In this episode we discuss the hurdles that can come in to play when coaching at the foundation and youth development phases. We highlight the four that we believe have the greatest consequences and look at the symptoms of each and how these can playout in practice.

The hope is that by shining a light on these four hurdles it might help us recognise our own challenges and/or help us better identify and support others.

Please let us know what you think about our choices or if you feel there are others that should also be included?

Thanks for listening and we hope you enjoy the episode!
