England Football Personal Development Compass Workbooks

Emma Clarke

We’re excited to announce the release of the England Football Learning and Development Compass Workbooks, an invaluable resource designed to support the growth and success of those within the football workforce. Whether you’re new to the game or looking to fine-tune your existing skills, these workbooks offer a flexible and practical approach to personal development, helping you unlock your potential.

Each workbook focuses on one of eight key behaviours that are crucial for thriving in football roles:

  1. Building Personal Capability
  2. Motivation to Achieve
  3. Powerful Communication
  4. Planning, Organising, and Delivering
  5. Resilience and Adaptability
  6. Creating Solutions
  7. Collaborative Teamwork
  8. Providing Leadership

These behaviours have been identified as essential to individuals who achieve success within the football industry, and these workbooks provide a structured pathway to help you develop in each of these areas.

How to Get Started:

  • Explore the Workbooks: Begin with the Explainer Document, which provides guidance on how to use the workbooks effectively and key insights to watch out for.
  • Reflect and Discuss: Join the conversation! For each workbook, these is an accompanying discussion thread where you can share your thoughts, experiences, and progress. Whether you’re reflecting on personal growth or gaining inspiration from others, these forums are a great place to learn and connect.

Available Workbooks & Discussions:

The Compass Workbooks are more than just a resource—they’re a journey toward self-improvement and professional excellence. Get involved, and start building the skills you need to thrive in the football world today!
