Coaching Newsletter – September


Dear Coaches,

 

I hope you are well.

 

My name is Adil Siddiqui and I have recently been appointed the International Director of Coaching. (IDOC) Following up the excellent work of Brian Penswick. Scroll down below to see an exclusive interview with Brian about his time as the first International Director of Coaching. 

 

Welcome to the first coaching newsletter from myself and the team! Hopefully there will be many more to come during my time as the International Director of Coaching.

 

I wanted to first thank you all for your great work. As Little Kickers expands your excellent sessions are so important. As without your excellent sessions our parents and children's would not keep coming back to our classes! So keep up the great work! 

 

In light of Little Kickers constantly expanding I wanted to let you all know that there are numerous opportunities. Little Kickers is so much more then a Saturday job!

Some words from our first IDOC - Brian Penswick

1. Could you tell us a little about yourself and your background in Coaching?

 

"I have been coaching football for approximately 18 years, ranging from Little Kickers to grassroots football to a professional clubs centre of excellence to managing a local adult team. At the present time I only coach at Little Kickers but do miss the banter of adult football. I have been running a Little Kickers franchise now for about 6 years."

 

2. How did you come across the IDOC role?

 

"I came across the IDOC role after a e mail was sent out about the role, I expressed an interest in the rold and was very fortunate to be selected as Little Kickers first IDOC. I would recommend the role to everybody get sharing ideas and involved in the forums."

 

3. What were the best and worst parts of the role?

 

Hard to say what the best bit was from being chosen in the first place to all the great people who I met from around the world and helped contribute to my role. The worst bit was definitely the job coming to an end.

 

4. What can Little Kickers improve on?

 

"In my opinion we could all contribute a little bit more on the sharing of games or little tweaks we make to games, there are so many great coaches out there putting on sessions every weekend that are exciting and invigorating for the children, if every franchise or even every coach shared their favourite session what a collection of games we would have for everybody to use."

 

5. Any parting advice for the new IDOC?

 

"Enjoy it! Its definitely a time you will look back at and think wow I enjoyed that."
