Episode notes

Today I am re-releasing one of my most popular recordings to date with Raymond Verheijen the owner of Football Coach Evolution.

“The aim of Football Coach Evolution is not to change the world but to develop coaches based on more objective & reliable information”.

Having served as an assistant in four World Cups & Euros alongside being mentored by the likes of Louis Van Gaal & Guus Hiddink there are few better equipped to guide the next generation. Utilizing evolutionary knowledge to explain tactical principles & methodology, Raymond has created a universal football language to better equip coaches for the challenges ahead. Yet knowledge is only the starting point and we gain insight as to the challenges faced when we begin to apply this objective knowledge in our respective environments.

Listen to find out more including;

- Raymond's coaching origin story.

- How Raymond turned his biggest disappointment into his biggest opportunity?

- Why has there been a “pollution of football language & methodology?”

- Top down control v Top down guidance.

- Guus Hiddink's mastery in change management.

- How to ensure your tactical principles are built on solid foundations?

- Can we change the conversation at boardroom level?
