Welcome back to a brand-new season of Coachcast! This time we’re focusing on how you can provide your players with inspirational opportunities. This is all about what players get to experience; such as the environments they play in and what they do in training.

In the first episode of season two, our futsal development lead, Ian Parkes, joins us to talk about – you guessed it – futsal! Ian provides an insightful introduction to the game, before helping Michael from Dorset with his coaching challenges and taking on our swift session feature.
