From Monday to Friday of this week, I will be blogging from Belfast, Northern Ireland, as I complete the final component of my UEFA A licence – an advanced coaching licence being delivered by the Irish Football Association, a member of UEFA (Union of European Football Associations). Steelers Jerseys Supply . The UEFA A licence takes one-year to complete. The course is comprised of two residential weeks; the first is at the start of the course, and the second is at the conclusion. The workload includes classroom lectures and seminars, practical sessions, three practical assessments, a group presentation as well as an individual theory paper. The practical assessments are the most nerve-wracking part of the course for most coaches. Not only are you being assessed by your instructors (and you must pass the final two assessments to be awarded the licence), you are also being judged by your peers. As many of the coaches on the course have been involved in football their entire lives – some at the very highest levels of the game - winning them over can be a daunting task. The assessments work like this; you are given a topic and must develop and deliver a training session that meets the objectives of that topic. You have one assessment during your first residential week, with the remaining two assessments taking place some time before the second residential week, usually at the club at which you are coaching. The first assessment is a phase of play session (meaning the session must occur with the players in the area of the pitch specific to your topic, and usually builds towards 11v11 football), and is expected to last around 30 minutes. Warm-ups, functional work and warm-downs are not included in that time, as the coaches generally get assessed towards the end of the residential week, back-to-back, and are already warmed up. It makes for long days though, as the coaches on the course are often asked to participate in the assessment sessions as players. It does, however, create a very collegial atmosphere; the coaches work together to get each other through the course. The final two assessments are arguably the most challenging. You are given the topic of your second assessment in advance, and are expected to deliver a 45-minute session that meets the objectives of your topic. As soon as you complete your session, your assessor gives you your results. If your session is deemed to be sufficient to warrant a passing grade, you are immediately given the topic for your third assessment. You then have 10 minutes to prepare your session, which is your final practical assessment. Its fair to say you need to know what you are doing. The theory paper has a variety of questions that you have to answer. Here is one of the questions from my theory paper: 1 (a) Assume you are the Manager/Coach of a team. What team shape would you adopt, i.e. 4-4-2, 4-3-3, etc.? Explain the reasons why you would adopt this shape. 1 (b) Also, indicate the roles/responsibilities of all the players, using a diagram(s) to illustrate the pattern/direction of runs expected from your players when ATTACKING. 1 (c) Finally, describe your team tactics/shape when defending, using a diagram(s) to illustrate your answer. You can be as detailed and descriptive as you want in your answers. Personally, I think it is very important to cover every detail as a coach, so that you are prepared for every possibility that might occur in a game. However, when conveying instructions to your players, the simpler you can make the game for them, the better. Ultimately, you want to give them the freedom to make their own decisions on the pitch, while always being mindful of their role in the teams tactical plan. I am really looking forward to this week, as I always enjoy a spirited discussion about the game – something that is sure to take place in the classroom sessions that the final week is primarily composed of. I am especially looking forward to the motivational seminar, delivered by a good friend of mine, Watt Nicoll. I worked with Watt for two years while I was the captain at Ipswich Town FC, and he is one of the most engaging, intelligent men Ive come across in the game. His presentations are incredibly powerful, as anyone who has seen him speak can attest. His seminar (and the many stories he will share over a cup of tea afterwards!) is sure to be the highlight of the week.

You could sometimes be forgiven for forgetting that there will be 253 picks made, as opposed to just the 31 on day one in Chicago.There is an array of talented players waiting in the wings for their big chance. Players who do not get much attention on the home straight to the event, but have the same opportunity to become just as successful - Tom Brady is a prime example. One such player who will be looking to make a big impact from a late-round selection is Dan Vitale, and he might just be one of the most intriguing 2016 prospects of them all.Officially listed as a fullback, the former Northwestern player is so much more than that.In college, Vitale played the superback position - a role unique to Northwestern, combining the work of a fullback, running back, wide receiver and tight end. Vitale believes that his experience at superback can stand him in good stead for an NFL career In high school, I wasnt really a running back or a fullback. When I was getting recruited by Northwestern, I saw they had this superback position and it really made my eyes pop open, Vitale told Sky Sports.In college, they told me as soon as I came that the two smartest players on the field had to be the quarterback, and the superback.I had to know not only just the plays and what routes I was running, but every block. I had to know everything, except what the quarterback was reading. You have to have a high football IQ.So now that I get the opportunity to transition this role and what Ive really embraced onto the next level is cool, its really special. I think a lot of teams are really seeing the potential this position has in itself.Vitale recorded 33 receptions for 355 yards and four touchdowns in his final year in college, numbers you certainly would not normally associate with a conventional fullback.But in terms of numbers, it was at the NFL Combine in February that the American football world really began to wake up and take notice of his athletic ability and just what he could offer. Dan Vitale (middle) impressed at the scouting combine but believes he has more to show Just for starters, Vitale ran his 40-yard dash in 4.60 seconds - a better time than 16 defensive backs. His bench-press test beat all but four offensive and defensive linemen.He recorded better times than Heisman Trophy winner Derrick Henry on five out of seven athletic tests, and put up a faster 60-yarrd shuttle than Will Fuller - renowned as one of college footballs fastest players. Cameron Sutton Jersey. .Despite his remarkable Combine showing, Vitale said that he was not as content as many would think.Personally, I was happy, but I wasnt satisfied, he added.My phone was blowing up, people saying great job, but on a personal level, Ive always done better in a lot of those tests.I was testing better at my training facility. Dont get me wrong, I wouldnt say I was disappointed. I know I did well, but Id say I was happy, not satisfied. NFL 2016 Draft A beginners guide to the Draft With just days to go until the Draft, rumours of where Vitale could potentially end up continue to circulate.The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are reported to have shown a strong interest in recent weeks, while the New England Patriots also appear keen.Vitale, as you would expect, was not willing to divulge too much information on what teams have been saying to him, but did acknowledge that the Patriots would be a good fit for his talents.I will just say that most teams ask me to keep quiet, but on a personal level, I think itd be pretty cool to play there (in New England), he added.The way they run their offence is pretty cool, I think they could use a guy like me. At this point, Ive done everything I possibly can to show all the teams what I can do. This is definitely the most stressful part - just sitting around and waiting for draft day.Just like the teams, the fans and the hundreds of other NFL hopefuls, Vitale will have to wait until the weekend to see where the next step in his football journey lies. Lawson on the 2016 Draft Shaq Lawson speaks to Sky Sports ahead of the 2016 NFL Draft But wherever it may take him, he revealed that getting the chance to experience the game in other places, such as in London, is something he would love to do.Ive had a chance to get to Europe before. Its something that Id like to experience again and show everyone what American football is all about.Id absolutely love to do that - it might be a really long flight, but its something Id be really excited to do.You can follow the 2016 NFL Draft on Sky Sports 1 from midnight on Thursday and with us here all week on www.skysports.com/nfl Also See: Tom Bradys NFL ban restored Top 10 moments from the NFL Draft Richard Graves 2016 NFL Mock Draft Kirk Cousins backs Leicester for the Premier League title Cheap NFL JerseysCheap NFL Jerseys ChinaCheap Jerseys From ChinaCheap NFL Jerseys AuthenticWholesale Jerseys ChinaCheap NFL Jerseys ChinaNFL Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
