It’s been a long while, since I’ve written a blog for the website, so I thought it would be good to update everyone on the last few months.

Just after my last post in August, I was appointed first team manager of Alresford Town, who ply their trade in the Wessex Premier League (Step 5 of the non-league pyramid). During my short tenure, time was minimal, so I had to prioritise other things.

While I was only in the position for 3 months before resigning, I took a huge amount of learnings that I previously hadn’t experienced. These range from match day management, to new external factors that caused me challenges.

In the new year, I’ll be kicking off my blog posts again, with a number of the key areas that I felt were big learning experiences. I hadn’t previously had this type of exposure with these situations, so it will only make me better in the long run.

Hopefully, by reading these entries you won’t make some of the mistakes that I did and you may be a little bit more prepared, for what could come your way in football management.

The first post will be about taking over a job in season, opposed to one, in pre-season.
