Summary

Jamie Birch and Kevin Middleton discussed the Football Coaching Academy’s game model, a blueprint for coaching that focuses on clear, age-appropriate development through a 16-week structured program.

Kevin Middleton outlined the three initial mastery stages:

• “Master the Ball”
• “Master the Opponent”
• “Master the Game”

And revealed three upcoming sections:

• “Master the Position”
• “Master the Match”
• “Master the Self”

The aim is to develop well-rounded players.

They emphasised that while professional clubs dictate game models, grassroots coaches often need to create their own, stressing the importance of having a clear model for consistent player development.
