    In this conversation, Ben Welch interviews Saul Isaksson-Hurst, a former coach in the Premier League Academy system, about coaching young football players.


    They discuss the importance of delivery and session design, the impact of grassroots football on player development, and the role of parents in supporting their children's football journey.


    Saul shares his experiences working with elite players and highlights the need for players to have resilience and a love for the game.


    He also emphasises the importance of playing and training in the garden to develop skills and work ethic.


    The conversation explores the topic of coaching young players in grassroots football.


    The main themes discussed include developing confidence in players, common mistakes made by grassroots coaches, session design, and managing player behaviour.


    The key takeaways are to create a positive and supportive environment, focus on ball-to-player ratios and ball rolling time, avoid overcomplicating drills, and prioritise player enjoyment and development over winning.
