David Baird’s scoreboard soccer with our younger age groups as an added incentive and a method of rewarding players who demonstrate positive behaviour, effort and skilful play. Will definitely take this with me into this evenings session with our U9’s.
