“The new football coaching guide allows us to keep our coaches up to date with current best-practice in the sport. Upskilling and improving your sporting knowledge are essential parts of developing as a coach and this guide offers football coaches the opportunity to do so. Fundamentally, we want to create the best sporting environment for our athletes and well-trained and educated coaches lead that. In current times, when in-person coach education isn’t possible, resources like this coaching guide allow us to reach as many coaches as we possibly can.”
The guide is available in an interactive online format here.
