Gary is joined by Laurie Bell, a professional player whose career has taken him to England, USA, and Sweden. He also works at Heja and discusses the changing role of communication in the game including the following: - What makes a coach a great communicator? - Are we reluctant to praise players today? - How did coaches challenge him at Manchester City? - Does the role of coach change in USA and Europe? - How is technology changing how we communicate? - Does tomorrow's coach need to be proficient with technology? And much more!! This podcast is sponsored by our good friends at Heja. On Heja, you can see exactly who reads the information you send out and, unlike whatsapp or text messages, you can organise training times and details using a separate team calendar within the app that’s easy for everyone to view, meaning those all important dates and times do not get lost in a buzzing group chat. Heja is actually free-to-use for your whole team, nobody has to pay anything, and so I would recommend you download it now and giving it a go to save yourself some time and get your team better organised and all together this season.
