#61 What Makes a Great Youth Football Coach? (It's Not Football Knowledge)
About this episode
This episode discusses the key behaviors that make a great youth football coach beyond just football knowledge.
What actually makes a great coach? It's not football knowledge. In this episode I explain why, and the six things that genuinely separate the coaches who develop children from the ones who don't. It's not about badges or how much a coach knows. It's how they behave, how they communicate, and the environment they create. I walk through six behaviours that make the real difference, with practical advice for both parents and coaches, and the research that backs it up. Want your child to train with us?
