Grassroots coaches give more than most people realise.

In this episode of the Edge Podcast, Chris talks honestly about the hidden pressure placed on grassroots coaches — especially those coaching their own children.

While managing squads of 10–14 young players, coaches are:
 • keeping substitutes engaged
 • supporting goalkeepers
 • coaching positioning and confidence
 • managing behavior and emotions
 • ensuring every child feels included

And in doing so, they often don’t get to truly watch their own child play.

Goals are missed.
 Special moments pass by.
 Proud memories are never seen — only heard about later.

This episode isn’t about complaint.
 It’s about awareness, appreciation, and teamwork.

A gentle message to parents and communities:
 Grassroots football only works when we work together.

In Episode 20 of the CWC Edge Podcast, Chris dives into real questions from listeners and viewers — covering leadership, Lean culture, personal development, time management, motivation, and the challenges we all face navigating work, family and growth.

This raw, honest Q&A reflects exactly why the CWC Edge community is growing: people want practical answers, straight talk, and real experiences from someone who’s lived it — in the military, on the factory floor, in leadership teams, and in grassroots football.

Ever met someone who just doesn’t care about being late? In this episode, I share a funny but powerful story about timekeeping, discipline, and leadership, from my British Army days to the grassroots football pitch with the Eccleshall Eagles Lionesses, Vixens, and Stafford Falcons.

We’ll talk about why showing up early isn’t just about punctuality, it’s about respect, setting the standard, and being the best version of yourself. Expect a few laughs, a few burpees, and plenty of lessons for parents, coaches, and anyone who wants a calmer, more organised life.

💡 If you’re on time, you’re late — but if you’re early, you’re ready.
