This time out Jackie Bushell, football and futsal coach, coach educator, and head of education at a League One club joins us on the pod. We talk about her project on the FA Advanced Youth Award, looking at the theoretical and practical implications of the adolescent brain on coaching practice. Jackie does brilliantly here of explaining to us how this area of maturation affects the brain and players' engagement with practice, giving us plenty of recommendations for our coaching.

Once you've had a listen, come on over to the Tribe at http://thedevelopertribe.mn.co to continue the conversation with coaches and educators. What’s more is you can work with Jackie directly as as part of RECODE, our multiple mentoring service where we help you create your coaching reality. Just reach out via the network for more details and to set it up!
