why dont you get a proper job and stop coaching football with Matt Scholes
Whats it like from the coaches perspective in academy football?
having spent over a decade in football coaching from grassroots to 1st team.
Matt shares his experiences from building an academy with Torquay FC through to post 16s coach and tutor with Plymouth Argyle FC at the time of recording.
Full time coaching is all consuming and there is a struggle for a work life balance and matt expresses how relentless the journey can be as a nomadic coach.
Having spent time in every stage of football development Matt shares his thoughts on coaching, sessions, styles, success and how success can change based on your environment.
The gem here is that coaching is a cake but how you decorate your cake is decided by the coach!
