Hi All,
This past week I've completed my Playmaker, Safeguarding and First Aid courses...I'm now enrolled onto the 'Introduction to Coaching' course and am just waiting for the modules to unlock so that I can begin.
I am completely new to the world of coaching, but it's been something that I've wanted to do for a long time - but have put off the studying due to other commitments...but now is my time to knuckle down, study and start.
The courses I've taken so far are generally aimed at coaches for child/youth football, but I just wondered whether this is a necessary starting point or whether I can do these courses and then volunteer straight away at a local adults club?
My long-term plan is to work my way up through the courses on the FA Learning site, coach a team for a period of time and then inevitably become a football manager at a club.
I'm certainly not against working with a youth team if this is the first step into what I want to achieve, but I just wanted to ask if it's absolutely necessary (as ideally I want to work with an adult team).
