On this episode you’ll hear me talk about waves. To me, this was the biggest take away from the classroom sessions that I attended while I was in Barcelona.

Here is a definition of “waves” from a Spanish study, with a minor adaptation made by me:

Attempting to emphasize and/or correct a specific game moment in a discontinuous way, considering the time of the activity will depend on the team that has ball possession. (Castellano 2005, Sans i Frattarola 1996)

Here at 3four3, we use the terms “choreography” and “attacking patterns”. These are what I would call “American waves”.

Not sure what an American wave looks like?

Well… I suggest signing up for and starting with our free course. In lesson five, you will hear Brian Kleiban discuss attacking patterns and give examples of this type of training.
