Overview of the event 
This workshop will support you to reflect on the reasons your players love playing football, the impact your behaviours as a coach can have on their enjoyment and providing some practical ideas for you to try out in training. If you have two teams, a goal at both ends of the pitch and a way to win the game or practice, you’re well on the way to helping players fall in love and stay in love with football.

Questions this workshop will aim to answer

1) What games and practices can I provide that give players the joy of scoring and stopping goals?
2) How can I help players to learn and understand more about the game?
3) How might I use football as a vehicle for developing social skills?

What can coaches expect to take away from the workshop? 
1) Strategies to understand why our players play.

2) Example games that could be used to help players love football.

3) Reflected on their coaching behaviours and the impact on player motivation.
