When we speak about creativity 🪄 we think always about an individual play and never about a collective play, a collective idea to solve a scenario.

I think that creativity 🪄 it's also the way to apply principles of play as group to solve a situation.

In this clip I see how much muy boys were very creative in understanding how to solve a difficult man to man press by Tukums team.

It's creative how they create free players and understand how to reach them by third man principle.
Everything was naturally coordinated by themselves, without any pre determined play.

They moved in harmony like flocks of birds, which, thanks to a set of simple rules and local interaction between individuals, coordinated themselves based on three principles: separation, alignment, and cohesion.

"Patterns doesn't exist, what exist are principles of play.
"What are principles of play"?

"Principles of play are a common language spoken by all the players, where they recognise a situation and recognise how to behave in a specific situation, it's something don't pre determined"

Cit.


I fully agree and it's one of the pillars of my training methodology, work by principles and not by patterns.

This is the only way to have players able to take decisions by themselves
