Shouting!!
Having been around a few matches this season it's clear that a lot of our coaches are "one trick ponies" in that they shout. I don't mean shouting to players but shouting at players.

Works for Gary Megson
I got told to shut off a few times by my coach cause I used to shout my own calls, but very often when I am playing if I get a ball on a counter attack or some similar important situation it's so hard to actually hear anything, and you have to decide for yourself.

Because they are not very good coaches. Maybe they are just carrying on re-enacting what they grew up with. The better you have done your off field coaching the more you can shut up during the game.
I suppose if you are a rep coach or a pro coach where you are selecting the squad first you can select only the players that like being shouted at but it's a bloody sad priority. Club coaches who rant on the sideline are a blight and should retire to gardening or similar low blood pressure activities.
Here in New Zealand we prefer big headed cocks as opposed to a far more skillful player.

I find that usually if you provide a few simple instructions to each player to remind them of their role and what to focus on, then the overall balance of their game playing should be effective.
Depending which players you instruct and the position/role they are working with, you can set an overall team plan. The concept in playing for each other is one of the strongest ones to use in developing teamwork.
Some players (risk takers) need to know that it's ok to try different things, now and again but realise that they don't always have take a risk all the time as they could keep possession, others (risk adverse) need to know that they work to help the overall teamwork and balance but to try a couple of things if there is a chance that opens up. Some needs to know to work in communication with certain players, others need to know to change their direction of passing so they are not too predictable. Some need to know to that they need to support certain players, others need to know not to isolate themselves without support. It knowing each players nature and giving them balance in their play. At half time, you can refine their roles in respect to what they are actually doing on the field with the opposition. Also telling what they must adjust accordingly to the game situation. Bear in mind what they must do to work as a team, they will improve and be tighter in the second half.

Nearly fell off my chair when you said that coaches who shout ay their players are not good coaches.
Half of all coaches in NZ and the EPL would be in this mode.
I have never heard such a load of crap in my life?
I've worked with kids who've burst into tears the second you even slightly raise your voice. On the flipside I know several players who've always had someone yelling at them (not just at football probably) and they play at their best when having instructions barked at them.
The trick seems to be working out what works for what players.
Thinking back to my playing days I had 2 stand out coaches; one was a younger guy, very laid back unless we really stuffed things up/showed ill discipline and the other a loud, angry pommy git who always seemed to be at full volume with a slight negative tone.
It is all about keeping the right amount of each. Be it shouting at players or keeping quiet in the right moment/with the right player. Some players need this 'push' from a coach, this extra bit of adrenaline which is created by gaffer shouting on the line. This is a part of football.
It is all a matter of having the right proportions - like with so many other things in life

I know what you are saying, but what IF you had coached your players that if there was a free kick 20 metres outside the box, right in front, and you wanted 5 in the wall, and there was only 3?

We are obviously not in Sir AF's class, Have you seen the shocking abuse he gave to Evans in this mornings game?
It is up to the keeper, but I would not be a happy chappie if my keeper only had 3 in the wall.
So what's the difference?
