Tournaments are a great way for players to bond and prepare for the season ahead, but they can also present challenges.
In this episode, Emily Senior, an FA regional coach developer, joins us to explore how coaches can make the most out of tournaments.
Pre-season tournaments offer a pressure-free environment for building physical and social skills, and Emily shares practical ideas to help coaches navigate tournament days with more confidence and less stress.
From managing equal game time and supporting nervous players, to using tournaments as a space for development while keeping them fun, Emily offers guidance for both new and experienced coaches.
