Skills, Thrills & Bellyaches

A Podcast for Children's Football Coaches. We focus on how to deliver better sessions, be a better coach and develop young players into the best players and people they can be. Our focus is on the demands of the modern children's coach. We talk about how to tackle the weekly demands of coaching - from the technical, tactical, social, psychological and physical 'corners'.We look at the pre-match player (5&6 year olds),five-a-side (7&8 year olds),seven-a-side (9&10 year olds),nine-a-side (11 & 12 year olds) and eleven-a-side (13+). The three coaches are an emerging international coach Chris Smith, an extremely experienced children's coach Nick Gordon Brown and an enthusiastic Dad, Paul Reaney. (Chris is UEFA B, Nick Level 2 and Paul studying for Level 2) - we hope you enjoy.
