Great pod, Izzy Heath was the best guest so far
Love listening to the Pod. A great insight into what efforts are required at the grassroots level. Also big fan of the Euro special pods !!!
Thanks to the hosts and guests!
I know nothing about football and so purely enjoying listening to learn about coaching & UK based grassroot sport’s infrastructure.
Incredible that the only female coach so far can point to a 15yr lag in promotion opportunities.
That’s perseverance !
Rivo ran a Level 1 FA course I attended last year, these podcasts have been great to continue building coaching insights with a familiar voice. I’ve tried a few coaching Podcasts and this is one of the few that I always look for the new episodes on.
Thought this would be a bit amateur and low tech but the content and production is professional and excellent and couldn’t be more interesting and informative for ordinary grassroots coaches working with local teams
