In the final episode of series 1 I spend an hour chatting to my UEFA A Licence tutor and good friend Geoff Noonan. Geoff has had a long and varied career in the game taking up nearly every possible role in a Cat 1 academy and most recently as an FA Youth Coach Developer in the professional game. Geoff discusses how to construct a coaching syllabus and how important a varied games programme is in the development of young players. We also reflect on modern trends in the game and how they have evolved from previous tried and tested formations or playing styles. I hope you enjoy the conversation.
