In this 10'000 download celebratory episode (Part 1) I chat to former Premier League & Republic of Ireland International, Andy Reid, about his playing career, coaching, character and helping develop players and people. Loads of golden advice for coaches, parents and players!
Reidy has been a long time friend after we worked together at Charlton Athletic. The questions we had on paper are listed below but there were so many more thrown in along the way! We decided we needed to do a part 2 as we chatted so much and the signal started breaking up towards the end. Some of the children at Pezzaz Street Soccer sent in questions and there will be more in part 2.
Part 1
(Start) I often talk about football being about special moments. I tell the children and parents not to focus on winning things and getting scouted but to enjoy the journey. Likewise at professional level, you donāt need to have won lots of things to have had a good career and even an enjoyable one. What special moments stick out for you...?(27:25) When did you start playing football and when did you know you wanted to be a professional? (From Archie Harkin)(29:00) Iād like to talk to you about street football. I read an Irish article about how important, and popular, street football was in Dublin with different streets playing against each other. Even Connor McGregor has talked about it in the past. Modern buzz terms like bio banding, self determination learning, constraints led coaching and ball contact time (to name but a few) were all found in those games naturally. Do you think the lack of those games now has had an impact, not just in Ireland, and how do you think we can recreate that environment? (51:05) How did you cope with setbacks before or during your career and what did you do to overcome them? (From Antony Batt)(102:50) How important is character, not just in the dressing room, but in terms of an individual fulfilling their potential and, is there anything in particular you can do to encourage characters to blossom?(105:49) How would Reidy the manager/coach like to have had Reidy the player in his team?( 1:15:45) You talk about outcomes a lot in your roles at Nottingham Forest and Ireland your outcome is to produce players for the first team, and if you canāt, then someone elseās first team, but is there a moral responsibility to prepare them for different lives?Please leave us a nice 5 star review and subscribe.

In this episode (part 2) we continue our chat with sports psychologist, Betsy Tuffrey, about anxiety, helping children and home life for parents, including lots of helpful advice. The list of question and timings are below.
Part 2
1. (Start) Anxiety seems to be a very big problem right now. These are unprecedented times and therefore I guess we have nothing to compare or contextualise it. The anxiety is obviously caused by the current situation but is there now a shift in anxiety of actually going back to normal? 2. (6:57) If you find yourself feeling anxious, or a family member is, are there any positive steps to take to try to help? 3. (11:17) Can you always tell if you are feeling anxious? For example, can it show up in different ways like feeling tired or having strange dreams...? 4. (15:00) The big thing I keep hearing is āwhen we get back to normalā. Do you think it is as simple as that or will there be a period of acclimatisation to ānormalā or the new ānormalā...? 5. (23:00) What are the biggest lessons you have learned during this period? 6. (24:33) Will the experience change the way you do things at all going forward?Please leave us a nice 5 star review and subscribe.

Is there any advice you can give parents to help with children that might be struggling?(30:06) Iāve noticed the engagement and enthusiasm has significantly dropped for online challenges since the start.

During quarantine I was asked if I would do a video interview for the West Canada Soccer Academy as part of their Player Development Master Class Series as a technical development expert.
I was interviewed by my old friend Jason Blake who I worked with at Southampton FC. Jason went onto work at AFC Bournemouth, Burnley and now is Technical Director at the West Canada Soccer Academy and Red Deer Dome.
The audio was taken for this Extra Time (The Inner Huddle) podcast and all 15 questions with timings are below. I hope you enjoy it.
(2:40) We know each other from when we both worked at Southampton FC. Can you just give us a little insight to who you are and your journey thatās got you to where you are today from a coaching point of view, and whatās really got yourself a good knowledge and experience around technical development?(5:50) When we were young we used to play in the street. What does street soccer look like now for young players?(8:39) With your background of working in the pre academy at Southampton FC, how young does that go down to initially?(9:03) With players of that age what would you be encouraging the players to be doing in the foundation phase and pre academy?(11:03) At the risk of name dropping, I want to mention some of the players I know youāve done some work with, 3 England Internationals, Adam Lallana, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain & Jay Rodriguez. With Adam Lallana in mind, how would talk about the basics of what Adam did with you and how does it trace back to work you would do with a 6 or 7 year old?(14:41) How important is technical competence to help you through the challenges of maybe not being a physical size yet when youāre playing against people that are perhaps a bit bigger?(18:32) Can we pick your brains about futsal and also what would the main reason be to use futsal balls as opposed to normal soccer balls?(21: 25) If grass roots clubs are training in a school gym or sports hall, is that sufficient to do futsal training?(23:04) Is there a difference in the type of ball used for futsal and does it make a difference when learning new skills and practicing them?(24:30) How appropriate is technical training across all age groups, is it equally important regardless of what age they re up to adults?(27:53) With regards to pitch sizes, we have a wide range of size within the FIFA regulations for 7 v 7 pitches. What are the benefits or challenges of being on the smaller side of the regulations? (32:41) For the younger players in our region, how should they think about their technical development depending on the position they play in?(37:30) A three part question: When is it ok to teach children tricks with the ball? Once we learn those new tricks how can we be confident enough to do them in games? How can we as players train during quarantine time so that we can keep getting better?(40:46) For the older players that might be a central defender should they be given a different type of technical work during this period?(45:37) Summary for coaches, parents and players and key messages to take away.If you have any further questions then please contact me at [email protected] or visit www.pezzazstreetsoccer.com

Q 20 (04:08) Whatās the biggest changes youāve seen since you started coaching?
Q21 (16:20) Iām really keen to get my reception year child involved with your sessions but Iāve heard thereās a waiting list. Is this true and how long does it usually take to get a place...?
Q22 (18:53) My child attends your Hampshire Player Development Centre. Some sessions werenāt on over Christmas and I was wondering why the monthly price was still the same?
Q 23 (22:46) Iām a level 2 coach. Iāve watched your training and Iāve noticed there are very few coaching interventions. Nobody is telling the kids where they should stand and what position they are playing. Is there a reason for this?
Q24 (31:20) My lad trains with you twice a week and uses his sole a lot to move the ball. His club coach has picked up on it and has a go at him for doing it. He uses it really well and it really defines his style of play but Iām really confused now and so is my lad. Can you help?
