 I've been involved at all levels of football for well over 40 years now but I suppose the building blocks, the foundations of my coaching career would go back to when I trained as a PE teacher. It gave me a great base and a start. I learned very quickly about planning and preparation, organisation and three other key areas. How to observe things, how to use a variety of communication skills and find out about how different players later on, different cultures learned their learning styles and what they would prefer. There was a big show at the NEC, I think that was about 2011. So that started a very healthy relationship at Southampton with Snowbald and obviously the coaching manual used lots of the age group coaches at Southampton to basically show what's in all situation. So it wasn't stage matched, the footage was captured live so it showed the things that the players were good at and also the mistakes that they made. So it's true, it's not manufactured which I think is very important. Some coaches that like to get on courses collect badges and it really enhances the CV. Unfortunately some of those types of courses don't actually use some of the information, some of the trends and practices that will help them develop. It's more of a collection. The second type of coach has the mantra of seeking excellence, the excellence that they can develop. They are always seeking knowledge and they're like a sponge. So the sponge is full of ideas, the good coaches will squeeze the sponge and keep in the things that are relevant to their career and will help their players become better and better. They are the proverbial students of the game. Everybody talks about principles of play but what are the real principles of play? You know what are the important orders? So people talk about pressing, yep certainly a principle but you can't always do that so we want to give more information that allows people to think about you know what actually works rather than what is fashionable at the moment. If you're quite an experienced coach and you think it will be more of a refresher there might be different terminologies. I think it will stimulate people's thinking, I think people will be challenged and I think for the more inexperienced coaches it will open their eyes up to all sorts of different methods to make them a better coach. you
