I started my FA Level 2 in February 2020, just before we went into lockdown, there were so many delays and changes due to COVID, and now… 2 blocks, 2 visits, project completed and 16 months later, I finally get to finish block 3 tonight & be FA Level 2 qualified. 🥺🥳
As a coach, I would highly recommend trying to go down and watch other coaches sessions - you will learn so much! Good or bad, but you will still learn. Don’t be that coach that feels like they can’t be told anything.
The bit I don’t understand is Southgate didn’t trust these boys all tournament… and then makes them step up in the biggest, most nerve wrecking part of the whole tournament.
The fact gondoh is a professional footballer is irrelevant. You can’t tell a man how to react to racial abuse. Everyday society wants us to be “the bigger person” ... instead of you to address the actual issue. There is no “over reaction” to racism.
Players, please stop telling me the pro club you used to play for. You were 9, ur now 29, I don’t care.... and neither does ur current ryman prem team.
Management isn’t just making subs & talking on the side. Its squad selections, player registrations, fines, team sheets, people pleasing, ego managing, implementing philosophy, finding sponsors, kits.. that’s why I rate the guys for what they achieved. 💜
The person with the ability to turn the lights off and knows who’s booking the pitches…. Isn’t a club official? And another note… This also tells me…. you know who said it then……. 👀
Just been accepted on the B Licence.
You have no idea the blood, sweat and tears it’s taken just to get to this point.
And the journey is only at the beginning…
Looking for:
U18’s Manager & Coach for Millwall Lionessess Girls. (Manager’s role is paid)
U18’s GK.
U16’s & U14’s GK.
All for Millwall Lionessess.
All needed. Get in touch 😊
I’ve stopped all this tweeting after games stuff but I had an opposition manager tell me I ain’t got no coaching experience today and we just knocked them out of london cup. Safe. Hold that.
9 minutes left to go. Bellingham isn’t throwing his toys out. Players take note. Dont chat shit to us managers and coaches when you get put on in the last 10 minutes. Just take ur opportunity and do what you can.
If I hear another non league footballer tell me “I would rather not play then play for less than 150 a week” ....... this is what I’m gonna send you. My interview at OnTop FM last night.
I work 60+ hours in a week, spread across all 7 days - no days off. Everyone seems to think it’s so sick but it means - I don’t see my friends or family very often and hardly get anytime on my own. Naturally… people in your life just drop off cos you aren’t around for them 🤷♀️
When a non league role becomes available.. it’s the same names that get thrown in the mix, 1 of them get appointed, they do alright but don’t win anything, chairman ends up sacking them anyway for whatever reason & then they swan off, slander the club, and go again next season.
Reached my first ever final as a coach last night and to do it alongside my two new big brothers @sholmeslewis & Leon. These two have made such an impact on my life and my journey in the past year - I couldn’t have asked for two better people to do it with. #UpTheWall
Roca, SE Dons, Kenningwell, Lambeth, Portland, Brixton, Grand…. all south london teams, it’s war on match day but they still all support eachother. It’s not sounding the same over the east side of the waters lol
I mean… I don’t always comment on these things but isn’t Sevenoaks a higher club than Glebe? So if a man applies for a club in a higher league & gets the job, what’s the issue? Are people not allowed to progress in their career?
I see a lot of men say Alex Scott doesn’t have any experience in men’s elite football so she doesn’t know what she’s talking about. But sorry Harry from Kent.... do you have any experience to have an opinion?
2021 has been a year of new jobs. Towards the end of the year, im now Level 2 qualified, Head Coach at The Wall, Girls Academy Manager at Millwall and Head of Youth Engagement at Reaching Higher. Not doing too bad considering the personal stuff I’ve had to ensure this year 🙏
I saw a little boy watching his dad play a non league game today & literally screamed for his dad after the game. All just for one hug from his dad. Sweetest little thing. This is why it’s important to take the toxicity out of footballing environments. The kids are watching too.
I’ve got players that wanted to carry on stink in my previous clubs that are now knocking on my door for trials. This is why you shouldn’t burn bridges ya see. 🙂
I’ve had fever & vomiting the last 2 days & I’ve been telling people I’m not well and they will literally be like “I know you aren’t well but can you do this for me pls….” Lol people will just drain you until you die you know
Do you know what no-one has come out and spoken about PROPERLY…
Female STAFF within the men game.
and I mean BOTH sides to the story.
How women are treated, spoken to and tactfully managed out… and also how women have poorly conducted themselves around men.
Let me tell you something...
I didn’t disclose with anyone really but my mum had a cancer scare this week, but today got given the all clear!
Plus, 6 points in the bag with @officialwallfc winning our double banker!
I couldn’t have asked for a better Sunday!
🥳❤️
No more than 3 touches for each player involved in that goal.
Take note all you shitters that wanna take 74 touches before you make a decision. Thanks, management x
Don’t think I’ve been apart of a coaching team in the FA Cup before…
I’ve played in it and coached FA Youth Cup but I’m sure tomorrow’s a first for me. 🙏
Just to play devils advocate...
As so many men hate the idea of us women coaching in “their game”.. what if we stopped allowing men to come and coach in “our game” and use it as a stepping stone to kick start their career in the men’s game?
On reflection, as much as I’ve had an absolutely INCREDIBLE year career wise, I swear one day I’m gonna talk about the shit I ACTUALLY went through behind closed doors that the world doesn’t know about and I still fought through to achieve all this stuff.
Players are mad you know 😂.
Players will be late to every session, have a bad attitude, cause you nothing but problems as a player.... but will ask you to recommend them somewhere or for help into another club? Are you mad?
Story behind this video. I was on trial at Millwall & Fulham at the time. I had just played 90 mins at Fulham that morning at an inter squad friendly and then came to Millwall for this trial game. I was playing through cramp and they put me as a number 9 that day and I’m a LB 🙃
I just need Harriet Pavlou to sort out her pass accuracy in this Soccer Aid game. I know it’s for charity but pls…. Us women get enough abuse as it is. 😔
We’ve actually managed to get paid scholarships over the line for the academy. I’m so excited. This is one of the first female academies to offer paid scholars! Please get in touch with me if you are interested!
Oh and I left out one KEY detail..
For all the football dinosaurs…
The coaching staff I hired at AFC Croydon Women’s are an all black team by the way. 3 B License & a Level 1.
So yes - BLACK PEOPLE CAN BE TRUSTED IN MANAGEMENT!
I don’t know who needs to hear this but you are allowed to say no.
No, I’m not working today.
No, I won’t do that for free.
No, I’m not available.
Respect yourself enough to set boundaries.
May I just say.... I’m now apart of the coaching team at @officialwallfc 🏆. Great bunch of players, two outstanding managers I can learn from, can’t wait ☺️🥳
Completed the National Goalkeeping Course today and I’ll be honest with you… probably one of the best courses I’ve been on. Good level of detail, good insight into a key perspective of the game and will definitely change your biases on goalkeeping. Highly recommend.
I promised myself that I’m going to watch more live football this year now that I’m no longer playing.
So far..
West Ham v Leeds ✅
SE Dons v Baiteze ✅
MK Dons v Doncaster ✅
SE Dons v Hatcham ✅
Now I’m off to Millwall Lionesses v Ashford. Good start to the year ☺️
It’s that time of the year where people start dropping their highlight reels. I’m seeing bare defenders dropping highlights of them passing + distribution…… any chance of showing us if you can actually defend? Make a tackle?
Don’t forget about the dads who are not being allowed to see their kids for unfair reasons … today might be difficult for them too. You are still good dads in the capacity you are allowed to be! ❤️
You know what - we’ve never done this before a game but the management and chairman had our first prayer together before the game - and we won the PPC! One person to thank….. 🤲
A man once told @pittsthecoach he’s just a glorified Sunday league manager. Man went from step 5 to step 3 to step 3 in a year and a half.
I think at this point… chat to him nicely, you were wrong pal.
We let the boys play today with no instructions given, at all. My team were 4-1 down at half time. You can see in their faces they were deflated. So, instead of blasting them, we problem solved together.... and came back to win 6-5. ☺️🏆
One day, I’m gonna do a podcast just to talk about parents within grassroots and parents in academies, cos some of yous are the real hindrance to your child.
Short story.
Come to watch @__Fr3nch__ tonight.
Bearsted are 1-0 down now.
French comes on 65th minute.
65th minute and 10 seconds. 1-1, Connor French equaliser. 😂😂
Guys ridiculous
New announcements, 10 teams, 100 girls in 2 weeks. I can’t stress enough how grateful I am for everyone that supported, every repost every like, everyone that helped out on the day, the staff, the club.. everyone. 🤍
Now… @jordyjordz_ has come in as Chief Exec.. the men’s team were struggling, the women’s team didn’t exist & the 18s needed a helping hand.
Men’s - promotion ✅
Women’s - undefeated in the league & promotion ✅
18s - undefeated, league winners ✅
You are doing it right 👏
I been back at my parents for one hour. I been looking forward to this all week but I just remembered the boring stuff they watch & now I’m sat here, bored shitless. Merry Christmas everyone 🌲 🥂
