robbo_11 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I was caretaker manager today for an U12 team. Helped them to their first win of the season in the divisional cup with a 3-2 victory and managed to give all kids around about the same game time! Nice one, Robbo, who was that for? Forest Hall. I've been helping out for a few weeks when I can. Have set up a tasty rivals match with the Eagles U12s haha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Heneage Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 What was the lecture like btw? Also out of curiosity how far are you guys from UEFA B? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 You know, I didn't go in the end. Haven't heard anything about it though, and when I asked people about it, no one seemed to know anything about it. TheGuv is 1/2 way to UEFA B, as he's passed his Level 2. I'll know by the end of this year if I've passed my Level 2. UEFA B = Level 2+Level 3 together. Youth Award is worth having too, as most places have started to require you to have that if you want to work in CoE and Academies. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lTIcmjvpx60/TWKZyEa5smI/AAAAAAAAAr0/Up1HOgdUhkg/s1600/coachingpathway_800.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Heneage Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Now on top of that do you do any personal work? I mean coaching strikes me as something that you decide what you learn. Obviously there's an element of academia but do you study other nations even leagues for example? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I do, personally. I've taken an interest in Germany in the last year or two, mainly due to their turn around at youth level. Most people admire Spain, rightly so, but Germany's story is more interesting to me as it I look at it and think 'That should have been England.'. Good article about Germany's Youth Development in this month's (October 2011) FourFourTwo magazine, actually. They've had one on Spain and England already. Going to take a bit of time out between now and the Summer to look more into how it works over in America. Try to be prepared for when I'm over there. I've got a feeling its going to be based heavily on Coerver Coaching, but I'm not too sure. In regards what I learn though, it is very much up to the coach. You can sit back and take what you're given in the courses you go to, or you can actively seek and learn things yourself. That could be reading books and watching DVDs, or, as I prefer, going to watch other coaches work. Newcastle United Foundation actually do a really good thing where every month they hold Coaching Clinics and show different coaching sessions to anyone who has the desire to improve their coaching knowledge. Not only is good for that, but its a great way to build a network too (which is half of getting yourself a job in coaching). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Heneage Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Not bad, and are jobs readily available with the flexibility to let you try your own brand of coaching? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Not bad, and are jobs readily available with the flexibility to let you try your own brand of coaching? Not sure I have enough experience to answer that fully. I know the Philly job role is has a set criteria of what they want to teach over the week that I'm with a group. However, I was told that they were happy to allow me to coach them in a way I'm comfortable with. It'll all depend on who you're working for, I guess. If you're a coach that focuses more on development, you're not going to fit in well with a club that focuses on the 'now' and the 'winning'. Like I said, I don't have a huge amount of experience to answer the question fully. Grassroots is all about the development. Foundation is about development. Philly is about development. Hopefully I get the chance to work at 'Elite Level' and find out if coaching principles are allowed to continue. It'll come down to coaching style. Autocratic coaches will produce the 'better' players quicker, but ultimately, in theory, they peak quickly and then hit a wall in their development. As the coach is telling the players what to do all the time. So, really, that's your typical 'British Coach'. You see them plenty at Grassroots level, usually the older guys. PASS! PASS! PASS! SHOOT! TAKE HIM ON! TACKLE HIM! RUN! Often get called 'Joystick Coaches'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
