A Coaches View

Chelsea FC Australia U17 Future First vs Dandenong City SC was a highly entertaining game this morning.

Credit to both clubs showing how female football is progressing in a three goal end to end thriller!

As always, lots of takeaways and things to learn.

Chelsea FC Australia moving on the right direction. We keep moving forward. 💙⚽️

What are your thoughts?

When an opportunity presents, there’s a small window to take action otherwise it may drift away.

Delighted to be offered the chance to join The City Group Football Education Department at Melbourne City Football Club.

First step, casual coaching in the impressive Football Schools programme.

This lad from the little old Island of Jersey can’t wait to get started, lots of takeaways and learning already in flight.

Looking forward to levelling up my skills and knowledge with some great people.

“Parents need to look at what these coaches do, how much effort they put into helping other peoples children. Without them we would not have a game, so don’t be quick to judge them.

As a parent, once you are confident that your child is in a safe learning environment, one of the most important things you can do as a parent of a young player is to let them go and let their sports experience belong to them”.

- John O’Sullivan from Changing The Game Project

Pleasure to meet the majority of our Chelsea FC Australia Future First U15s and U17s squads this evening.

Discussion around the “Chelsea Way” - the way we play, our standards and expectations of each other as a group working together, playing positions specific roles and responsibilities as well as life skills lived through our “golden rules”

Looking forward to getting to know the group working together with coaches to deliver. A “jewel in the crown” program for the club and community.

A great evening with Paige Harbord and Daniel Beckman from Lifestrong Physiotherapy & Health Services at Chelsea FC Australia.

Presentation and discussion on “Concussion Awareness” to our coaches and parents in attendance, recognising symptoms, their impact on recovery, and understand the “return to play safely” guidelines - vital information for all.

Myth busting at its finest, medical treatment and science has moved on.

Thanks to all those in attendance and to both Paige and Daniel for the time.

Chelsea FC Australia “Future Firsts” Coaches Meeting this evening. The first of many collaboration meetings to build a program with a player and coach pathway to aspire, dream and achieve.

“Be your child’s biggest supporter, not their second coach”

Got a feeling there might be a new nation this time around…

Only 8 nations have ever won the World Cup..
