Our Coaches
The coaching approach.
More than drills
Good coaching is about more than setting up exercises. It’s about knowing when to push, when to encourage and when to let a young player find the answer themselves.
Our coaches are being brought together around one simple idea: every player leaves each session a little better, and a little more confident, than they arrived.
The coaching approach shown is illustrative. Final staffing and programme details are to be confirmed by the camp.
