In November, 8 coaches started the Park to Pro football coach mentorship programme, which has been an ongoing success.
Throughout the course there has been 1 topic per month delivered to delegates, with a live interactive session after this, to discuss things further.

Park to Pro owner, Adam Clark, said; “The delegates have been excellent throughout and have improved during the process. During the bleakest months of lockdown, we continued to meet virtually and discuss all things football. It was great to keep these discussions going and to keep improving, for the anticipation of football returning.”

The delegates have studied the theory side of football, as well as taking part in some analysis exercises. By changing the topic each month, the aim is to keep interest levels high and further learning across many areas of the game.

So far there have been 2 guest appearances for the coaches to learn from and to ask questions too. We’ve had a former English FA Coach Educator in attendance, as well as a coach/analyst from the Portuguese Primeira Liga (Portugal’s top flight league). Up next we have a coach joining us who currently works with a neighbouring national team.

The course is now at it’s mid-point with further updates released soon!
