Club Development
Advising clubs on their organizational structure, cultivating a positive culture, and planning for long-term success are central responsibilities. The consultant works to ensure that a club's vision is seamlessly integrated with its daily operations, laying the groundwork for sustainable growth.
Talent Identification
Scouting promising players is a key focus, involving the evaluation of player potential and the recommendation of signings that align with club strategy. This process is designed to support recruitment and ongoing player development.
Coach Education
The consultant provides support for coach development pathways, including guidance on licensing strategies. By mentoring coaches and fostering leadership, the aim is to strengthen the overall coaching structure within the club.
Training Program Design
Designing technical and tactical training programs tailored to specific age groups is another important function. These plans are crafted to reflect both the club's philosophy and the unique needs of its players.
