Ag 16 I was told if there was 100 people in a room, 99 would be better.
A few years on, I own a business that gets to work with some of the biggest names in sport, supported by Virgin SU and every day I live the dream.
If there’s a will, there’s a way!

From people don’t say: Spurs & Liverpool FC are charging schools £20,000+ a year for “partnerships” where they send in often below par and novice coaches.
Where most schools don’t catch on is that, these are run from the commercial arm of the club and not the coaching side.
💸 £120 per hour for one-to-one coaching at Chelsea
💸 £2,035 a week for Arsenal camps
💸 Private school partners with Chelsea for “six-figure sum”

Nonsense, my 3 boys have had equal game time in all their teams up to now. It’s not hard to work out how long each player is on the pitch for.

Why does 1 kid deserve more playing time over another? The players and the parents time/money is worth the same as any others
Jack Rolfe retweeted
Failing to do that pushes kids out of the sport. I honestly believe if you give equal time early more teams would stay together and you would NOT have the exodus around the 11v11 transition that seems to happen everywhere.

They’re kids, and their effort is often shaped by the support they get from their parents. At this age, it’s about developing a love for the game, not punishing them for something which probably isn’t even their fault.
Equal game time at grassroots should be non-negotiable. The kid on the bench needs the minutes more than the star does.
Give every coach at your club the same deck and you give them a shared language. Same games, same standards, every age group.
