The player of today and the player of the future. Youth & Professional Development has been a key area to the work Adrian has conducted through his years in coaching & coach education.
Following his initial years as a Football Development Officer promoting and establishing development programmes in a variety of local areas through school and junior club programmes, Adrian progressed to focus on the regional and national development pathways of individual players within the Welsh FA. This led to the further opportunities to support the development of the elite national players within the programme in Wales.
Following on from that period of employment, and while at Professional Clubs, Youth & Professional Development has never been far away from Adrian’s thoughts , with continued support to the EPPP Academy Programmes offering coaches & players alike continued opportunities to enhance development.
This vast experience & knowledge has enhanced Adrian’s coaching environments, and continued the elite development of young professionals progressing in the modern game.
