Thoughts on Charlie Francis and soccer

avoid the speculation if you follow how the individual player plays via his preperation. Team sports rely on ‘others’ to also perform. Also on how well an opposing team is, They as a unit might be much better this season than last. So you cant compare Team against Team in an S&C manner.
If each individual is fitter, stronger and faster than last yr, yet they are still loosing matches, then its a Skill shortage or a team Bonding issue.
Just because you’re winning now, wont mean a team who has equal skill also, but lacks general fitness and a touch of speed say, wont beat you next year.
Eg, if skill is the same level, then fitness/speed/strength will become the deciding factor.
We know Usain isnt 10x better than everybody, its only 1%. 0.10 of a sec in a 100m race is only 1%.
If soccer or any other team sport is 80% skill and 20% fitness/speed/strength, then you had better make that 20% count… Esp when only a mear 1% means Everything

Yes and the higher the level the smaller the % that matters

This is especially important for teams who want to win on a continuous basis, not just a once off
