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

Aiming 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.
