When coaching younger players, we should be careful not to overload them with information during our half time talks. ‘When you’re in the heat of a match and you’ve written eight key points down in the first-half, it’s very easy to get caught up and feel like you have to relay all of that information to the players,’ says Dave Wright. ‘But overloading can be dangerous. We don’t want to deliver a tactical masterclass on the white board or overwhelm them.’
