Having recently been told that I could no longer get up every morning and do what I love doing (and what some say I’m ok at 🤷🏻♂️), I have refused to let others dictate my destiny!
With this in mind, please look out for the launch of e-CAN’s Pass n Support programme tomorrow ⚽️👍
Today, my good friend and mentor
@quincey_nigel
delivered his final
@FA
course, after over 20 years of inspiring & educating thousands of coaches across the SW.
Thanks to
@GlosFA
‘s 2020/21 UEFA B cohort for making it a brilliant end to Nige’s fabulous Coach Ed career ⚽️🎓🙌
In the 3 x matches that my son has played so far, all teams have selected and rotated fairly, resulting in close contests, and coaches have supported the young players brilliantly. Some fabulous work going on in the grassroots game....bravo to all involved ⚽️👌
I’ve always measured success as a coach by how many young people / players continue to play and love the game into their adulthood and what kind of person they develop into.
Today has been a successful day! ⚽️❤️
#proud
As disappointing as it is, not being able to get out and support the grassroots game this month, I have been working tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure that our brilliant
@PassNSupport1
Coach Developers hit the ground running in 2021!
Some extremely exciting news to come 👀

It includes guest speakers, as well as the opportunity to work with like-minded coaches from across the UK and beyond.
⚽️🎓👍
If you are a UEFA B coach who doesn’t wish / isn’t able to progress onto the A Licence, this programme may interest you:

-Max of 24 coaches per group
