Build Your Game Model | The Tactics Academy

The Problem

You Know How You Want To Play.
You Just Cannot Name It.

Ask any coach how their team plays and you get the same answer:

“We play forward, use the width, keep possession and attack quickly.”

It is what every coach says, from under-9s to the Premier League. And it is useless on a Tuesday night, because it does not tell a single player what to actually do. The thing that makes a team yours is not ambition. It is detail. And detail is exactly what most coaches never get round to defining.

What It Does

It Forces The Detail Out Of You.

The Game Model Builder is not a book about tactics. It is a workbook. Through guided prompts and decision banks, it makes you commit to how your team plays in every phase of the game, then hands you a one-page Game Model you can put in front of your players on Monday.

Your beliefs first

Define what you actually believe about football, and turn it into behaviour on the pitch.

All four macrophases

In and out of possession, plus both transitions, broken down third by third.

The micro-phases

The half-second details between phases that almost no coach ever defines.

One page, finished

A summary so simple a four-year-old could repeat it back to you.

What Is Inside

A Complete Build, Not A Blank Page.

→A 45-page guided workbook. Structured prompts, principle banks to choose from, and recognisable team examples for every decision.
→Two one-page templates. A written team-sheet version, and a drawable pitch version to map your shape and movements.
→The adaptables system. What your Game Model changes when you are a goal down, against a low block, or playing on a poor pitch.
→Built around your players, not Pep’s. The detail that makes the model genuinely yours, with the squad you actually have.

A lot of the things I felt I knew, I am now seeing from a completely different perspective. It is helping me enjoy the game at a whole different level. Tactics Academy member

Who It Is For

Coaches Who Are Ready To Decide.

→ Grassroots and aspiring coaches who know the game but cannot yet put their identity into words.
→ Coaches tired of running sessions with no clear answer to “how do we want to play?”
→ Anyone who wants one clear page their players actually understand, not another folder of theory.
