Getting Your Game Sense

Recently I was asked what I meant when I spoke or wrote about coaching “GAME SENSE”. I said in reply that he was simply coaching how to play the “game”, no matter what the sport. I went on to say that my understanding of game sense was taught to me by observing children at play. Take a group of 20 children anywhere, street or field or whatever, and they have two balls between them. Whatever their interest, say maybe gaelic football, rugby or soccer, they’ll quickly divide into perhaps two games of five-a-side.
