This month we're saying goodbye to one of our own.
After nearly 7 years, Dan is moving on, and he's going to be missed more than he knows ðŸ˜
Dan is one of those rare coaches who knows the game inside out, the technical detail, the why behind everything, but who can take all of that and deliver it in a way a seven year old just gets.
That's a genuine gift, and it's not one many people have.
The kids he coaches love his sessions and they learn so much.
He's been an incredible asset to this team. Committed, every single week. Brilliant with the children and the kind of coach every football school wishes they had more of.
Now he's off to Manchester to start his career as a teacher, and those pupils are getting someone special...
But if we have our way, we're hoping he'll be setting up a Foot-Tech of his own across the Pennines before too long 🤞
Dan, thank you for your commitment and for everything you gave the kids here.
You'll always be one of us 👊
Dan will be around at his sessions until the end of July so make sure to say your goodbyes before he leaves.
If your child never makes mistakes in training, something's wrong.
It sounds odd, but it's true. A session where every pass is perfect and nothing goes wrong isn't a good session. It means they're not being stretched.
Mistakes are the whole point. They're the sign a child is trying something difficult, something just beyond what they can already do.
That's where the learning actually happens.
Take the mistakes away and you take the growth away with it.
The problem is, too many kids are terrified of getting it wrong
They've been shouted at, corrected, made to feel daft for trying. So they stop taking risks, they play it safe, and they stop improving.
We do the opposite. We want them trying the hard thing, losing the ball, going again. Because a child who isn't afraid to fail is a child who keeps getting better.
So next time your child messes up at training, don't worry about it. It probably means they're being challenged.
And that's exactly what you want.
