These tools are not just about improving football skills; they focus on holistic development, encouraging young players to understand and manage their emotions, build strong relationships and develop resilience.
The workbooks promote insightful self-reflection, educational exercises and motivational activities, making them an invaluable addition to any grassroots club’s resources.
Coaches and ESPECIALLY parents/carers will find these tools crucial in supporting meaningful conversations and enhancing the overall well-being of their young footballers.
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.
