🎙️ Go Football Podcast – Episode 43: Reps vs Variety

🎧 Episode Bio (Spotify & YouTube)

In Episode 43 of the Go Football Podcast, Steve tackles one of the biggest debates in grassroots coaching: repetitions vs variety.

How many times does a player really need to practise a skill to be good at it? Are repetitive drills the key to development — or do varied, game-real practices create better footballers?

This episode explores:

• How repetition helps build technique and confidence

• Why too many unopposed reps can limit learning

• The role of varied practices in decision-making and creativity

• What research tells us about skill learning in football

• How coaches can blend reps and variety in effective, engaging sessions

If you coach, play, or support grassroots football, this episode will help you rethink how players learn — and how to keep training both effective and enjoyable.
