Peter Prickett is a coach that is passionate about the role that games can play in the child's sports experience. So much so that he has written a book that is dedicated to playing games. But not just any games...specifically 3 v 3 games as he believes that they offer the most representative football experience and provide the richest opportunities for learning.
In this super interesting conversation we cover...
How 40 different 3 v 3 games could become 140
His views on the development of creativity in players
How his club has turned the tables and ask the coaches to do trials and get the kids to select them if they are suitable
Why paying coaches is the model that they have adopted
There is a lot of interesting stuff in here. I hope you enjoy.

Jason deVos likes a challenge! He also doesn't give up until he achieves his goals!! He is an object lesson in GRIT, Growth Mindset, Resilience...and all that stuff!!
Not only does he come back from being dropped by his provincial football team at age 12 to captain his country. He gives up a lucrative job as a TV pundit to become the Head of Football Development at Canada Soccer. This is a man who is committed to helping people succeed and he will do his level best to making Canadian Soccer the best it can be.
In this conversation we discuss...
What his Dad said to him on the long drive back from the trials where he was told he wasn't going to progress.
His blueprint for improving the environment for children in Canadian soccer clubs
How he want's to make the system in Canada more challenging for players rather than having a 'culture of entitlement'
His plans to change the coach development system in Canadian soccer.
My thoughts on how he could do some of these things.
I hope you enjoy.
