So glad we made the decision to sign up…
So glad we made the decision to sign up to the coaching manual with over 40 junior teams it is important we had a platform for our coaches to use. As a volunteer coach you end up spending hours scrolling through various websites, social media and YouTube pages. To have it all in one place is the dream ticket. Also we want to make sure best practise is used at all time by our coaches so seeing video examples of coaches in sessions is great. Our club's USP is coach education and The Coaching Manual is the perfect fit.
Outstanding platform
Our club have signed up to the platform & it has been an extremely useful tool. The support the platform gives you to easily build training plans saves so much time & the quality of the content is absolutely first class. Previously I have signed myself up & paid for other different types of content to help me coach my grassroots team, but The Coaching Manual is by far the best I have come across
You’ll never stop learning with TCM
I have coached young players for over 30 years (all ages) - trying to turn Saturdays errors into a plan for development, and breaking it down to simple exercises can be challenging.
What I like about TCM is they show you 3 ways what to do:
Written description,
Animated diagram, and
live videoed session using real players
The best part of that is sometimes you can see the 8-10 yr olds goofing off while the coach explains the drill. Just like in real life for me - it’s also taught me patience at training.
I now use 1-2 activities each week at training - being careful to repeat them for 2-3 weeks in a row to cement the learnings.
There is always something new to learn as a coach - no matter how long you’ve been in the game.
Can’t recommend it highly enough.
Season planes
Planned my squads whole season training schedule in 20 minutes!
One stop shop for all things coaching
One stop shop for all things coaching. I've coached range of age's and capabilities and this had something for everyone. I love the info graphics I can share with the players or parents.
The ability to build sessions, plan them and share them is excellent.
Tylhe quantity of training materials and quality of videos is excellent. All round brilliant resource for any coach.
New ideas
I like the fact even when I know the session I’ve planned, I still check on TCM to find those little new tweaks and ways of presenting it from top quality coaches. Cheers
The important toolbox companion
When I started coaching a senior coach told me that all your experiences and advice become part of your toolbox for coaching. The coaching Manual is a very important tool to have in your toolbox
The Coaching Manual is amazing
I really rate the Coaching Manual..
We specialise in weekly topics and The coaching Manual always have a really good variety of sessions and plans.
I can guarantee you will find a session for a topic to deliver.
I found this site after wanting to… upskill as a coach
I found this site after wanting to upskill as a coach. I've found it as an invaluable resource. With the videos, written explanations and animations I find I always have multiple ways to explain to my players what we are trying to achieve.
I have found my drills on the grass are working better, and if I am struggling to implement something, the ability to draw on the video resources as a backup has been really good for my players.
Fantastic content
Fantastic content. Sessions available for all age groups & levels from simple drills to in depth sessions.
Great sessions also from top level coaches, love Martin Hunter's sessions in particular
TCM - a tool for coaches and players of the game
I have been with TCM for the past few years and it inspires me to be a better coach. I have not added or shared the TCM with my players, However, The articles and session examples are often offering a new perspective and creative ideas that I as a coach welcome in order to continue growing as a coach and then in turn, continue to develop players.
Excellent resource for all coaches
Excellent resource for all coaches - extremely useful for new coaches development and a great resource for individual practices, to session plans and season plans.
TCM for the WIN!!
TCM is definitely one of the best resources for soccer coaches of any age group. It provides you with tons of information, drills, and videos that will help you develop your players into well rounded soccer players. I particularly love that it even provides you with not just session plans but whole Season Plans.
Top Notch Coaching Resource
The Coaching Manual is an excellent resource for me as a coach. I particularly appreciate the tidbits of information they send out every week. Their customer service is also top notch. I had trouble logging in and accessing information at one point, and they were quick and helpful with their response.
