Previous to that Rama worked in multiple roles with Rugby Australia from Participation Pathway Manager and in Coach Education. He has held coaching roles with the Queensland Reds Super W team and the Queensland Reds Academy and many other teams along the way. He also has a degree in sports studies with the University of Auckland in New Zealand. In the episode we discuss Rama's role in Georgia and the process of moving across the world with a young family, to a country where you do not speak the language. We discuss coaching roles and the importance of understanding your expectations. We also look at the changing role of the coach - both from a pathway or developmental approach and also the changes in the role over the course of time since sport has become more professional.

  • Amy Shepherd - Developing the Individual and the Team
    Aug 30 2023
    In this episode, I talk with Amy Shepherd. Amy is the current head coach and football development officer at the Sydney University Soccer Football Club. She is originally from Cambridgeshire England and has experience coaching with Norwich City in their regional development program, Watford FC women’s as well as coaching in New Jersey in the USA. She is now making her mark in Australia working across youth and senior women’s football. We discuss the use of games and constraints based coaching and discuss the importance of individual development plans along with team training. Amy's leadership and experience at the Sydney University Soccer Football Club is highly valued with the club claiming four straight premierships in the senior Womens NPL1 competition between 2018 and 2022 and their youth program being one of the best football programs in Australia feeding into the senior program. They also have qualified for the finals in every youth team in 2023 which speaks volumes for their youth development program.
