In this episode we held a discussion with Jordan Armstrong who is a fellow coach and good friend of ours. Jordan is the owner and founder of Soccer Hub which is a company which strives in providing excellent opportunities for kids to be involved in sport. Myself and James were lucky enough to get the opportunity to work with Jordan coaching football in his Soccer Hub Academy. His academy gives opportunities for players to experience the environments that professional football clubs have, as well as this he has created an excellent games programme which sees the academy play some of the best clubs in the UK and also has recruited a range of coaches all involved in professional clubs which helps with detailed coaching sessions. The topic of this discussion is ‘The benefits of private football academies and how they link with professional clubs’.
