In this episode, Coach Yas is joined by Imran Hamid for a conversation exploring his journey from grassroots football in South West London to coaching within the academy at Manchester United.

Imran reflects on the people, environments and experiences that shaped him as a young coach, from seeing coaches who looked like him growing up, to volunteering in grassroots football, travelling across London for opportunities and continually putting himself in environments where he could learn, experiment and make mistakes.

The conversation explores what it really means to develop players and people, the importance of understanding the individual behind the player, and why coaching cannot simply be reduced to what happens on the grass.

Imran also shares insight into his experiences at Manchester United, where developing technically confident, creative and courageous players was underpinned by an environment that encouraged players to take risks, express themselves and learn through mistakes.

💡 Key Talking Points

• How role models shaped Imran’s belief that coaching could become a career.

• Why grassroots football provides such an important learning environment for young coaches.

• The value of volunteering, travelling and putting yourself into different coaching environments.

• Why coaches need opportunities to experiment, make mistakes and discover what works for them.

• The importance of developing the person, not simply the footballer.

• Why understanding a player’s background and experiences can change the way we support them.

• The difference between developing players across grassroots, academy and elite environments.

• Why technical development should give players the tools to solve problems rather than simply reproduce movements.

• Creating environments where players feel able to take risks, make mistakes and go again.

• Developing brave, confident and expressive players.

• Why psychological and social development cannot be separated from technical development.

• The importance of understanding context rather than simply copying what successful academies do.

• Why different experiences can make coaches more adaptable and better able to connect with players.

• The realities of navigating opportunities within professional football.

• Why coaches should continue developing themselves beyond coaching qualifications and what happens on the pitch.

One of the strongest messages from the conversation is that becoming a better coach is not simply about collecting qualifications or reaching the next club.

It is about accumulating meaningful experiences, understanding people, remaining willing to learn and continuing to develop yourself even when the pathway does not unfold exactly as you imagined.

Imran leaves coaches with an important reminder:

Aim high. Keep learning. Develop yourself holistically… and don’t allow the obstacles in front of you to decide how far you can go.

The Coaches Network Podcast

Conversations that inform, challenge and inspire coaches.

Hosted by Coach Yas.

In this episode, Coach Yas is joined by Mark O’Sullivan for a wide-ranging conversation exploring ecological dynamics, learning, expertise and what all of this actually means for coaches working in the real world.

Mark describes himself as a “recovered expert” and throughout the conversation challenges some of the assumptions that can sit underneath traditional ideas of coaching, coach education and player development. Rather than presenting ecological dynamics as another methodology to simply copy, the discussion explores it as a lens through which coaches can better understand learning, behaviour, skill and the environments they create.

The conversation moves beyond terminology and theory into the practical realities of coaching: what we notice, what we choose to intervene on, how players learn, how context shapes behaviour and why becoming a better observer may be one of the most important things a coach can develop.

💡 Key Talking Points

• Why Mark describes himself as a “recovered expert”.

• Ecological dynamics as a way of understanding learning rather than a coaching recipe.

• Why there is no simple copy-and-paste approach to coaching.

• The importance of context when trying to understand skill and behaviour.

• What functional skill actually means in practice.

• Why coaches may need to become better observers before becoming better interveners.

• How perception, action and the environment interact during learning.

• The limitations of breaking learning down into isolated parts.

• Why player exploration can be an important part of development.

• The tension between nonlinear learning and the linear structures often found within coach education.

• How coach education can sometimes simplify complex ideas in order to make them teachable.

• The difference between knowing about coaching and actually being able to coach.

• Why expertise should not necessarily be viewed as arriving at a final destination.

• The value of curiosity, experimentation and remaining open to having your thinking challenged.

One of the strongest messages from the conversation is that good coaching is not simply about finding the right practice, the right intervention or the right answer. It is about developing the capacity to observe, interpret and respond to what is happening in front of you.

Mark leaves coaches with a simple but powerful challenge:

Be curious. Practise observing. Allow your players to explore… and allow yourself to explore.

🎙 Episode 363 – Jake Lister | Designing a Coaching Curriculum That Actually Works

In this episode, Coach Yas sits down with Jake Lister, Youth Pathway Lead at Sheffield United Women's Academy, to unpack the realities of curriculum design in elite football environments.

Jake shares how he moved beyond traditional linear curriculum models to co-creating a living, breathing framework that evolves with players, coaches, and the demands of the game. Drawing on real-world examples and reflective practice, the conversation highlights how designing a curriculum isn’t about having all the answers—but asking the right questions.

💡 Key Talking Points

• Why building a coaching curriculum is more than a PDF document—it's about culture and collaboration.
• How Jake's experience in different club environments shaped his approach to curriculum design.
• The role of learning environments in fostering coach and player development.
• What it means to align coaching intentions with daily behaviours across all age phases.
• How clubs can bridge the gap between theory and practice in coach development.
• Lessons from designing “backwards”—starting with the end in mind and working in reverse.

🧠 “You’re not just creating a document—you’re curating a shared language that lives across your environment.” – Jake Lister

📣 Whether you’re refining a curriculum, building one from scratch, or just trying to better understand how to connect planning with practice—this episode will stretch your thinking on what good really looks like.

🎙 Episode 362 - Professor Andy Abraham | The Art of Professional Judgement in Coaching

In this follow-up episode, Coach Yas reconnects with Professor Andy Abraham to dig deeper into the nuanced world of coaching, professional judgement, and decision-making.

Andy expands on the idea of coaches making "bets"—calculated decisions based on their perceptions, prior experiences, and contextual understanding. Together, they explore how these decisions are not just intuitive but informed by a blend of tacit knowledge and professional reasoning.

💡 Key Talking Points

• The meaning of professional judgement and decision-making in coaching.
• Coaches as cognitive apprentices, modelling their thought processes for others.
• The tension between topic-based coaching and game-realistic scenarios.
• The importance of creating curiosity in coaches by highlighting what they don’t yet know.
• How experienced practitioners often hold "folk theories" that align with academic ones.
• Why working with both experienced and novice coaches requires a flexible coach development mindset.

🧠 “You’ve created a sense of deprivation… people get curious, and they start going on a journey with it.” – Andy Abraham

📣 Whether you’re an emerging coach or a seasoned practitioner, this episode will challenge how you view planning, reflection, and the development of coaching expertise.

🎙️ Episode 361: Andy Abraham | Evolving Coach Education, Judgement, and Trust in Development

In this episode, Coach Yas sits down with Professor Andy Abraham, Head of Subject for Physical Education & Sports Coaching at Leeds Beckett University, to explore the shifting landscape of coach education, professional judgement, and what it really takes to support coaching excellence.

🧠 With over 27 years in education, Andy brings a unique lens to how coach development is facilitated across contexts—from universities to elite sport, including his work with PGMOL and the FA. This conversation digs deep into the evolution of coaching standards, balancing structure with adaptability, and how we move beyond "skilled robots" to develop “knowledgeable doers.”

• Why coach education must move beyond standardisation
• The power of embedded coach developers
• What “good” looks like—and who gets to decide
• Trust, judgement, and the real-world complexity of assessing coaching
• How coaching frameworks can unintentionally hinder creativity
• The concept of espoused vs. enacted theory in coaching practice

💡 Quote of the Episode:

🎙️ Episode 360 – Fishbowling & Unlocking Coaching Potential with Russell Earnshaw

Welcome back to The Coaches Network Podcast! In this special episode, Coach Yas is joined once again by the ever-insightful Russell Earnshaw – known to many as Rusty – for a rich conversation exploring what it truly means to coach with purpose, flexibility, and curiosity.

🔑 What’s Inside This Episode?

Rusty and Yas dive into:

• 🧠 The lock and key analogy for coaching – why no coach holds all the keys and how collaboration opens more doors for players.
• 📋 The critical importance of intentional session planning – and what happens when coaches aren’t aligned.
• 🔄 How self-awareness and honesty about your coaching preferences (e.g., not enjoying 1:1 coaching) can enhance player outcomes.
• 🧩 The value of understanding your own coaching strengths and blind spots – and when to hand the reins to someone better suited.
• 🗺️ Why identifying team values (like confidence, decision-making, or self-organisation) must shape your planning.
• 🤝 How involving players in the planning process can foster autonomy and resilience.

This episode is packed with golden takeaways for coaches at all levels who are keen to reflect on:

• Their intention behind planning
• How to design environments that reflect core values
• And how to collaborate better with co-coaches to unlock collective potential.

📌 Whether you’re a coach developer, grassroots leader or elite performance coach, this episode will get you thinking differently about how and why you plan.
