We're bringing together Paul Barry, Ryan Maye and Matthew Joseph for the second MiMentor Explore Coaches Huddle, and we'd love you to join us.

🗓 Wednesday 28 October
⏰ 4:30 pm GMT


We'll be discussing the three topics we've explored in October:

  • Paul Barry: Rest Defence and Transition Control.

  • Ryan Maye: Effective Questioning.

  • Matthew Joseph: Controlling The Game.

We'll reflect on the key learning points, discuss questions from coaches, explore topical matters in football and coaching, and give you a preview of what's coming to the Explore Coaching Community in November.

Most importantly, we want to hear from you...

What's one coaching question you'd like our mentors to discuss?

It could be a challenge you've faced in training, something you've noticed during a match, or an idea from October's content you'd like to understand in greater depth.

Send us your question before Wednesday, share it in the Explore Coaching Community MiGroup, or bring it along to the live Huddle.

JOINING DETAILS FOR THE WEBINAR WILL APPEAR HERE

Can't attend live? You can still submit your question in advance.

We look forward to seeing you there.
