McCoolToTalk
This is Soccer (If your USA based) focus on football development.
With industry guests we will pick apart some of the topics we find challenging and might need a little help with. Some positive thoughts to take us to that great place we dream of, peace, satisfaction and tranquillity.
I’ve had a bit of a bonkers life, 7 professional football clubs, from grass roots to non league and professional football as a manager, coach and scout. Owner of several businesses but with lots of setbacks and challenges along the way. I feel its time to share (some) of it. I’ll share some stories and experiences with guests from sport and business. I hope you enjoy.
