What coaches think about this course
Andy Williams, Head Coach English Schools FA Under 18 International Team:
"I found the whole programme well set out and very informative. It was useful for me at this stage to undertake some kind of 'refresher' as well as updating my nutritional knowledge. This was the perfect tool.I thought the sound bite video clips / powerpoints used to summarise each chapter were helpful in the sense that they focus on the main points without all of the research / evidence that back up each point. Having access to the reading material and not having to source it all myself through the web (which as is pointed out is full of misleading and inaccurate information) again was a major plus of the programme.
I did enjoy the scenarios, because ultimatley that is our work as a football coach and negotiating these moments is a test of our our knowledge and skills, and is often a weakness and therefore left untouched."
Sigi Ragnar Eyjólfsson,Technical Director Icelandic Football Association and Head Coach Icelandic Womens International Team
" Course looks good.I checked many of the videos and the information given. It is precise and simple, effective....And good information of course! "
Darren Spurrier, UEFA B Coach, New Jersey, USA and owner of Darren Spurrier Soccer Training Website
"I have just completed the course and cannot wait to start my own blog on Soccer diet and how by eating a solid diet it can help improve performance. As a youth coach I feel it is necessary to help educate my players on this topic.
All aspects of the course were of tremendous value to me, I love the idea of the reflective learning aspect with the player journals and really getting them to think seriously about their diet"
Gary Burke, Maryland ODP U13 boys Head Coach 2012
“The course was very factual and informative- very beneficial "
