This week I sat down with the legend himself Mr Mark Christie.

Mark is a coach out in California who started his coaching journey in Aberdeen coaching the women's team, progressing to work with clubs such as the San Jose Earthquakes on the youth side and also running his own football (soccer) company called Euro Soccer Training.

In this chat we talked about Christie's journey into football and coaching starting with seeing the Aberdeen casuals and being hooked on the game since he first stepped foot in Pittodrie. Christie then shares his story as a coach and how he continued to learn and add more tools to his toolbox as he says.

We go into detail on how we can educate parents on how to navigate their child's journey through not just football but any sport and there is a lot of great pieces of advice in here for any young players, parents or coaches. Listen and learn. 

Sit back. Relax. Pour yourself a drink and enjoy the conversation.
