History made. Proud to become the first South Asian Head of Coach Development in academy football in England - at Notts County Football Club. Let’s raise the game
One club. One direction. One coaching team. ⚫️⚪️

Honoured to represent @Official_NCFC at the Coach Index Conference.
Visibility matters. If today helped one aspiring coach believe they belong in the game, it was worthwhile.

Co-Coaching CPD at the Notts County Academy this week through a live U15 v U16 game.
Shared focus, visible ILPs and aligned coaching messages.
When coaches aligned, player clarity and intent improved immediately.
Most importantly, coaches enjoying the experience matters.

We are disgusted by racist abuse received by Joe Willock on Instagram on Sunday evening.
Following our win over Crystal Palace, Joe received several direct messages from an Instagram account that included racial slurs and deeply disturbing threats of violence towards Joe and his family.
Sadly, Joe has faced this before. Each time, we have acted quickly to support him and that has been our immediate priority again.
We have swiftly reported this matter to the police and we will fully support any investigation to identify the person responsible and hold them accountable, wherever they are.
This can only happen with meaningful action from Meta, Instagram's owners. We urge Meta to give the police all the information they need to identify the perpetrator, and to do so quickly.
Removing content and applying message filters is not enough. Social media companies must do more to protect users and support the prosecution of those who seek to break the law on their platforms.
We stand firmly with Joe and anyone else who faces this kind of abuse.

Coaching chat on here has felt a bit negative lately. Too many put-downs, not enough curiosity.
So from tomorrow to Christmas Eve, I’m sharing 12 festive ideas from top coaches, developers, and leaders. A small push to end the year helping each other, not knocking each other.

Fantastic workshop from @Gregtempest, our Head of Player Care, with the U13s & U14s on mindset, pressure and ANTs 🐜.
Sessions like these not only support our players, but also help our coaches deepen their understanding of how thoughts and emotions shape performance 👏⚽️
