Description

Curious about how to leave a lasting positive impact on your players while managing dynamic and inclusive sessions? 

In this episode, we’re joined by FA PE officer, Amanda Greenslade, to discuss her journey into coaching and get valuable advice for coaches on delivering and managing sessions effectively. 

Amanda brings a wealth of experience from her work with both qualified and trainee teachers, helping them develop their ability to deliver high-quality PE, particularly in educational settings. From her first experience with football in a small Devon village to her current role with The FA, Amanda's journey offers plenty of insights for coaches at all levels. 

We get loads of practical and tactical advice for running sessions for all ages and abilities from what to look out for when players arrive on the pitch, to how to manage behaviour during sessions, and making the most out of the often limited time you have available. 

In this episode, we cover: 

• Top football coaching tips for new coaches. 
• How to ensure you're leaving a positive impact on players. 
• Body language tells that coaches should be looking out for in players when they arrive. 
• What we can learn from coaching sports other than football. 
• Signs that players aren't engaged in a session. 
• How to ensure sessions are accessible to all players. 
• Strategies for managing poor behaviour and using praise effectively. 
• Handling mistakes and knowing when to intervene. 
• How to make the most of your sessions so no time is wasted. 
• And plenty more…
