Episode 1: Coaching's Quiet Superpower

Welcome to the very first episode of the Game Plan Coaching Podcast: where we share short, practical coaching conversations designed to spark ideas you can apply, adapt, or reflect on in your own coaching.

In this debut episode, I’m joined by Martin Dighton, a coach who’s spent the last 20 years helping players and coaches thrive.

Martin’s coaching journey started in a professional football club and later took him to 14 years at The FA in coaching and coach development roles. These days, he works at UK Coaching, supporting coaches in the performance pathway across a wide range of sports.

In this conversation, we explore:

• Why helping young players feel they belong is at the heart of good coaching.

It’s an honest, down-to-earth chat with plenty of ideas you can take straight into your own sessions.
