Leon Bland

I have coached soccer in 3 different countries across numerous ages working with boys & girls aged between 4-18 years old. I have an FA Level 2 coaching qualification alongside multiple other qualifications that complement my studies in sports development, coaching & nutrition.

My normal age range where I coach is mostly between 4-16 year olds players.

I played soccer at the University of Gloucestershire from 2016-2019 while completing my undergraduate studies.

I also played growing up soccer in my hometown in England at different levels with a degree of success.

A typical session with me is a breakdown into 15-20 clusters focusing around the introduction/reinforcement of fundamentals & new skills, the application of skills or session focus & lastly relating it back into a game like scenario via a challenge the player will attempt to complete.

I like to keep it fun, engaging & high intensity where players are working hard to improve. Also I like to question players on where they want to see/work on their game in different areas such as shooting or passing for example.
