The course was very enjoyable if a little nerve racking when I had to take a session of 15 "kids" or should I say other coaches. Whilst it is not 100% true that no one fails Level One, you'd have to do something pretty drastic not to get the certificate; although Level 2 is a whole different ball game (as the saying goes) As someone who has completed the Level One FA badge, I totally agree with the “give it a go” advice.

I sort of knew about the program (ie a friend told me about it) and I will have a much closer look at it now that I have the actual link. Thank you Nigel.

I'm really interested in becoming a footy coach, but I really doubt they have the facilities in Can'da. So this makes your articles doubly interesting. :) Nice one Nigel, I think we will se a lot more of you (and by that I mean “your articles”).

It would be a great privilege for Soccerlens I think, to continue providing a vehicle to the thoughts and considerations of a young "man in the dugout". Please don't stop. :) Great article Nigel, very inspiring.

I may give it a try sometime(with the limited opportunites-I live in India, he he).
