As a football coach coming from an academic background, I think that there is a massive gap between the academic and practical side of Sports Coaching. I created the Sports Coaching podcast to attempt to bridge this gap.
‘The Sports Coaching podcast, the coaching podcast created for coaches, by coaches!’
Samuel Holmshaw – Creator of The Sports Coaching Podcast
Each week, I invite coaches from various sports, contexts and backgrounds to explore and discuss topic’s within sports coaching academia, and explain, as coaches how we can begin to implement these ideas into our coaching practice.
The Sports Coaching podcast was recommended as one of the top 25 sports coach podcasts to listen to in 2023 by Feedspot.com
