S4 Ep12: Dealing with poor behaviour with Vicky and Vinny

Transcript on England Football Community - (https://community.thefa.com/coaching/podcasts/coachcast/w/coachcast-transcripts/1533/episode-twelve-dealing-with-poor-behaviour-with-vicky-and-vinny) In our ‘A conversation about our game survey’, 71% of people questioned believe poor behaviour is the most significant problem in grassroots football at the moment. That’s why we’ve decided to centre this episode on poor behaviour and how to deal with it. We’re joined by Vicky Fisher and Vinny Halsall. Vicky is a regional coach development officer who supports getting more females in the game and looking after them, as well as supporting coaches in general. Vinny works with the PE team, supporting trainee and currently practising teachers across the south west region. We hear examples from Vicky and Vinny of poor behaviours that they’ve witnessed during games. We speak about the importance of maintaining respect and the impacts that poor behaviour can have. Our guests share plenty of actionable advice on how to deal with unacceptable behaviour – both preventing it from happening, and dealing with many types of situations when they do inevitably arise. Covered in this episode: The impacts of poor behaviour on the game and players. Real-life examples of poor behaviour in football. How to encourage good behaviours in players and spectators. How to communicate in a way that’s both friendly and affirmative. How to keep our own behaviours in check during stressful situations. Advice on dealing with escalating situations where individuals may become aggressive. The role of the respect marshals and the skillset required to take on the role. How to go about reporting bad behaviour. Vicky and Vinny’s top coaching tips. ————— Do you have any coaching questions you’d like answers to?
