Become a Certified Pro Football Coach
The International Level 1 Football Coaching Course (10 online sessions and 1 day face-2-face coaching assessment) focuses on recognizing the principles of the game and its technical applications in 11v11 game situations. Candidates will learn to teach and implement these principles through functional training sessions leading up to the 11v11 game.
At the heart of GSA’s philosophy lies the innovative “360 coaching methodology.” This approach takes individuals on a transformative journey toward optimal performance by simultaneously nurturing the body, mind, character, and team culture. It’s a holistic approach to coaching that transcends the boundaries of the game itself.
