I have had a good look at them both and I love them. Tools like this allow somebody like me to really get to work with a player. I have a resource library, but things like this are not football specific and more life coaching resources that I have to adapt.

I think these are incredibly useful without crossing that fine line between football coach and psychologist, which IS A POSITION we often find ourselves in.
