I never planned on making a podcast. But the more time Ive spent on the sidelines — watching, encouraging, coaching, tying countless muddy laces, the more I realised these small moments carry big lessons.
Grassroots football strips everything back. Amongst the talks of tactics, it’s about people, effort, creating community, and the little wins kids don’t even know they’re giving you. Somewhere between cold mornings and lost bits of kit, the sidelines start teaching you about yourself too.
So this is me, sharing my journey as a manager/coach/parent with you.
