Foundation Phase Player Development, a conversation with Pete Sturgess, FA National Lead Coach (5-11)
In this episode we talk with Peter Sturgess about all things coaching with a focus on the Foundation Phase
Pete talks to us about his own coaching journey and the time he spent in academy football and his role at the FA. We discuss what the foundation phase is and why it’s so important to long-term player development, the different formats of the game and why they are so influential to skill acquisition, multi-sport, how you can frame `winning`, and how to embrace and celebrate when our young players `choose` football! Like all our guests Pete also shares the one thing he would change in the world of coaching.
