Over 60 coaches from all levels of the game came together last week in Acocks Green in Birmingham for the latest installment of Free Coerver® UK Coach Education clinics that have been taking place this season.
Following previous clinics in Coventry and Surrey that were attended by over 150 coaches, Coerver® UK Director Scott Wright once again delivered the clinic which was themed on “Germany – World Cup Star Models”.
The clinic featured a theory presentation to give attendees an overview of the Coerver® programme and also featured detailed video analysis on how Germany won the World Cup with two particular areas being focused on in the build-up to the practical session which was themed “Press & Protect”.
Coerver® UK Director, Scott Wright said “Following the success of our previous free coach education clinics in Coventry and Surrey, it was great to deliver our latest one in Birmingham. With over 60 coaches attending from grassroots to professional level, some from as far afield as Swansea, it really shows that there is great demand for knowledge in the Coerver programme and we are fully committed to providing opportunities like this up and down the country”.
“We have yet again received tremendous feedback from the attendees in Birmingham and are in the process of scheduling a number of additional free coach education clinics. We look forward to working with many more enthusiastic and committed coaches like those that have attended so far this season”.

“Thank you for the free session on Press & Protect the German way. I will be coaching most of this session on Saturday and most of my training with my team incorporates the Coerver techniques, skills, Drills now anyway. I really like the way the drills progress from no pressure to minimal non-contact then on to real scenario and also that using two feet is so important”.
“I can’t think of anything that Coerver doesn’t cover In some way so I can’t speak highly enough of this method. I am really impressed with all that you do so went out of my way to get as many of my Knowle under 11 team into your Wednesday Performance Academy at Solihull and the six lads that train with Dan, Nikki or Luke on Wednesdays at Solihull enjoy all the sessions enormously and even after only training for 3 months with your coaches I have seen improvements in them all”.
“I also attended your course at Stoke FC a couple of months ago and that gave me a great base to work from and at 46 years old even I am improving (slightly!!), Thank you to you and your team and look forward to future courses with you”.

Roman and Daniel [Our sons] will hopefully joining the Coerver Performance Academy within the next 2 weeks, [once a place becomes available] keep me posted on this”.

“Thanks for the Session last night, me and the lads really got a lot out of what you where saying and how Coerver and the skills should be taught and the reasoning and structure behind all of it. I have to say that I had read bits about it but most of all watched Daniel my son in with Nikki and I can see that its helping him massively with his confidence and also his footwork and technique”.
