"This workbook is an eye opener."
"It's so insightful actually putting it on paper."
"I wasn't expecting it to challenge so deep, which made me feel I have to up my game here and makes me excited to see what I can go out and deliver. It really defines levels: you only get out of something what you put in. This is really 'putting it'."
"You will be challenged to reflect on your approach to the game, while envisioning the game from different perspectives. As a coach, we should always seek to gain more knowledge of the game to master our craft."
"This is a must for Coaches whatever standard they Coach."
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.
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.
Define what you actually believe about football and turn it into behaviour on the pitch.
In and out of possession, plus both transitions, broken down third by third.
The half-second details between phases that almost no coach ever defines.
A summary so simple a four-year-old could repeat it back to you.
Four pages, straight out of the workbook. Hover over the book and use the arrows to flick through.

This is for 11v11 and 9v9 coaches. Both formats get a lot from it because the whole thing is principle-led. The goal is to help you align what you believe about the game, then communicate it back to your players.
Delivered as a print-ready PDF the moment you buy. Print it, fill it in and hand the one-pager to your players.
