This week, Rivo & Rich are joined by grassroots coach, Jo Hawkins.

On the pod, Jo talks about the start of her coaching journey stepping up as a parent at her daughters team which is a path experienced by many grassroots coaches. Jo shares her experiences of coaching qualifications and the importance of Coach Development in particular the Female Coaches Community workshops.

The trio also discuss the importance of a positive experience regardless of the result plus the impact football has to create everlasting memories. Jo also talked about how the online module, The Greater Game, has had an impact on her female players off the pitch.   

Jo also discusses injury prevention in particular in young females, her role as FA Community Champion, the impact the Lionesses has had on females in grassroots football plus her BBFA Female Coach of the Year Award two seasons ago.
