S4 Ep15: First steps into coaching with Suey Smith
Transcript on England Football Community - (https://bit.ly/48iTYkb)
While gaining experience is key to advancing as a coach, experience in football isn’t essential to getting started.
In this episode, we’re joined by Suey Smith, who since recording is now an FA youth coach developer in the professional game. We discover how Suey got into football and coaching when opportunities for females in football were limited. Coaching was how Suey could stay connected with football and start a football career.
Suey draws on her coaching experience to advise on how women can get into coaching. She shares the stories of her first playing and coaching experiences and the advice that she would give herself when she first started.
We go over the skills that you make use of every day, that you can draw from and apply to coaching. And for those who are thinking about stepping over the sidelines, Suey lays out how people can find the right club for them, learn the ropes and get involved.
