Qualifications recommended you gain


Although nothing beats gaining as much time as possible actually coaching I also think a committed coach will look to gain relevant coaching qualifications. This should be football coaching qualifications across the many forms of football (e.g. 11-a-side, futsal, street soccer) as well as gaining coaching qualifications in other sports. Qualifications in aspects like psychology, injury prevention and skill acquisition will also expand the coach's understanding of players and the game. Much of the above may be part of a sports coaching degree and although a coach doesn't need a degree it does demonstrate their investment in their own progression and learning.
