In The Technical Area

Chris, Warren and Drew are back with a double act episode. Joining them for this episode is Portugese Coach Rui Tomè who has worked at the likes of Boavista and FC Porto and former EFL, NSL and A League player turned coach Wayne 'Sully' OSullivan. The guys chat about youth development across different countries, developing culture in a team, and how a growth mindset allows you to grow as a coach.

Chris, Warren and Drew are back after a pod holiday and are joined by German National Team analysis and professional coach Alex Otto. Hear from Alex as he gives us an insight into some of the changes to German football in recent years, his role supporting the national sides with video analysis including the 2014 World Cup Victory and maybe, just maybe we might get an insight into why the Germans always win the dreaded penalty shootout!

Join Chris, Warren and Drew for this weeks episode with none other than the Wizard Of Oz Andy "Birchy" Bernal. Hear from And as he regales his journey from kicking a ball around in Canberra through to rubbing shoulders with the best at the Nou Camp, Bernabeau and Wembley Stadium as a player through to his "Hollywood Experience" working off the pitch as an advisor with David Beckham following his move to Real Madrid in 2003.

Chris, Warren and Drew are joined by the enigmatic former A-League Coach, Kenny Lowe. Listen in to hear how Kenny balanced full-time work with a successful playing career in the UK, how he ‘accidentally’ became a coach, his move to Australia and helping to nurture some of the brightest young talents the country has produced during his time in the WA National Training Centre Program and then taking on the role of Perth Glory’s A League coach. Throughout it all, the importance of people and relationships in coaching are very evident – this is one not to be missed!

Join Chris (and his rascal headwear), Warren and Drew for this episode with Former Socceroo and QPR relegation saver George Kulcsar as he talks about his journey from Canberra to Antwerp and his time alongside podcast king Peter Crouch in the English top flight.
