DNA Insights Podcast Episode 2

Hi coaches, hopefully you are engaging with this forum having listened to and enjoyed episode 1 of our DNA Insights podcasts.  With the release today of the second episode I want to pose a couple of questions to get the discussion going. Here goes:

  • The FA is really going after the development of more skilful players. The podcast supports this approach so what else would coaches need to get them on board with this very important initiative?
  • What might the biggest barriers be to this initiative becoming successful and having a major influence on how we develop our youngest players?

This last part is not a question but a request for coaches to share their stories and their own experiences if they have decided to adopt this methodology. This could be a very powerful thing and will help other coaches understand that they are not alone and that this approach is such a positive and enjoyable way to work with young people.

I look forward to reading your responses and hope that you enjoy episode 2.

Take care

  • Again enjoyed the clear messaging - made me reflect on how I’ve coached in the FP and how/what I wold change. I wonder if events like the DNA futsal event at SGP (2019) could be streamed on YouTube for a wider audience and reaching more coaches... I remember watching a young lad from Wigan and his connection with the ball just in ‘warm-up’ play - it was memorable to watch.

  • James, good point and one for FA Education/Learning to consider. If we want to influence widely then we have to enter the real world of digital learning and, for me, this should be embraced because I firmly believe our key messages are great for the development of all our young children. We should be looking to share this with a much wider audience than the niche market we have on here and the Boot Room. Food for thought. Thanks for your post and its good to hear you are a Futsal fanThumbsup  Pete
