Modern Soccer Coach Podcast

Tactical expert and UEFA 'A' Licensed coach, Stevie Grieve gives his views on match analysis and how we should be watching the game. He also discusses his new online e-learning course and how he believes coach education should be aligned with the modern game.

Mark Wilson grew up in the Manchester United youth academy and was part of the first team squad from 1997 to 2001. During that time he experienced the environment and culture that dominated the Premier League, the leadership of Roy Keane, and work ethic of David Beckham. Mark shares his views on how that culture was created and what pieces of it we can take into our own environments today.

We are kicking off the new National Women's Soccer League season with a weekly review show hosted on the Modern Soccer Coach podcast. Clifton Bush will take us inside the game to talk with coaches, players, and provide a tactical insight to the game throughout the season. We want you to get involved and will have plenty of material for coaches in the coming weeks!

Gary catches up with former Tottenham Hotspurs and Crystal Palace defender, Dean Austin, who has brought the same approach towards his coaching that he did as a player. Dean talks about how environments have changed with foreign players and coaches, how social media should be managed at youth academies, what he learned from top players, and much more!

Gary talks with his youth teammate, and former Hibs and Bristol City player Ivan Sproule, about making it as a professional at 23 and what he learned from every coach he played for.

Gary explains why thinking that Pep has it easy with access to the world's best players and funding can have can have harmful effects to the coaching community.

Gary talks with a coach who has worked alongside Olympians, Paralympians, World Champion Athletes and Grand Slam Winners to shape their mindset and help them reach success. Allistair talks about the role of parents in a young player's success, how coaches don't spend enough time on connecting with their players, and explains exactly why he ran 12 marathons in 12 weeks.

Gary sits down with US national team and LA Galaxy legend Gyasi Zardes. Now at Columbus Crew, Gyasi talks about the differences between college and pro, learning from Premier League pros, the impact Jurgen Klinsmann had on him, and the experience of playing against Messi and Neymar.

Gary talks with Culture specialist Donna Fishter on how a coach can shape an environment that players can embrace and grow as players, people, and leaders. What should coaches be doing? What should we stop doing? And how do we implement it right away in our coaching? 'Big D' explains all....

Sports Psychology and Performance Coach, Stu Singer, talks to Gary about all how coaches can improve their knowledge and delivery of the mental aspect of the game. And are our natural reluctance to psychology and stepping outside outside comfort zones preventing our players from doing the same?
