Hello & Welcome to episode 19, in Season 2 of the 6, 8 or 10 Podcast.
Today I'm joined by friend, Charley King. Charley is the 18's Head Coach at Queens Park & host of his new podcast First Touch Forward.
I've know him for 10 years, that's a third of my life. We met at college in the City Centre of Glasgow while studying Sports Coaching and Development in Sport. I'm delighted he accepted the invitation when I asked him to come on the show.
An obvious topic in recent podcast is lockdown, I speak to him about he and the players are adapting and moving on with it. We also speak about our time together at college and how we feel it helped when moving into the real world.
We then take a trip back to his childhood, somewhere I always like to go with guests to talk about his memories and heroes.
His coaching journey is inspiring, it speaks for itself. He has spent 10 years at Queens Park, which means he should be due a testimonial any time soon. He worked his way from Community Classes to Head Coach of the 18s. An impressive journey, one that he has sacrificed a lot of time too.
A current UEFA A Licence coach, we speak to him about his experiences on the licence courses and the words he has for aspiring young players.
Queens Park is his home, Mr Queens Park as some may see him. He has spent a lot of his time working with the players at the club and developing them for the future, no matter what their future may be.
