Possibly Craig Gill - also works for FAW. Very knowledgeable and well qualified bloke.Percy plunkett wrote:There is a tall lad who takes the players through their routines.
Danny Eliot - also does work for the FAW on coach education and is involved with the academy set up. Top lad and a very good coach.Percy plunkett wrote:A short stocky guy putting the cones out and throwing up balls for the defenders to head.
In my opinion yes we do need that many back room staff to prepare adequately and spread the workload. Helps immensely when you've got more eyes to pick out problems plus they will all have different motivational attributes and skill sets.
Most academies will have 3 coaches per team and that's with kids when there's nowhere near the financial rewards involved so makes sense that a professional club will have the number of staff you saw yesterday.
