Tactical IQ.
Precision Engineered.
Professional-level tactical analysis and coach development, brought directly to players, coaches and clubs.
MR21 is Maurice Ross’s way of giving something back to the game that shaped him — bringing professional-level tactical analysis and coach development directly to players, coaches and clubs.
It’s built on a playing career and a coaching eye people have always rated: sharp tactical thinking, real football intelligence, and an instinct for the game that comes from having lived it. Now, that same thinking is available as a direct, tailored service — helping the next generation of players and coaches see the game a little more clearly.
Bespoke football player & coach intelligence
Nothing is priced or packaged rigidly. Every player, coach and club is working towards something different, so each engagement is built around what you actually need.
Club Coach
Development
Maurice works with a club’s coaching staff as a group — on-grass session design through to off-grass presentations, planning and evaluation, building a shared tactical language across the age groups and teams you lead. Designed for clubs who want consistency in their coaching philosophy without the cost of putting every coach through formal badges individually.
What’s included
- Full two-day on-site programme (minimum 4 coaches, maximum 8)
- Individual coach evaluations — presenting to a group, session plan thread, pitch setup, “ball rolling” monitored, body language, tonality of voice, frequency of coaching points
- Documented summary of each individual coach with a progression plan
- Individual video showing your presentation abilities and deficiencies
Individual Coach
Development
For coaches investing in their own development, on their own initiative. Over a single week, Maurice observes two training sessions and a matchday, then delivers a full breakdown of what he sees.
What’s included
- Free consultation prior to the week-long evaluation
- Two training session observations per week
- Pre and post training evaluation — planning, the team talks before, how the session flows, and how you interact with staff and players alike
- One matchday observation per week
- Pre and post matchday evaluation — the team talk, half-time, in-game details, body language and frequency of interactions with players and officials, culminating in a one-to-one with Maurice
- Full written breakdown — timings, intensity, detail on and off the ball, coaching points, succession plan

Start the ConversationWhat people take away from working with Maurice
Players, coaches and clubs on what changed once someone was watching properly.
He watched two sessions and told me more about my coaching in an hour than I had worked out in three seasons. None of it was comfortable. All of it was right.
The analysis was not a highlights reel. It was the passes I did not make, and why I did not see them. That is the bit nobody had ever shown me.
We had eight coaches all teaching the same game a different way. Two days later we had one language. That is the thing you cannot buy on a badge course.
What stood out was that he coached my son as a person first. The football advice was excellent. The way he spoke to him was better.
Insights from inside the game
Breakdowns, thinking and analysis on the tactics shaping football today. Some weeks that’s a written piece, others a graphic or a downloadable resource, but the aim is always the same: genuinely useful, honest, insightful content that helps you see the game a little more clearly.

What the second phase tells you about a build-up
Most build-up play gets judged on the first pass. The real tell is what happens two passes later — and it’s the phase most people stop watching. 1 min read

Coaching the decision, not the outcome
A good decision can still end badly. A bad one can still come off. Here’s why Maurice coaches the choice a player made, not just what happened after it. 1 min read

Reading a press: three triggers worth more than the data
The data will tell you a team pressed well. It won’t tell you why. Three genuine triggers separate an organised press from a team just chasing the game. 1 min readIf there’s something specific you’d like to see covered, get in touch — we’re always happy to hear what would be useful to you.
