The Talent Equation Podcast

A family's experience should not be defined by the coach they get...it should be organisationally defined" - a conversation with Tom Shields

Tom Shields boasts an impressive resume. His bio on the STA Soccer website reads...

"A native of Hull, England, Technical Director Tom Shields joined STA with an exhaustive list of previous coaching and educational experience, making him one of the most progressive young coaches in the country.

Holding both a Masters in Sport Psychology and an Undergraduate Degree in Sport Coaching, alongside experience as a University Professor in Sports Coaching and Sport and Exercise Science at Leeds Metropolitan University, and countless published articles, Tom helps STA blend together the worlds of education and coaching.

The former Head Coach of Hull City Ladies (FA Women’s Premier League) and the University of Hull, an Assistant and NCAA Division I Title Winning Coach at Central Connecticut State University, The Director of Player Performance and Pedagogy at Rutgers University, US Club Soccer Boys ID2 National Staff Coach, ODP and Region I Staff Coach, United Soccer Coaches (formerly NSCAA) Associate National Staff Coach and former Development and Community Coach at Hull City, Leeds United and Bradford City, the experiences that Tom can draw upon to share with our membership are significant.

In addition, he holds a USSF A Youth License, USSF National Youth License, NSCAA Premier Diploma and NSCAA Director of Coaching Diploma along with a number of FA and LMA certifications."

Tom joins me after our recent attendance as speaking at the United Soccer Coaches Convention to discuss how he works as a leader of a local sports organisation and develops his coaching workforce to be the best that they can be using the ecological dynamics as the theory of learning and human development as the basis of their approach - with considerable success.

I really enjoyed this conversation...I hope you do too.
