Matchday behaviour

Jamie Griffiths

Matchday can be a bit hectic. There's so much going on - and of course, everyone would like to win. But how do you ensure you still stay calm and composed?

Let us know your top tips to help encourage good matchday behaviour below!

Here's one idea you can try from Vinny Halsall on our latest Coachcast episode.

"Can you try to build up a relationship and positive rapport with the opposition coach? Maybe drop them a message to try to engineer a conversation during the week. And in doing so you’re at least getting to know each other on first name terms. That way you’ve got a chance of being good role models working together to create a positive environment, an inspirational experience for everybody involved in grassroots football."

Parents

  • One thing I picked up recently was to have a really clear plan for matchday with a team (parents, other coaches, volunteers etc) helping you out. If you approach matchday without a plan it can become even more hectic, making it hard to keep calm and composed. This plan can include roles for the day, team arrangements, how you want the team to play, key messages and how you are going to behave. I also think it is important to make sure you do things for yourself outside of football (like exercise, family time etc) so that you can be your best self on the day.
