7 things about football I had to live before I believed them. 👇

Some came from experience on the pitch.

Some from the hard moments, injuries, setbacks, the game ending before I was ready.

One came from my dad.

You can be told all of this.
Believing it is another thing entirely.

All of it I now pass on to every player I coach.

Two knee ops. A family to support. And a moment where football stopped being my choice.

But what the game taught me? That never left.

Your child wants to hear one thing after every game.

You're probably not saying it. 👇

If I asked them, "what do you wish your parents said?"

I think I know what most of them would say.

Not the result.
Not the performance.

Just I'm proud of you.

Say it after the next game.
Whether they scored or didn't.
Whether they played well or didn't.

Say it anyway.

Comment CAR below and I'll send you a free guide on exactly what to say after every game. 👇

⚽️⚽️ Phoebe finished off a great afternoon of sessions today ⚽️⚽️

Beginning with keepy uppys, Phoebe was able to hit the target she had set before choosing to work on ball mastery inside the small square 😃

Focus then turned to dribbling before changing direction and making a pass. Phoebe was able to use both feet comfortably throughout the session and even when we added shooting, you would never of guessed which foot was her strongest 🤗

When shooting was added, Phoebe understood how important the first touch would be to help her achieve a shot on goal. As she took her first touch she also use big strides to allow her to get up her speed before striking and scoring a number of great goals 🙂

Well done Phoebe 👏👏

⚽️⚽️ Jake was back for more goalkeeper fun today and did excellent ⚽️⚽️

Starting with a fun game of goalkeeper tennis, Jake was able to push the ball back over the net using strong hands 🙂

After a quick handling recap, Jake worked hard at movement as he protected his square from all angles, moving as a crab using his hands to lead with each time 🤗

We then focused on diving where Jake was really brave as he was able to make a number of great diving saves, learning to lead with the hand on the side he is going to dive and not allow it being stuck under him 😃

Ending with a mix of dives and catches, Jake did superb at securing the ball as soon as he could each time 🙂

Well done Jake 👏👏

⚽️⚽️ New Player Alert ⚽️⚽️

After coming to a few of the community football sessions, Monty decided he wanted one to one sessions so today was his first session and he did superb 😃

Keepy uppys first where Monty was encouraged to add more power as he kicked the ball, making sure it went in the air 🙂

Next up was dribbling through the gates where Monty soon realised that using both feet helped him move around the area quicker while still keeping control of the ball 🤗

Passing was next and Monty learnt to pass when he was ready and not rush aswell as look before he makes a pass 😃

Well done Monty 👏👏

⚽️⚽️ Samuel enjoyed another goalkeeping session today and did superb ⚽️⚽️

We worked on abit of diving to begin with where Samuel was encouraged to lead with the arm that was the side the ball was gong to instead of twisting his body 😃

We then added the scoop technique and he did brilliant at understanding to twist his body as the ball came and use his legs to protect the goal incase his hands didnt get to it in time 🤗

Finishing with a mix of shots saw Samuel use all differnt handling techniques aswell as practice kicking out of his hands 😃

Well done Samuel 👏👏
