    Health

    Following my own diagnosis with Testicular Cancer & having experienced first hand the lack of quality support, education and awareness for young men dealing with this life changing disease, I set up a support network for fellow sufferers and survivors, called, Be My Brother. The sole aim of this support network is to help men and their family / friends effected by the disease to cope better.

    Check out “The Coaching Badges Podcast” a show dedicated to the world of sports coaching. Whether you’re a young coach just starting out on your journey or a seasoned veteran scarred from your coaching battles, we hope this Pod is for you. Hosted by coaches, our objective is simple, we want to chat about coaching, have a laugh, share our knowledge & experiences. We hope you’ll listen in & learn something new along the way. This show is for coaches of all levels of experience, knowledge & qualifications. While our own background is mainly football…. we want to chat to coaches from all sports & know that we can help each other to become better at what we do. We talk about coaching all the time informally & some of the best coaching nuggets we’ve ever learned (and indeed stolen) have come from fellow coaches just chatting about random football stuff. This Pod aims to find more of these nuggets and to share them with coaches everywhere. If you are open minded & love expanding your personal learning … tune in. On every episode, we’ll be joined by guests to discuss a wide variety of coaching topics. We aim to have people on from grassroots right up to the pro game, from different sporting and nonsporting back grounds. Join us and coaches just like you from all over the world. We’re all just at different stages of the same journey. Check us out & give us a follow. Get in touch with us on Twitter @coachingbadges .... Remember, when it comes to coaching …. There’s no right or wrong way, but there’s always a better way…… https://thecoachingbadgespodcast.buzzsprout.com/
