Foundation Phase Player Development, a conversation with Pete
Sturgess, FA National Lead Coach (5-11)


In this episode we talk with Peter Sturgess about all things
coaching with a focus on the Foundation Phase


Pete talks to us about his own coaching journey and the time he
spent in academy football and his role at the FA. We discuss what
the foundation phase is and why it’s so important to long-term
player development, the different formats of the game and why
they are so influential to skill acquisition, multi-sport, how
you can frame `winning`, and how to embrace and celebrate when
our young players `choose` football! Like all our guests Pete
also shares the one thing he would change in the world of
coaching.
