  • Disappointing

    This started off as a useful coaching resource. It has over the subsequent series turned into a forum for coaches to tell there journey. With a few 30 second sessions thrown in as an after thought. Don’t really understand its purpose anymore.

  • Excellent Support for Coaches.

    I am very impressed with all the resources from England Football Learning and the improvements made to help coach education. I am a keen listener of podcasts and I really appreciate the transcript download. This is an excellent learning resource and I look forward to future episodes. Great to have the Foundation Coach Legend In Pete Sturgess to kick things off. Thank you, Bob.
