I’m a grassroots coach and I cannot stop listening to this podcast. Il be honest I have tried others but this one hits the back of the net for so many different reasons. Easy listening, very educational and really helps me as a coach. From planning to understanding and thinking outside of the box this podcast will really kick you off on your journey or help you through extra time ⚽️⚽️
Keep trying other podcasts & still keep coming back to this one. Some much insight that informs, validates & educates.
Thanks Saul.
