Today’s guest is Grant McLeod who is a youth development coach from Scotland. He currently holds a Bachelors degree in Sport & Exercise Science, UEFA C Licence and ASCA accreditation. 

Grant started his career as a football coach with the Scottish Football Association, before working with a number of professional football clubs as a sport scientist and also as a strength and conditioning coach for the University of Stirling. 

Following this Grant spent 4 years working in South East Asia initially as a strength and conditioning coach in Singapore and then most recently as manager of Pre Academy and Womens Football at Buriram United's Football Development Programme in Thailand.

Grant and I discuss the highs and lows of coaching abroad and how his career pathway has educated and empowered him on his coaching journey.
