Liam Gilbert: The Golden Thread


Listen Later

In this episode of the Game Plan Coaching Podcast, I’m joined by Liam Gilbert, a coach who’s spent over a decade developing high-performing teams in the women’s game.

Liam’s coached at every level - from grassroots to the Women’s Championship - with roles at Eastleigh, Oxford United, Reading, and Burnley as well as leading football at Oxford High School.

Across every environment, he’s built a reputation for creating strong team cultures, shared identity, and clear, purposeful coaching.

In this conversation, we explore:

  • What Liam learned from coaching and managing in senior women’s football.
  • The power of process, structure, and adaptability in practice design.
  • Why accountability and humility drive stronger teams.
  • And how to create a golden thread that runs through your sessions - connecting every activity with a shared purpose.
