Our head of player & coach development, Adam Clark, is delighted to share some news on his new role outside of Park to Pro. From October, Adam will be mentoring 10 coaches from Finland, Sweden and Estonia for Football Coach Evolution.

There will be a number of topics covered throughout the programme, involving football tactics, football fitness and coaching youth football, to name a few.
The mentoring will involve high levels of communication and clear explanations, as for some, English won’t be their native mother tongue.

Adam has studied on this pathway since 2016 and is now looking forward to further challenging himself, with this new role. The cohort of coaches will meet once per month, where Adam and his colleague Akusti Salonen, will answer the most frequently asked questions.

He said; “This opportunity was granted through FCE (Football Coach Evolution) and it’s owner, Raymond Verheijen, due to the participation in another course I’m taking part in. As a delegate on the highest level of education he offers, there was an opportunity to mentor coaches elsewhere on the pathway, which I couldn’t refuse. I’m really looking forward to stepping out of the comfort zone once again and furthering my knowledge”.

There will be updates throughout the course from Adam, on how he is finding the experience in mentoring other coaches from overseas.
