At the time of writing, I am supposed to be preparing for a trip to Barcelona to study a Youth Soccer Expert course at the MBP School. Unfortunately, the global crisis has put a stop to that. It is my intention to travel to many of the world's footballing hotbeds, study their methods and culture, with the aim of trying to improve my knowledge of player development, and creating environments that are conducive to helping young footballers grow. With no form of employment for the foreseeable future, and beginning a PGCE in September to study to become a PE teacher, raising money by myself will be rather difficult.
I am fortunate to have been coaching for twelve years, and that has taken me to many states in the US, Canada, Mexico, Kuwait, and Singapore, interspersed with roles back home in England. Each opportunity has brought with it so much in terms of knowledge, insight, and perspective. I don't believe any one location has cracked the code, but some are clearly more effective than others, and as coaches we must always be looking for ways to improve ourselves and our clubs, for the benefit of our players. I have taken many great lessons from all my experiences.
This campaign is to raise money which will cover essentials like flights, accomodation, and food. I'm hoping to be able to go for about four weeks in the school summer holidays of 2021.
While I will be trying to contribute to this fund myself via part-time coaching work, and any other ways I can be of use, I will be posing this link to friends and family for occasions like birthdays and Christmas. In addition to that, I will keep creating content for my blog that may be of use to coaches out there. I have always done this for free, because I want as many people to benefit from it as possible, and I will continue to do so. Anyone who feels like they want to show some gratitude for the articles or PDFs I create, please feel free to donate.
Throughout the trip, I will be documenting all that will be of use to coaches. This may include photos, session plans, conversations, ideas, observations, so that any readers out there may also benefit from my experiences. I will be as open and as candid as always, because I believe coaching is a journey we can all share and contribute to. I love to read about the experiences of others, and engage with coaches from all over the world. My career thus far has allowed me with memorable experiences, and has brought me to meet so many wonderful and interesting people from all over the world.
Buenos Aires and Rosario in Argentina, as well as Montevideo in Uruguay, have consistently produced some of the world's best players, the world's best national teams, and have some of the world's most iconic clubs and stadiums. I want to see what they're doing right, and what, if anything, can we take from that to implement in our own environments.
If this trip doesn't happen, all donations will be refunded.
