Welcome along to 'COACHING DIARIES' - a brand new series from The Honest Football Podcast. This series sees one of our hosts, Charlie, a part time football coach and PE teacher, meet the great and the good in the world of sport. As a teacher, Charlie has always been fascinated by the way coaching works in different sports and the impact they can have on me as a football coach. Each week, we meet coaches from different parts of the sporting world. We will drill down into their philosophies, values and techniques in their field and find out what makes them so great at what they do.
We meet the incredible Ali Speechly AKA 'Coach Ali' (@_CoachAli_). Ali is without doubt one of the most passionate and dedicated coaches you will ever meet. Our discussion really centres around Ali's coaching philosophy which is Engage - Educate - Empower. Ali is a level 3 coach who is working towards her Uefa B completion and she primarily works at a women's grassroots club and coaches in the community for a professional team. You will struggle to meet a more caring and inspiring coach than Coach Ali! It really is a brilliant episode! Enjoy!
