Episode one: Creating the right environment with Pete Sturgess

In our very first episode we’re joined by our early years specialist, Pete Sturgess. Pete chats to us about creating the right environment for primary-age kids, before helping Shalin from Leicestershire with his coaching challenges and taking on our ‘swift session’ feature. You’ll also hear short clips from Rangers manager, Steven Gerrard, and England centre-back, Harry Maguire, as they share insight into their experiences as young players.
