COACH Applications
Qualities WE look for:
As an academy we place importance on ensuring our players have a positive mindset and are always striving to improve. We are looking for a coach who can get our players to unlock their potential and constantly motivate them to be the best version of themselves, both on the pitch and off of it.
​
A coach must be:
-
A good role model for the players
-
Punctual and organised - be prepared for training sessions and stay on top of the coaching plans
-
Friendly - you must be the players "go to" if they have any questions or concerns.
-
A good listener - as a coach you need to be able to adapt to any situation and understand your players. Being a good listener is key to being a great leader.
-
A good teacher - as a coach your main role is to teach the children. You must be patient, understanding, and encouraging.
-
Efficient - you need to know the best ways of getting through to the players and creating the change you want to see.
-
Innovative - as an increasingly competitive sport, the level of quality in the football world is extremely high. As a coach we need you to be thinking on your toes and finding new ways of developing not only technical skill but football vision within the players.
-
Reliable - as an academy we will NOT tolerate coaches that are unreliable. One of the most important qualities you can show is reliability and dedication to the academy.
-
Focussed on the final goal - we want a coach who has vision for the team and is always working to meet goals set.
-
Motivational - no one can motivate you like your coach. Being there for the players and constantly being their support will create a foundation that will allow the players to reach their potential.
