The Developer Tribe

This time out we speak to Pat McGibbon, ex-international professional footballer, including for Manchester United and Wigan Athletic. Though we speak a little about his playing career and the coaches he had, this pod delves into his interest and work in mental health, and using football to support it.

It's interesting to hear how his career and personal circumstances has influenced this next stage of his career and the positive impact his work at PMG services and Train2B Smart has.

At the tribe we will be covering some similar content, focusing for the month of August on Social and Emotional Learning and how this might be achieved in sports coaching. Come join us at http://thedevelopertribe.mn.co to journey with us freely and loyally towards coaching expertise!

Don’t forget to subscribe to the Pod which will go out every Thursday. Thanks for being here and we’ll see you again soon.

This time out we speak to Dr. Cliff Olsson, Senior Lecturer at University of Central Lancashire (UCLAN).

We talk about his journey and research into coach mentoring, what it is, what it isn't, and how we might wield it better for the preparation for, and support on, the developmental journey of a coach.

At the tribe we believe whole-heartedly in the power of mentoring as part of a blend of coach development and learning opportunities. Come join us at http://thedevelopertribe.mn.co where we will be covering coaching and education topics each month with content, webinars, Q and As and more. It’s an exciting time and we hope to welcome you to the tribe soon as part of the 10,000 practitioners we’re seeking to impact this year. If that sounds like you, go check it out!
