Creativity Time

Over the last decade, keep ball was the mantra. Turnovers were nearly the first metric coaches looked at .
And any expression of vision was seen as far too risky.

But after watching the ball Daragh Canavan played for his brother Ruairí against Trillick at the weekend — it’s safe to say that creativity is back.

Like every skill, practice is half the battle. Assigning "creativity time" in training games  where you encourage the high risk passes is probably a good starting point. Watch how players will get their head up quicker, and make runs they might normally bother making. Of course there will be way more turnovers.

Like pressing high, you can always scale it back, but it is hard to scale it forward if you've never tried.
