What is Coach Development like with me?
No jargon
Practical advice you can use in your next session
Honest conversations, not lectures
Support when you need it
Development at your pace
Coaching that puts children first
My Beliefs
Children are not Mini Adults
Better questions lead to better thinkers
The environment shapes learning
Balancing guidance with freedom
Mistakes are opportunities to learn, not failures
Football is about developing people as much as players
Bespoke In House Practical Workshops
Theoretical Sessions
"I'm struggling to plan sessions."
"I don't know how to deal with difficult parents."
"The players don't make good decisions."
"I don't know how much I should intervene."
"I'm not enjoying coaching as much as I think I should."
Wonders if you're coaching in the "right" way.
Struggles to keep every player engaged.
Finds session planning takes too long.
Wants players to think for themselves rather than always telling them what to do.

Supplementary Coach Development
Clubs:
Have you got a group of coaches who have their Level 1 / Introduction to Coaching Football or FA Level 2 / UEFA C qualifications, and would you like them to receive further support to enhance their knowledge... then this is for you.
Coaches:
Would you like the opportunity to add to and complement your existing information and knowledge and be better prepared for the next stage of your coaching journey, adding additional tools to your toolbox... then this is for you.
In House:
This could be hosted at your club, or you could be a hub and host workshops with other club coaches attending the event.
There is also an option for having online workshops, if this sometimes preferred, or a mixture of both.
