🎙️ Go Football Podcast – Episode 19: WHY DO PARENTS BECOME COACHES?

Welcome back to the Go Football Podcast – the home of grassroots football conversations for coaches, players, referees and parents! In Episode 19, we explore a topic that hits close to home for so many teams across the UK: Why do parents become coaches?

Whether it’s filling a gap, stepping up out of love for the game, or wanting to help their child’s team succeed, parent-coaches are at the heart of grassroots football. But is it always a smooth journey? This week, we discuss the motivations behind parents becoming football coaches, the benefits they bring to the pitch, and the challenges they face – from managing relationships with players and other parents to coaching their own children and navigating expectations from all sides.

🎯 In this episode, we’ll cover:

• ​The most common reasons why parents step into coaching roles
• ​The pressures and rewards of coaching your own child
• ​How to maintain fairness and professionalism as a parent-coach
• ​Building trust with players and fellow parents
• ​How the grassroots coaching landscape is shaped by parent involvement
• ​How clubs can better support and develop parent-coaches
