This role was the coach of the 3rd Team of the university football team. There were players apart of this team who regularly play semi professional football and players who were there for social aspects involved with the club. The sessions were 1 hour and a half long and they required me to plan effectively for these sessions and build a plan that looked towards fighting for promotion in this league. Although we wanted promotion we wanted to do it in the correct manner by playing along the floor and pressing high and cohesively. We managed to finish 1 point off the top of the league 2nd to our own 2nd team at the university. Other responsibilities also include... - Running Social Media platform for 1 year and 6 months - Lead and taking part in regular meetings - Analysing Videos of the team and acting on areas where we can improve Show less
