In this new episode Katie and Simon discuss how we might rethink mistakes and failure on and off the football pitch.

With their guests: Clare Rafferty (Former England, Chelsea and West Ham defender), Richard Allen (FIFA High Performance Specialist and Talent ID Technical Lead), Michael Wright (~Former Southampton FC Head of Academy Coaching and now Head of Academy Coaching at Forest Green Astrid Lockwood (Stoke City Women's Team Footballer) they explore what professional clubs and players think of mistakes, how embracing them improves your football and what happens to your game if you play to avoid mistakes.

As usual Simon tests Katie's football knowledge and they answer questions from the listeners. A must listen to if you are a parent or a coach looking to improve the mindsets, resilience and skills of footballers.
