In this episode, I speak with former English FA national lead children's coach Peter Sturgess about the nuances of coaching children's sport, emphasising the importance of adapting the game to fit the developmental needs of young players. We explore the differences between children's and adult sport, the significance of technical development, and the necessity of creating a positive and supportive environment. Our discussion also highlights the balance between challenge and support, the role of emotional development in learning, and the value of small-sided games in fostering skills. Ultimately, the conversation aims to provide insights for coaches to enhance the experiences of children involved in football as well other sports.
