The Greater Game aims to improve the health and well-being of 12-to-16-year-olds by encouraging them to take one healthier action per week. In this episode, weâre joined by The FAâs Dom Edwards and grassroots coach Myles Hadley to learn more about the programme and how coaches can implement it in their sessions.
Dom has coached for 15+ years in boys and girls academy football, university football and is a lecturer specialising in coaching. Myles is the assistant coach for the under-13s Blues and programme coordinator for The FA, supporting the development of The Greater Game project.
Our guests give us an overview of the four elements of The Greater Game that encourage players to move well, eat well, sleep well and think well. We learn about what it looks like for players to embrace these healthy activities outside of the pitch and the wide range of benefits it can have for the player both on and off the pitch.
Encouraging young players to take these actions becomes more effective with support from parents, and we get insights into how to communicate the benefits with parents and help them support players from home.
Covered in this episode:
What is The Greater Game programme all about?
What does moving well, eating well, sleeping well and thinking well look like in action?
How The Greater Game can help players both on and off the pitch.
How to encourage players to take healthy actions outside of sessions.
How to work with parents to encourage young players.
Advice on how to implement The Greater Game in your sessions.

Coaching in the adult game and coaching in the youth game have their nuances, but they also share many similarities. In this episode, former FA regional coach development officer, Sarah Lowden, returns to explore this and to share her journey so far.
As a coach, it can be a challenge getting the most out of the hour a week that you have with your players, and Sarah gives her thoughts on how to make the most out of the time you have with them. She explains the difference between coaching your players and not the session, and how to tailor your sessions around what each player needs.
We dive deep into what sets apart the youth game and the open-age game and Sarah offers advice for coaches moving from one to the other. We speak about the vast age difference that can be witnessed in the open-age game and how coaches can manage relationships between players. Sarah gives her insights into how to design sessions that keep adults engaged. And we speak about matchday and what planning should look like for different age groups.
Covered in this episode:
Debunking the myths of the adult game versus the youth game. Tips for coaches moving from the youth game to the adult game. How to make the most out of an hour a week with your players. Managing relationships between players of vastly different ages. Top tips for keeping adults engaged in sessions. Matchday planning in the open-age game versus youth football.âââââ

Not every player has the same needs and Pete shares with us how coaches can meet these differing needs.
Covered in this episode:

Becoming a defender might not be as popular with new players compared to being a striker. But there is a real art to defending. In this episode, Warren Hackett gives his insight on that and how we can help players develop their defending skills.
Warren, now an FA youth coach developer for the South East, takes us through his career as a professional footballer, and we learn about his transition into a coaching career that has led to coaching roles in Canada and India.
We ask Warren how defending has changed over the years. We dive deep into the skills that players need to become effective defenders and Warren offers advice to coaches on how they can develop these skills in players.
Warren gives advice on how coaches can observe games differently, to give them a better understanding of defending. We cover the six themes for the out-of-possession game with an overview of what they are, why theyâre important and how to improve them. We also speak about how The FAâs six core capabilities can be applied to defending. Plus, Warren offers his tips for working on defending with younger players and at grassroots level and he leaves us with his swift session idea.
Covered in this episode:
The journey Warren Hackett took from professional football to coaching. How has defending changed over the years? How coaches can develop the communication skills of defenders. Top tips for working on defending with younger players and at grassroots level. How coaches can help players develop their defending skills within The FAâs six core capabilities.

In this episode, Sharon Muxworthy-McIvor, shares with us her journey into her role as an FA coach development officer. Sharonâs support is targeted at growing women. We speak in depth about the importance of getting more women into the game and how those who are interested can get involved.
The opportunity to play in a team wasnât available for Sharon when she was in school. And while many more women are now playing and coaching football, some barriers still remain that we need to work together to break down.

Sharon shares plenty of fantastic coaching tips on how to ensure players are having fun and how to better connect and communicate with them. She also offers insights into the free "Stepping Over the Sidelines" workshops that support women in taking the first steps into getting involved with coaching.
Covered in this episode:
How opportunities for women and girls have developed in football. The influence that playing and coaching other sports has had on Sharonâs football coaching approach. The keys to connecting with your players. Why itâs so important to have more female coaches in the game. How we can make the game more inclusive and get more women involved. Creating the right environment to encourage more women to take up coaching. The similarities between the skills needed to be a coach and a mum. Where to find help with learning the skills needed to become a coach.

Transcript on England Football Community
To kick off the first episode of season 4, weâre joined by Clare Daniels & Pete Sturgess to discuss the Play Phase and their advice for how all adults can play a positive role in creating the best environment for players.
Clare & Pete give us the low-down on what exactly the Play Phase is and how it came about. The Play Phase is more than just a phase, itâs a philosophy, and we learn how the power of play can help children to build skills for life, not just for football. We also learn about the role of the âcaptains of playâ of the Play Phase and what their role is.
We get insight into the role of parents and carers in the Play Phase. The Play Phase doesnât always look like football, and itâs essential to communicate the benefits of the philosophy with parents and carers. Clare & Pete share tips for how captains of play can get parents and carers on board, and how parents and carers can support their children before, during and after a Play Phase session.
Covered in this episode:
What is the Play Phase? The outcomes that the Play Phase sets out to achieve for players. Why it doesnât matter that the Play Phase doesnât always look like football. Why are coaches in the Play Phase referred to as âcaptains of playâ? Why assessing children by how many goals they've scored shouldnât be the main focus. How to get parents on board with the Play Phase philosophy. What questions should parents and carers be asking coaches and captains of play? If parents or carers dissagree with a coach how should they approach it? The benefits of parents/carers and coaches working together.More information on Play Phase will be available in September 2023.
