That's right; you read the title correctly. Our guest today is Nigel Hadley, the head football coach at the University of East Anglia. Coach Hadley is a football coach, not a soccer coach, in England.

Coach Hadley was born and raised in the UK but was bitten by the American Football bug in 1974 while watching Franco Harris and the Pittsburgh Steelers on the tele. He has been coaching American football since 1996 and became the Head Coach at the University of East Anglia, in 2019.

Nigel and his team are members of the British American Football Coaches Association. You can reach him at [email protected].

I hope you enjoy this fascinating and informative conversation with someone who loves football as much as we do here in the States.
