                                                            Transcript on England Football Community

                                                            Getting more women involved in coaching has a transformative impact on growing players. In this episode, Sharon Muxworthy-McIvor, shares with us her journey into her role as an FA coach development officer. Sharon’s support is targeted at growing women. We speak in depth about the importance of getting more women into the game and how those who are interested can get involved. 

                                                            The opportunity to play in a team wasn’t available for Sharon when she was in school. And while many more women are now playing and coaching football, some barriers still remain that we need to work together to break down. We speak about how we can collectively form a more inclusive landscape for the game and how men can become supportive allies. 

                                                            Sharon shares plenty of fantastic coaching tips on how to ensure players are having fun and how to better connect and communicate with them. She also offers insights into the free "Stepping Over the Sidelines" workshops that support women in taking the first steps into getting involved with coaching. 

                                                            Covered in this episode:

                                                            • The influence that playing and coaching other sports has had on Sharon’s football coaching approach.

                                                                Transcript on England Football Community

                                                                In this episode, we’re joined by FA youth coach developer, Phil Shead. Phil looks after five northeast-based clubs and brings with him plenty of top tips for coaches. He shares with us his journey so far and how he got to the position he’s in today.

                                                                We speak in depth about the transformational power of a people-focused approach to coaching over a more task-focused one. Phil speaks about the benefits that he’s seen first-hand after he began focusing more on developing individuals. He shares advice on how coaches can think more ‘people first’ and how to support individual player development while working with a team.

                                                                Phil also gives his insight into session design. We learn how coaches can use STEP to design sessions that allow their players to get better and how coaches can tell when it’s the right time to alter their session. Phil also explains the practice spectrum and how can it help player development. And we speak about small-sided games and how they can benefit players.

                                                                Covered in this episode:

                                                                  Transcript on England Football Community

                                                                  To kick off the first episode of season 4, we’re joined by Clare Daniels & Pete Sturgess to discuss the Play Phase and their advice for how all adults can play a positive role in creating the best environment for players. 

                                                                  Clare & Pete give us the low-down on what exactly the Play Phase is and how it came about. The Play Phase is more than just a phase, it’s a philosophy, and we learn how the power of play can help children to build skills for life, not just for football. We also learn about the role of the ‘captains of play’ of the Play Phase and what their role is. 

                                                                  We get insight into the role of parents and carers in the Play Phase. The Play Phase doesn’t always look like football, and it’s essential to communicate the benefits of the philosophy with parents and carers. Clare & Pete share tips for how captains of play can get parents and carers on board, and how parents and carers can support their children before, during and after a Play Phase session. 

                                                                  Covered in this episode:

                                                                  • Why it doesn’t matter that the Play Phase doesn’t always look like football.
                                                                  • Why are coaches in the Play Phase referred to as ‘captains of play’?
                                                                  • Why assessing children by how many goals they've scored shouldn’t be the main focus. 
                                                                  • How to get parents on board with the Play Phase philosophy. 
                                                                  • What questions should parents and carers be asking coaches and captains of play? 
                                                                  • If parents or carers dissagree with a coach how should they approach it?
                                                                  • The benefits of parents/carers and coaches working together.

We dive deep into four key topics - observation, environment, player engagement and effective communication and our guests share some indispensable, actionable tips for coaches in these areas.

                                                                    Firstly, we get Andy and Sam’s thoughts on what observation really means and how to observe during sessions effectively. We find out what coaches should be looking for when observing and different approaches to how coaches can make the best out of their observations.

                                                                    We speak about the importance of creating the right environment for players, and how to make sure that it’s fun and inclusive. We also discover what player ownership is and how it can be a powerful coaching tool.

                                                                    It can be harder to keep younger players engaged, and Andy and Sam offer advice on planning engaging sessions and keeping players engaged throughout. We learn about the signs that coaches should look out for to know that players are engaged in a session.

                                                                    And finally, we speak about the importance of communication and who coaches need to be developing good relationships with. Andy and Sam give advice on forging relationships with parents and how this can help the players.

                                                                    Don’t miss this bumper episode to round out the season, and be sure to stay subscribed so you don’t miss the start of the next season!

In this episode, we’re joined by game insights analysts, Katie Sorenson and Dan Simpson, to give us their Women’s World Cup insights and find out how coaches can take inspiration from tournament football. Katie and Dan also share with us what fixtures have caught their eye and which teams and players they’ll be keeping a close eye on.

                                                                      We look at how coaches can observe games and apply their observations to their practices. Going in with a plan can help coaches get the most out of what they obverse and our guests offer guidance on how to do this. We also learn about what inspiration coaches can take away from international tournaments.

                                                                      Our guests also speak on the benefits of game realistic practices, particularly for children. And we get some actionable examples of practices that coaches can use. Finally, Katie and Dan share with us where you, as a coach, can access valuable content to support you with applying your analysis of the tournament to your practices.

                                                                      Covered in this episode:
