Coerver® Coaching Scotland has recently delivered guest lectures and practical sessions to the student of three leading Scottish Universities and Colleges.

Coerver® Scotland Director Joe Jones alongside regional Head Coaches James Brash & Chris Crookston delivered 60 minute guest lectures and 90 minute practical sessions to sports and teaching students at the Scottish Rural University College (SRUC), The University of the West of Scotland and Dundee & Angus College.

SRUC Sport and Recreation programme leader Drew Wallace said ‘I thoroughly enjoyed the course and have heard nothing but positive comments from the students.  The content of the course fits in perfectly with what we teach our sports coaching students over the 4 years of their degree. As the course was delivered I could see many links to theories of talent development and motivation that we examine on our course. 

I also found the delivery of the course to be professional, engaging, fun and highly relevant to producing great coaches.  We hope to work with Coerver® lots more in the future’. 

Ewan Peacock from Dundee & Angus College said ‘We are delighted to work with Coerver® Coaching to upskill our students and provide them with knowledge and content to coach within the local community.  Having a unique curriculum allows our students to broaden their knowledge and deliver enhanced coaching sessions’

Joe Jones said ‘We have worked with many education partners in Scotland over the last few years, it was a pleasure for us to be asked to deliver this latest series on lectures and clinics. We share a mutual interest with the Universities and Colleges in developing the future coaches of the game. We look forward to further clinics later in the year’

See some feedback from students below.

• Joe & Chris’s experience and enthusiasm for the Coerver® method shone throughout the session and made it a fun and thoroughly informative experience. The course showed a great insight into what is now becoming a world-wide template for football coaching – Ross Manchip
• I think the course was really worthwhile and enjoyable. It was good as it worked on some very important fundamentals of the game whilst keeping it fun and competitive. As Joe said “coach what you believe”. – Jagdev Singh
• The course was excellent as there was a few practices that I will be using within my sessions. As well as the practices the course was educational with some very interesting statistics that I can again use with my team at the Queen of the South Academy – Stuart Douglas
• The Coerver® course provided great detail about ball mastery and how to incorporate this during a session. The training drills were fun and challenging. This has made me a better coach due to the importance of always having a ball at the players' feet – Liam Anderson
• Thought the course was very enjoyable and really interesting as to why Coerver was set up. Good style of skills and drills for the kids and even adults to do during sessions. Well done all involved. -Craig Reid
