  • Insightful and thoughtful perspective

    This is such a great listen so far. It really helps to understand the job and process coaches take and really helps you remember this is a game based around personal development.

    Not only helpful if you’re looking to get deep insights into football (soccer) coaching but a lot of the conversations talk about interacting with other humans and that can be applied to all aspects of your life.

    Thoroughly recommend.
