I coach children for a living and it's difficult to constantly come up with new ideas. Grassrootscoaching has been a real bonus. I can search by age and skill category and find loads of different, innovative drills and watch them in superb animation. I am also taking my UEFA "B" Coaching license and the Coaches Chalkboard has really helped me plan and understand the coaching assignments.
