The idea behind this blog is to share my views and experiences a sports coaching, mainly football, but slowly branching out into more sports. The reason as to why I want to share my experiences is so that others can comment back with their own, ultimately leading to future development.

Firstly, a little about myself and my journey so far. I am currently a FA Level 1 qualified football coach, having achieved this a little over 12 months ago, and with this I am currently co-coaching a local youth team at under 11s. Having gained my qualification this opened up the opportunity to work in primary schools running mixed sport sessions, which in itself has pushed me to develop my coaching methods. On top of all this, I am study Sports Coaching at university.

My overall aim is to gain a solid career within coaching hence why I am working towards my degree. My short term aim, is to complete the next FA qualification (Level 2), and continue to develop as much as possible across multiple sports.

Over the next few weeks, I post about getting back into coaching following the summer off, with a particular view into pre-season training.

Any feedback is always welcome, especially for a newbie!

Thanks for joining me!
