It was nice to be invited to write a chapter for Light and Harvey's latest instalment of the Positive Pedagogy interpretation of Game Game Sense coaching. In 1994, I commenced a Level 2 Australian football (AFL) coaching course during which, the concept of coaching game sense was introduced to me in a meaningful way through the work of Rick Charlesworth, and his concept of ‘ designer games ’ (Charlesworth, 1994).
