My main role at the time was to help to develop players individually by focusing on their ILO's and taking players individually or in small groups out of training to work specifically on them

Managed the advanced centre for U9s to U12s. This is the second stage of a players pathway to get in to the clubs academy team with the advanced centre squads getting the opportunity to play against the academy on a regular basis to prove their selves in getting a trial with the academy teams.
