The Powered by Joy (PBJ) Model is rooted in developmental science and best-practice delivery methods. It incorporates innovative training techniques, small-sided games, the Power of Play, low-anxiety environments, futsal, differential learning, and a constraints-led approach. Blending these elements with ample variable play and guided by Andrei Gotsmanov, the PBJ Model creates optimal and developmentally appropriate learning environments.

​

​

The Powered By Joy Model is building interest from around the world as a new, healthy, and refreshing delivery of sport.

  • Self-determination theory​

  • Dr. Marianne Torbert - Expansion, Equalization, Interactive challenge

  • Mosston's slanty-line theory

  • Flow State theory - Dr. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi

  • Wolfgang Shullhorn - Differential learning theory - overload and underload theory

  • Constraints-Led approach & Non-linear Pedagogy theory

  • Implicit vs. Explicit learning theory

  • System 1 and System 2 thinking theory

  • Self-organized theory -  "learn how to learn"

  • Stephen Krashen's Acquisition-Learning theory 

PHILOSOPHY

  • Person. The Person comes first, sportsmanship, character.

  • Player. Next come the player and all the amazing things they can do with the ball.

  • Team. Playing well with others. Social skills.

​

DEVELOPMENT PRIORITY

  • Competition (games) are important.

  • Practice (training) is more important than games.

  • Play (pick-up) is more important than practice.

  • Longterm (Joy) approach is the most important

​


TRAINING METHODOLOGY​

  • Age appropriate activities

  • Technique is more important than physical (speed, strength). Everything is done with a ball

  • One step at a time: 1 v 0, 1 v 1, 2 v 1, 2 v 2, 3 v 3,

  • Creating fun learning training ENVIRONMENTS 

 

PLAY PRINCIPLES​

  •  Small sided, futsal

  • Differential learning

  • Constraints-led approach

  • Ball on the ground

  • Best pass is a dribble into space

​

 

COMPETITION GOALS

  • The best sportsmanship. The best in fair play. The least fouls.

  • The first in enjoyment.  

  • Redefine winning as best effort, skill mastery and love of the game.
