Gary is joined by former rugby professional, coach, and coach educator Russell Earnshaw. He has consulted with and delivered for Google, The English FA, Great Britain Hockey, British Triathlon, the Rugby Football League and British Swimming to name a few. He has also delivered to soccer coaches recently both in the UK and in the US at the Mass Youth Soccer Workshop. Rusty discusses a number: - What does a great environment look like? - How can we make learning more enjoyable for young players? - How can we challenge ourselves as coaches to be more creative? - What are some cultural differences in how coaches from UK view coaching to those in US - Should coach intelligence be a higher priority than player intelligence? - How do we challenge and disrupt thinking without being labelled as negative or someone who is continually finding faults? And much, much more!! This podcast is brought to you again by SportsLab360, an outstanding platform designed to empower youth players to increase their Soccer IQ and allow coaches to guide player development outside of training.
