The England Team Coaching Method c.1956


The technique commonly used at this time was "don't practise with the ball at training sessions - then they'll be hungry for it in the real match". Absolutely true.

Not hard to see the flaw? "Take all the best players available, and then not only fail to develop their skills, but actively encourage them to atrophy".

It took a new regime to make changes. Nowadays we don't think in such a way. Do we?
