Description

It is one thing to admire and enjoy a beautiful piece of art, but it is another thing altogether to understand what the artist did to make it so beautiful.

What is it that the great teams do to play so well? What is it that pundits mean when they call a performance a tactical masterclass? What are coaches trying to do when they change formations for a big game?

If these are questions that pique your curiosity, this is the course for you. First and foremost, I want to develop your tactical literacy by introducing you to the building blocks of tactical analysis. Learn about topics such as:

• When to use a back 4 or a back 3
  
  
• How to create numerical superiority and dominate possession
  
  
• How to unlock a team that is parking the bus
  
  
• And more!
  

This course isn't just for coaches. It's also for fans that want to be able to better understand (and even criticize) tactical discussions from pundits on TV, and watch matches with a more sophisticated lens. It can even help you as a player, allowing you to identify weaknesses in the opposing team and highlight them for your teammates.

Don't wait -- sign up now and start your journey to better understand the beautiful game!
