Episode 59 - Coaching U12's, a conversation with the awesome Michael Thomas, U12 Everton RTC coach and creator of the e-book `Foundation Phase Sessions`

In this episode we talk to the awesome Michael Thomas (@MickThomo) about coaching U12's. We discuss Michael's coaching background and philosophy and then look at some of the specific aspects to consider and focus on when coaching this age group.

Michael has over 15 years of experience working in football and education, coaching players from grassroots to academy level. As a coach, Michael has worked across the globe representing premier league clubs coaching a variety of age groups within both the male and female pathways. 

As a coach mentor with the English FA, Michael has supported grassroots coaches at all levels from youth to senior. Currently he combines a number of job roles including working as a YDP coach at a category 3 academy, FP coach at a WSL RTC and his full-time role working as a Sports Lecturer at a FE college in the North West.

Michael also discusses his superb e-book `Foundation Phase Sessions` which includes foundation phase practices and SSG's. https://payhip.com/michaelthomas
