Send us Fan Mail Episode 138 Brought to you in association with our friends at Soccer Coach Weekly (@SoccerCoachWeek) Episode 138 – The Coaching Journey, a conversation with Gary Piggott In this episode Scott and Ray are joined by the brilliant Gary Piggott for a fascinating conversation about his coaching journey and the wider journey we all experience as coaches. Gary shares his experiences, reflections and lessons learned throughout his time in coaching and coach development, exploring how his approach, beliefs and understanding of the game have evolved over the years. The conversation goes beyond qualifications, courses and coaching badges to explore what it really means to develop as a coach. We discuss the importance of experience, making mistakes, challenging your own thinking, learning from others and being willing to adapt and evolve. We also reflect on whether there is ever a point when a coach can consider themselves the finished article, how our experiences shape the way we coach, and why the coaching journey is rarely a straightforward one. As always, Gary brings some fantastic insight, honesty and thought-provoking perspectives to a discussion that we hope will resonate with coaches at every stage of their journey. Whether you're just starting out or have been coaching for many years, this episode is a reminder that coach development is a continuous journey, not a destination.
