Cornwall FA were delighted to deliver the first of a two-part coach development series at the
Cornwall Girls Emerging Talent Centre.
The event was delivered by Cornwall Emerging Talent Centre Player Development Lead
Vicky Fisher and FA Womens High Performance Coach Developer Tash Mills.
The first event explored how to develop a positive and engaging learning environment to
help players thrive. Vicky and Tash worked with the U8s and U9s Girls Advanced Development
Centre group to highlight how coaches can plan, design and deliver sessions to help create an
environment where players thrive.
Cornwall FA Football Development Manager Daniel Greenough said, “To host a coach
development event at Cornwall Girls Emerging Talent Centre provided a great opportunity for
local grassroots coaches to not only gain an insight into the fundamentals of coaching but also
the way in which the centre helps to support girls football in Cornwall. Vicky Fisher and Tash
Mills delivered a great session that we are sure provided some great takeaway messages for
grassroot coaches to use with their players at their local club.
We would encourage anyone who missed out on the first event to attend the second event
in February 2023 and we look forward to welcoming returning coaches back next year.”
For those interested in part 2 of this series, it will further build on the first event,
continuing the theme of creating a positive environment as well as helping coaches to
understand how they can further impact the needs of individuals within coaching session. To
do this, Vicky and Tash will use an older age group (either U14 or U16) to focus on helping
coaches develop their observational skills to help allow coaches to notice skills within practice
and link these to the types of interventions coaches may use to positively impact player learning.
