Tomorrow, I'll be traveling to Melbourne on Football NSW's Coaching Staff for Football Australia's National Youth Championships. By the end of the tournament, the junior national team is selected. I've been coaching in the Talent Support Program (TSP) that leads up to the tournament, which brought up a number of challenges I've witnessed related to Talent Development: - Scouting talent for TSP (selection biases) - Catchment areas (NSW's vast geographic area, and the time constraints) - Technical/tactical principles that most players don't have is alarming - How alternate approaches by coaches can affect the player (TSP coach, club, private academy, parents, peers, etc.). Wishing all the players from every state the very best ⚽

Our training opportunities and degrees are informed by the challenges facing sports leaders across Australia and are designed to equip learners with the practical skills, in-depth knowledge, and insights they need to excel in their roles. #sportsmanagement #sportsgovernance #sportsparticipation #csbs

Flash back to 17 years ago when I won Yorkshire Sport Foundation Young Coach of the Year award. What advice would I give to my younger self and to all coaches - Education is essential! Educate yourself and develop your skills. At the age of 26 I went back into education and undertook my degree in Sports Coaching which completely transformed my approach. Now 17 years on and Programme Director of Sports Development and Coaching at University of Stirling I have the privilege of developing the next generation of sporting professionals. #education #educationalleadership #educate #development #sport #sports #professionaldevelopment #professionalcoaching #sportsdevelopment #sportseducation #highereducation #universities #learninganddevelopment #learning #lifelonglearning
