Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Pretty much. Weekday courses tend to be classroom based, you'll learn very little coaching in these sessions. Then at the weekend you go out, and the FA Tutor takes you through the drills, and you and the other guys will be the 'players'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 and you'll need shinpads too. Probably worthwhile having a pen & paper too, if you want to take some notes. Lots to take in on the weekend session! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliGupter Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I think I've got some shinpads somewhere, cheers bro. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I haven't read the book, but I'm aware of the guy's general musings. Think there was a preview/article about the book in 442 a few months ago. http://www.frequencyinstitute.com/energy/words/e-books/442-bounce-by-matthew-syed.html http://au.fourfourtwo.com/Features/6785,the-talent-myth.aspx http://fourfourtwo.com/blogs/fourfourtwoview/archive/2010/10/01/exclusive-pele-at-70-20-page-interview.aspx - October Issue http://www.footballmanagerfanboys.net/index.php/featured/football-manager-editorials/is-potential-ability-a-myth-r264 http://bleacherreport.com/articles/511541-part-i-fourfourtwo-soccer-football-magazine-details-the-talent-myth Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 You'll be fine, man. Expect a glowing review when you return about how you sat for 3 hours and learned all about grassroots administration. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Heneage Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Random but if any of you guys have an Android phone their's a tactics board app called Sports Board. It's really good f not a little fiddley. Cheaper than an iPad! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliGupter Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 You'll be fine, man. Expect a glowing review when you return about how you sat for 3 hours and learned all about grassroots administration.

AliGupter Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 That was good fun, definitely should have taken a drink though, I knew I needed one, can only blame myself really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Yeah, always take a drink - ALWAYS! Glad you're enjoying it, how close/different is it from what you were expecting? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliGupter Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 It's pretty much what I was expecting, the only thing that has come as surprise is how unfit I am, can't believe I did the Great North Run just last year. When he was going through the pairs that are taking each session next week I actually wanted to be picked, I'm never like that, I'll be the week after though, hope I get something like Duos or Robin Hood in the assessment, would be a piece of piss... Got the safeguarding thing on Wednesday, what's that like? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Safeguarding is pretty easy, almost a little pointless, in the sense that you don't really learn anything that isn't common sense. They could do, and should do, so much more with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 LTPD stuff is going great, made some good contacts and enjoyed watching different coaches work. Only a few weeks left after Easter though, I don't want it to end Doing something at the end of May, but nothing coaching wise, but happy to be involved!
