A football coaches role is multi-faceted from being knowledgeable about tactics and technical aspects of the game to being well versed in their understanding of physical attributes and diet.  Psycho-social aspects also form a big part of the role too.  Developing, managing and disciplining players whilst trying to get the best out of them, day in day out is far from an easy job.  This forms the motivation behind this podcast episode, the last of a 3-part series aimed to support football coaches.  You’ll hear me discuss self-determination theory and the importance of being connected to each other as a coach/player, player and coach personality types as well as social and task leadership.

Enjoy tuning in!
