  • Structured Framework: A clear structure for delivering half-time experiences and talks, making it easier for coaches to follow and implement.
  • Inspirational Content: Inspirational and motivational content, including quotes, videos, and stories to inspire players during half-time.

  • Game-Changing Ideas: Creative and innovative ideas to inspire new approaches and tactics in the second half.
  • Player Engagement Strategies: Increasing player involvement and engagement during half-time discussions.

Minute9 adopts the Constraints-Led Coaching (CLC) approach. Coaches will use a variety of constraints to improve their half-times. CLC constraints are categorised into three main categories: task, environmental, and individual.
