Hi, mine name is George (GTQ).

I have only recently found this site and I have since made several contributions. I have been a qualified coach since 1969 and have always sought to increase my knowledge. I also hold  a diploma in Sports Science, was a tutor/assessor for the FA for many years, have managed and coached at semi-pro level and was the recruitment officer for the Hull City School of Excellence for a couple of years before leaving to study Sports Science.

After retiring from football for a while I began to watch my 8yr-old grandson train with a local club. Inevitably I have become deeply involved again and I am currently the Head Coach of the club's Junior Section (ages 5-10 yrs).

For those relatively inexperienced coaches out there I would recommend looking up Michael Beale on the internet. Michael is a Chelsea Youth Coach and has written three manuals on 'Warm-ups', 'Small-sided games' and 'Shooting practices'. I heartily recommend them to everyone (and before you ask I have no connection with Michael and came across his publications whilst browsing the net!).

Hope this helps someone!

GTQ

Hi all, New to the site. I coach an U14 side in Dublin, Ireland. I'm 30 years old and have been involved in football all my life in one capacity or another. About 3 years ago, i realised i wasn't good enough to play at the standard i wanted to so decided to give coaching a shot. I've never looked back. I've had my group of lads since then and to say i've enjoyed it would be an understatement. I've always listened to people talk about seeing a player develop and to be honest always thought they were talking rubbish, but the last 3 years have opened my eyes very very wide. I've seen a group of little kids who never played organised football turn into teenagers with bags and bags of ability. It is without a doubt the biggest reason i keep going on them cold, rainy and windy nights.

Hi Everton,

My youngest son age 6 went to the Cardiff City Development in the Afan Lido and now trains with the Pre Academy in Treforest,I coach my oldest son under 9s at the Llanelli Reds Welsh League Academy in West Wales, cant say I love coaching but love watching them play and no-one else seemed to step forward we run teams from under 8s-19s at Academy Level,we play against all the Welsh League sides as well as the Swans,Bristol Rovers etc were always looking for coaches

Cheers

Rich
