Chase football coaching programme
Harnessing the power of football to help individuals develop transferable skills that can unlock their potential and support their careers, on and off the pitch.
Breaking down coaching barriers
Not everyone has the same opportunities when it comes to developing life skills that can help secure a job or support career growth.
While 3 in 4 football coaches in the UK say their coaching qualification has helped them develop key life skills, and 62% believe it has made them more employable, one of the biggest obstacles preventing individuals in the UK from pursuing coaching is the cost - with 44% saying financial support would help overcome this.
