Some views from Coaches who have recently completed the LMA School of Football Management Online Courses

 

Identifying Potential Talent Course

 

Willie McNab,Head of Children’s Programme,Glasgow Celtic FC, Scotland:

“I really enjoyed this and it made me think about what I currently do in terms of Identifying potential talent and how to reflect on this too.Great course!

Andrew Hughes: First team coach at Sheffield Wednesday Football Club and previously Under 23 Coach at Sheffield United FC: 

“ This whole course has been a huge eye opener for me about the detail what goes into a player before he even gets to scholar age. This course has been top top class really has.”

Gabriele Cioffi, Assistant Manager, Udinese, Serie A, Italy:

“  The whole course inspired me giving me a different angle on the Talent ID “

Luke Smith, Lead Phase Coach 11/12 year olds , West Ham United Academy:

“ I valued being more aware of all the different areas that can impact on Talent ID - siblings, place of birth, travel time, data, relationships with scouts, relationships with family, RAE, player profiles. Being educated on these subjects can help me to make more informed decisions and be more aware of factors that can influence/impact on someone's journey”

Michael Burns Newcastle United FC Academy Coach & Scout :

“ I have found it of great value in developing my approach/view on Talent ID  and have certainly enjoyed taking part in all the tasks presented.”

Tsuyoshi Takano Club Support Manager/Head of Coach  Education and Development Offices, the J League ( Japan’s top Professional League ) and former Academy Director of J League Club Giravanz Kitakyushu FC Academy , Japan

 

I truly enjoyed the learning from this course and would like to recommend this course to any football coach.Also, I thought the academy environment and system in Japan are so unique that it may give an opportunity to provoke the learners' thought even more if we can get them exposed to a completely different working environment

 

Giuseppe DePalo,Seattle Sounders FC Academy,Head of Recruitment : "  I would highly recommend the Talent ID course with Sportspath.There is outstanding information coming directly from some top professionals at the highest levels .There is also plenty of guidance along the way and some mentoring. My schedule is quite busy and changes rapidly so the format was very useful in the sense that I could come in and out as time permitted.After over 20 years in the game, I was still able to take some new nuggets with me that are very relevant in both recruitment and coaching.

Vic Bragg, Professional Development Coach , Brighton and Hove Albion FC, English Premier League 

' I have now completed the Identifying Potential Talent Course which I really enjoyed and found informative and also a reminder to me of the importance of trying to do things in the right way with regard to:  Identifying, Signing and Releasing young players.

 

Culture of Excellence Course

Matt Hamshaw :  UEFA Pro Licence Holder, First Team Coach, Rotherham United FC , England 

" I have really enjoyed doing the course, it’s taken my mind off things that are going on at the moment. I really enjoyed the Scenario based work and what I would do if I  was a manager in certain Scenarios.  I enjoyed the winning v how to win debate. Which seems more and more important in the modern game. I also enjoyed the task on researching performance indicators in sports, and I'm sure i will implement some of these into our programme. My understanding for objectives as improved and how  I might be able to incorporate some different things, in my day to day job" 

Adam Barradell : Under 16 Head Coach at Leicester City Football Club

" I would highly recommend enrolling on The LMA School of Football Management Course, the modules, scenarios and learning outcomes have built on my knowledge of ‘Creating a Culture of Excellence, and provided me with valuable CPD." 

Josh Brehaut :Lead Youth Development Phase Coach at Stoke City Football Club, England 

"  I would say that my favourite aspects of the course have been:

1.The use of the 'real life' based scenarios to consider what I would do

2.The video content on the e-learning platform from experts in the field and their shared experiences

3.The content available on the community site through links to world leading individuals "
