phd_angel Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 I wonder if any FM players have ever thought about becoming football coaches in real life? Do you think that the game improve your coaching skills to the point where you could join a club as a coaching assistant or something?... Are there football coaching schools where you can learn it?... I'd love to hear your real-life experiences and dreams about football as a professional, semi-professional or amateur career. Thanks.

wanderer89 Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 My mate plays FM, and he's done his Level 1, and he's just about to finish his Level 2 & he's got a job lined up, he already manages the West Bromwich Albion Blind Team, seriously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckz Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Over here there sure are coaching schools. AFAIK they're run by our FA. You need to attend them before we'll let you manage a team. 'twas too late for me for any form of career - I only started caring for footie at the tender age of 16. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

phd_angel Posted July 4, 2010 Author Share Posted July 4, 2010 Good! This is what I found in the US - The National Soccer Coaches Association of America, mostly for soccer daddies and kindergarten coaches, it offers several penny-making classes: http://www.nscaa.com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Drundrige Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Yeah I coach an under 15s team if that counts (my second season, last year had an under 12s), have a couple of coaching qualifications through the Football Federation Victoria/Australia, although they're probably not transferable back home but very useful nonetheless. I can't deny that FM helps my formation preparation and some of the instructions I give to the players! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
