Has anyone done their coaching badges?

Doing my level 1 next month.

After that I might do 2, 3 and 4 and suceed Alex Ferguson as the next manager of Manchester United.

Good luck Carlo, remember to shout 'bring your fackin' dinner' at them a lot

Good luck. Was considering it but going to wait till I am fully fit again.

Very handy thing to have.

You won't pass until you buy a sheepskin coat pal.

did the basic level 1 about 7 years ago - but didnt want to go any further as my tactic of " intimidate the oppositions best player until he cries" was not in the manual

If I had a kid I'd do it, as it stands I can't abide the little @#%&!s so £#%&! knows why I'd want to spend time with them on my own accord.

I could be in the pub shouting at the telly instead.

ABA level 1 in couple months

I have however decided to not follow the path of most and become the lowest rank trainer of 5 in the club and i'm going to be involved in local youthclubs and youth work doing sessions to get the young guns involved and hopefully enourage the better ones to drop the gats and get down to their local clubs.

The ones that are not good enough can keep shanking each other and we will end up with less bad kids in the long run anyway

I did my level 1 at the end of last year, You can't fail it so don't worry about that.

It's a good thing to have if your coaching young children, as it gives you plenty of idea's for sessions and is based around been fun whilst teaching them the basic skills.

Level 2 is supposed to be alot harder, with plenty of people failing. I'm hoping to do my level 2 towards the end of this year, I'm just put off by the £215 it costs when i might not pass

Good luck with the level 1 though

Still not got round to doing mine, been told I need to do it before September though, where you doing yours Carlo? I might join you.

Its a 32 hour course, thats what put me off, induction on the Monday 6pm-9pm then 2 full weekends 9-5pm.

Should do it really as I'm not paying for any of them

I did that course. Let me know if it's a scouser called John that takes your course. Among other outlandish boasts he claimed to have introduced karate to Britain.

i've done level 1 at lancs fa in leyland. it's a piece of piss, carlo. i don't think you need to go any higher if you're just planning on coaching at local kids football.

Have you got a link for that, thats much better than the Manchester and Cheshire FA ones, I might come and join you
PM me if you've got the link

Don't do it, you wouldn't get clough doing them..........they just want robots based on Howard Wilkinson, just say you've got it no one will check. It's like putting a degree on your cv.

slightly off topic, but I love stories where people make such outlandish claims


I used to work with a woman who told absolute massive lies, including ;

her husband had been comissioned to rebuild the acropolis

she had 2 weeks off work to go on safari to Kenya - she returned with no suntan, and the photos were definately of Knowsley safari park
