Neil Great video appreciate the advise. I trained at Wimbledon and Played for Sutton FC. The love and passion for the beautiful is in the DNA. I still play 5-7 Aside and 10 v 10. Inside me the passion is pushing me now to kick start my Coaching career. I am starting FA Level 1 to kick start. I have a vision and goal and would like to hit UEFA level. My DNA is simple never ever give up Attitude is everything to me and a positive mind set. I was close to becoming the first Asian player back in the day but was not meant to be. This video has been a positive and thank you much appreciated. I work in Aviation as a coach and plus points is peoples skills, motivation and coaching. Moving people to better themselves. It hit me Moh you can play the game love the game why are you not in the game?. Its never too late in life I am starting In sha Allah god willing moving in the right direction with passion. UEFA B is the target and above.

Hey Neil was curious to know if you need to be a citizen in that certain country to do their courses starting from the begining in grassroots levels/course all the way through uefa B/A licenses? Cheers!

Hello mate, great vid took in a quite a bit here. Just wondering I'm only 17 atm. Would going to college and studying sport and exercise science be a way to start this journey by any chance mate?

I’m 15 now and I’m ready to take the journey to make it as a Pro Manager. It won’t be easy but this video has given me a lot of detail

Really enjoyed watching the video. But at what age can you start the FA level 1 and how much is it?

Hi neil can you make videos about football management lessons.It would really help us understand and learn the game better.

hi neil great video my son is just starting out on his professional coaching careerhe has just completed his UEFA A badge in spain at the age off 22 his FA badges at 18 and is now embedded with a league club for his work experience he is head coach off under 18teens and loves every minute off it as u well know how hard you have to work to reach the level you are at I think all the points you point out in your video are so valuable to young coaches setting out and you bring so much joy to young people please give update as to where you are now good luck an all the bestdad of a exciting young coach

I appreciate your nice and humble explanation. Wish you the best in 2020. As licenced coach do I have a chance to get job in football academies of Dubai?

Great video tks. I want to start my licenses asap, aiming to get the top Goalkeeping license. Which country in Europe would you suggest me to do them? Would it make any difference if i get them in my low football ranking Malta rather then England or Italy? Thank you

really interesting 😊👍👍👍

Hi this has been very helpful I’ve not played football professionally but want to work at a professional club and work my way up Just done my 1.1 👍🏻

Thank for help

Thanks for the video, wanted to know being half italian, where would be better to ti the first level of uefa licence due to the cost? Italy or England? Or is their another country that provides it at a reasonable cost

Do you have any degrees in sport or anything or are the coaching badges the only qualifications required? I have managed a local youth side for many years and I'm looking to now take my Level 1 and 2 badges, however I actually left school at 15 years old so I'm not sure if its going to be worth my time?

Awesome Video!!! Do you offer one on one sessions with other coaches ?

I'm getting ready to do my level 1 I have already completed the EE playmaker as well and looking to go really far. Any advice to help me go forward would really help. Cheers

Hi, I have been learning Chinese for 2 years so would like to do what you are doing in Dubai but in china. Thanks for your info! Regards, 👍🏻 Matthew Kaczmarczyk

Hi Neil. Thanks for the great video. I would like to ask you about physical fitness course for soccer. I live in Egypt so I would like to study online or I can study at Dubai. So do you can help me and till me the best course for soccer physical fitness ?

is there anyway you can make a updated video? im trying to get as much knowledge of the process as possible so i can start building myself during university.

The question I have for you .. is that if you do have a high level qualifications can you be a manager at big club's?

I live in the States should I go through the coaching ladder here or should I look to move somewhere in Europe in order to get my certificates there?

Hi Neil just a question how much does it cost to get in to coaching. Like for the level 1 and 2, UEFA B, and UEFA A?

Hi mate great video, when you say grass roots level is that normally sunday league or semi pro sort of standard?

The love for football. Currently 19 and do have an interest in doing coaching courses and I dream of coaching some elementary school club so that they can still keep the passion for the sport and hope they can make it to the professional scene in MLS. I hope one day I get to teach a kid so that when he plays in MLS, he will break every record and European clubs will scout for him.

what did you do in Norway, a bit courios because i live here.

It's who you know not what you know.

I've been volunteering at the solihull moors for the past 2 years and have worked with kids that have disabilities. Is that a good starting point, I was also offered to do my level 1 with the club for free

If you dedicate yourself entirely to get your Level 1 and 2 badges as fast as possible, putting everything (like work or school) aside, how long would it take you to do that?

Thanks Neil....Can I enroll for level 1 or the beginning level online?

I have wanted to do my badges for around 6 years now, but have always had other commitments in the way. I recently did a job for a local coach who has got that fire burning again for me and has offered to help me get the ball rolling... Of course the pun was intended. 😉 I'm based in Harrogate, North Yorkshire. I am now 31 would you say I'm at a good age to get it done and start a new path in life. How easy it to do alongside.other work commitments? Thanks for this video.

Hi, I’m 16 and planning to take my level one course soon because I ultimately want to work my way up, I’ve heard something about you need professional experience to get to a level (it may be 3 or 4) is that true and how did Wigan come about for you? Thanks

i'm a computer science major and i wonder if i can do both at the same time, do y'all think it's possible. thanks

Would you recommend going to university doing a football coaching and management degree course and going to America in the summer doing a football coaching camp

@NeilOrmond, is there any way I can get in contact with you?

How to apply for an onsite courses and training as a beginner ? Thank you

How would I become a tactical coach or advisor for pro football club?

Great video, it answered a lot of questions i had regarding this profession. Still i have a few questions that i would like to ask you. I'll be sending it to you by email.

Where exactly in Dubai coaching tutorial takes place and wat are some of requirements to join

I'm a UEFA C licence academy coach for U17's level rn but I'm only 18 do you think its realistic to go semi-pro at least in the next couple years

I'm a C Licensed coach through the Scottish FA. I'm from South Africa and I'm trying to get a job in Dubai that's in the pathway. Any advice or contacts to get one

I’m in the US and I have been seeking ways to get my FA and PFF (Portuguese. ) Do they have an online Grassroots like US Fed does?

Are the Level 1 courses suspended because of covid 19? I can't see anything on the FA website

Hi Neil, Fantastic video, really informative and helpful! How much did the badges cost in total, if you don’t mind me asking? Did you have income from another job while completing theses badges? Thanks for the help, really appreciate it!

Hey im 14 have you got any tips for me when I leave secondary school

Hey Niel. Great video. If I may ask, are you a full-time coach, or is coaching like a second job? Thanks

out of curiosity how much do you earn from dong professional football coaching

Is it easier to start off in Europe or the USA?

I've got a dilemma where I've done grassroots coaching for 2 years now...but the club I work with have almost 0 connection to higher level clubs. Not to mention but coaching in Australia is definitely hard to make it pro due to its popularity down here. We don't have FA or L1/L2 courses here. And the certificates that you do acquire just aren't good enough to land interviews. Sucks to be honest but might have to try another country.

My old 14 I was a very good midilfender player , but I have a deformity in my foot 💔 ، and my dream is distroyd to be a football player , for this I wented to be a couch , but also my dream destroyed , because I am living in Jordan 🙂💔

Hi Neil, thanks for taking the time to make this video and share your wealth of experience. I am a 17 year old sixth form student who has been coaching for just over 4 years now. I start my FA level 2 badge in about a months time, and I am currently debating which career path I want to go down. I am the coach of my own football team at a charter standard club, and also assist with running two teams at my school. On top of that I run a foundation phase session every week with a company that aims to run community schemes. If I was to pursue a career in football, what advice do you have for making contacts? I have reached out to people I know that have contacts in local “big” clubs and football league team etc, and would like to get some experience within an academy system with the aim to joining on and then later getting my uefa and youth badges too. What would you say is the best method to get involved with these clubs and gain higher level experience? What is the best pathway into higher levels of coaching ? Thanks again for sharing this, it was incredibly informative and useful. I look forward to your reply. Thanks.

What’s the youngest age someone can become a coach/manager

I really want to pursue becoming a football coach but i was wondering what the pay was like. Obviously the further you progress the more you will be paid, but i was wondering is a job like this a risk to take and financially stable in the beginning as you learn and take the courses to complete your badges. I want to go into coaching because i love football and love to dissect the game, however i feel it's a risk as i could be in another job with more money. Anyway, i would love it if someone could educate me on wage for this profession at all aspects of the game in a little more detail. Thank you

I’ve sent an email with some further questions. This video however did answer a lot of them

Hi Neil, I am from India and I would love to coach a premeiere league team once in my life, so can you give me some steps on how can I achieve it.
