Hi Joseph, thanks for your post. It is great to hear the steps you have taken to develop yourself in coaching. In terms of resources, we post regular blogs on the community in the blog section, we also have loads of resources on the bootroom (click here) and some great podcasts you can listen to. I would also advise getting in touch with your county FA about possible coaching opportunities and support. Is there s specific area / topic you would like to look at?  I hope this helps. 

Thank you, this is all very helpful and much appreciated.

Joseph,

Nothing actually beats watching a coaching session, no matter how good or bad it is. If you are super keen try contacting some local clubs or even the coaches in your club and ask if you can pop along and watch some of their sessions.

Check your local County FA for CPD courses as these will be run by advanced coaches and are a great source of inspiration as you begin your journey.

The Coaching Manual has some great resources too.

Be open to everything as you never know where you will get your next piece of the coaching puzzle from.

Don't just focus on football coaches either, find out about other great coaches like Patrick Mouratoglou (tennis) and Phil Jackson (Basketball). Some of their ideas around player motivation are incredible.
