Coaches - what strategies do you use to build effective relationships with your players?

On Thursday 11th May, England Football Learning will be hosting a webinar to discuss this topic more broadly. We'd love to share ideas and tips on building effective relationships from coaches across the Country.

  • Morning Rebecca,

    as im in the foundaton phase now (u8's) the first thing i built was trust with the players and parents.

    letting them know about me then i spend my time with them listening into their conversations, that gives me a great base to engage individually." have you seen the new mandalorian series?" or "did you see the Liverpool game last night?"

    listening to peer on peer conversations is vital for showing your interest in them.

    I also take alot of time out to speak to the parents about their day, players and parents this gives a great  gague into how their session may go.

    lastly making it FUN so they want to come back.

    there is no better feeling than hearing a youngster shouting hello, when your doing your shopping in the local  supermarket
