Join us on an exciting journey into the world of football coaching as we bring you insights, tips, and a whole lot of passion for the beautiful game. I'm Yas, and I'm here with my good friend and mentor, Pete Augustine – two UEFA A Licence Coaches and Coach Developers ready to dive deep into the heart of coaching.

Our podcast is born out of the rich experience of completing an MSc in Performance Football Coaching at St Mary's University, and we're thrilled to partner with St Mary's University Twickenham to bring you this dynamic show.

What can you expect from Coaching Conversations? Well, it's all in the name! Every week, Pete and I will be your coaching companions, sharing stories, lessons, and insider knowledge from our journeys in the coaching world. We'll tackle the 'how to's,' dissect game analysis, and so much more – all aimed at making you a better coach.

But here's the best part: We want to hear from YOU! This podcast is as much about your questions, curiosities, and coaching challenges as it is about our experiences. So, reach out to us on X and Instagram or drop us an email at info@thecoachesnetwork.co.uk to let us know what you'd like us to discuss on the show.

And that's not all! We're thrilled to announce a vibrant coaching community based in London, where we'll be hosting a range of face-to-face FA Accredited CPD opportunities. It's your chance to connect, learn, and grow as a coach. Hit the link below to sign up for free and uncover all the exciting details.

There's been a lot of exciting work on going behind the scenes, and as we approach 250 episode of The Coaches Network Podcast, and we've been growing week after week in our listenership, we thought I'd be a great time highlight some of the great guests we've had over the past 2 years. So over the next few weeks we'll be releasing re-run's of some our top episodes, alongside continuing to bring some great new content and episodes.

This weeks episode is one from the archives, a discussion with Trevor Ragan. Trevor is the founder of 'Train Ugly' & 'The Learner Lab'. Trevor joins CoachYas to discuss his journey, as well as discussing how and what it looks like to train in the ugly zone. This is a great one for those who ponder the thoughts around Unopposed vs Opposed Practice. Enjoy!
