A couple of years ago I took my Level 1 Certificate in Coaching Football. I did so for two reasons; one being because I love the game and have always had an interest in coaching and the other due to work. At the time we were creating a new training module in Football Manager and I used the course to provide me with some inspiration.

I passed Level 1 (it’s fairly easy to do) and was encouraged to take Level 2 as soon as possible. However, due to time and work comments, I was never able to find the time to do it and I’ve regretted that ever since.

Fast forward a couple of years and I think I’m now ready. I’m hopeful of squeezing it in this year; either from August or later this year through the London FA and I highly recommend it to anybody with an interest in that side of the game.

I’m going to start by taking a Level 2 Taster course and then do the real thing when the time is right and hopefully that will allow me to explore various other aspects of games in more detail in the future. It takes about 4 months to complete, so my only worry is it may clash with some QPR games!
