Two coaches shouldn’t mean twice the instructions.
Before kick-off, split the jobs:
🗣️ Lead coach: gives any live tactical information.
👀 Assistant coach: watches one agreed area off-ball movement, defensive distances or pressing and records three examples.
At half-time, compare notes and agree on one message for the players.
Both coaches can encourage. The problem starts when two voices give different solutions to the same player.
One voice. Two pairs of eyes. Better information.
