Carl Wild’s work can be broken down into two distinct streams.

First, there is the youth coach who worked with girls at Crewe Alexandra, Stoke City and - until August - Manchester City, where he was foundation-phase lead. He now heads up the junior section at Chester FC.

Carl’s other passion is coach development. By day, he is programme leader of the football coaching and management degree at UCFB, an English university which specialises in football and sport-based qualifications.

By night, he has combined his coaching roles with teaching the FA Level 1 and 2 courses, and is now a published author. His book - The Intelligent Soccer Coach: Player- Centred Sessions To Develop Confident, Creative Players - was released last month.

Coaches' Testimonials

Gerald Kearney, Downtown Las Vegas Soccer Club

"I have been coaching competitive soccer for over 20 years in Las Vegas. I feel like you are my personal club director. My players and myself have learned a lot from your sessions. The exercises from Soccer Coach Weekly are easy to understand and implement. I never run out of ideas and there is always an exercise for whatever problem we need to fix. Thank you!"

Paul Butler, Florida, USA

"First and foremost, Soccer Coach Weekly is truly unique and exceptional for its clarity and for explaining the "why?", in addition to the "how?". Soccer Coach Weekly is also professionally managed - any issues, which are infrequent, are resolved in an expedient and courteous manner. I place Soccer Coach Weekly at the top of my recommendation list for any new or seasoned coach of the beautiful game."

Rick Shields, Springboro, USA

"I coach both young club players as well as players at the High School level and both genders. The talent range is wide at times, however with the use of Soccer Coach Weekly I am able to apply the information to all talent levels and player ages and make the session fun and challenging for all players. It has helped spark me at times when I am at a loss for what to do at the next training session or offers a different approach to a current problem."

Tony Green, Pierrefonds Titans, Quebec, Canada

"My team and myself are truly enjoying the Soccer Coach Weekly downloads. Pierrefonds Titans are a great group of U16 Females who compete in the Lac St-Louis Association of Montreal, Quebec, Canada."
